A Family’s Nightmare

When Lauren was kidnapped and taken to Jordan by her father, it marked the beginning of a desperate and emotional ordeal. Cathy, Lauren’s mother, was left devastated and unsure of what to do. Fortunately, Cathy wasn’t alone; close family friends Rick and Beverly Lambert, parents of country singer-songwriter Miranda Lambert, immediately came to her aid.

Unyielding Support

Rick and Beverly Lambert didn’t hesitate for a moment. They dropped everything and moved into Cathy’s townhouse with their daughter Miranda, offering unwavering support day and night. Beverly provided emotional support, constantly reminding Cathy of the power of prayer and encouraging her to seek God’s guidance during this difficult time.

The Power of Prayer

Following Beverly’s advice, Cathy decided to go away for a few days to pray and fast, seeking God’s intervention. She spent three days and nights in a motel room in Fort Worth, Texas, praying fervently. During this period, Cathy was comforted by a scripture verse in the book of Daniel, which reassured her that God was with her.

Rick Lambert’s Crucial Role

Rick Lambert, a former police officer in Dallas, played a vital role in the rescue efforts. At the time of Lauren’s kidnapping, Rick and Beverly owned a private investigation company called Lambert and Lambert. Leveraging his experience and connections, Rick was instrumental in setting up a meeting with the grand jury in Dallas for Cathy to request a warrant for Lauren’s father, Ali.

A Turning Point

After meeting with the grand jury and spending time in prayer, Cathy felt a renewed sense of hope. Everything began to change as her faith grew stronger. The collective efforts of friends, family, and prayer set the stage for an eventual breakthrough in bringing Lauren back home safely.
