There are few times when I post something of an intensely personal nature on this blog. Typically, however serious the post may be, it is more generic in nature. Today I would like to ask a very personal favor of you. One of mine and Brooke’s dearest friends found out last Friday that he is in the early stages of leukemia. He is only 28 years old. He was a 2 year missionary to China. He is married, and is expecting his first child, a daughter, in only about 8 weeks. If you go to Little Mountain, he spoke on a Wednesday night just this month. Please keep he and his family in your prayers. This week he began what will be a very intense treatment of chemotherapy, and on Wednesday he finds out if the cancer is possibly more advanced than they originally thought. It is quite possible he will be admitted to the hospital on Thursday for an indefinite amount of time. They need your prayers very much during this time. Whether you know them or not, pray that God would heal him. Pray that God would strengthen his whole family. Pray for his wife as she carries their baby during this stressful and anxious time. Most of all, pray with him, that God would be glorified through this. He is optimistic, but these things happen in stages. There will be optimism followed by deep anguish and anxiousness, and sometimes within the same day or hour. I will keep you updated as we find out new information. Thanks very much.
This is my friend, Cam on the far left, standing next to his wife Lyn about a year ago.
