My roommate Grace and her family are in need of your prayers. Grace's dad works as a professor and lives most of the year in Taiwan. Over the past several months he has experienced debilitating back and stomach pains. The doctors were finally able to locate the source of the problem and scheduled surgery. The surgery and subsequent biopsies showed that Grace's dad (Isaac) has stage 3C colon cancer. Which basically means that the cancer is serious and it has begun to spread to other parts of his body. Isaac lost his father and brother to cancer, which makes him unexcited about the recommended radiation treatments. The situation is especially difficult since he is so far away. Grace's mom decided to head back to Taiwan this weekend to be with her husband. Grace is waiting for an update after she arrives and may also make the trip out there soon to be with her dad.
Here are some of Grace's prayer requests:
Pray for strength and wisdom for all of us.
Ask the Lord to encourage us and teach us to pray, to know what to pray for.
Please pray also for my father's family in Taiwan that currently is taking turns being with him to take care of him.
Truly our God is a God of hope and mercies that are new every morning! Though the past week has been very difficult, the Lord has been encouraging me in new and unexpected ways. Also, it sounds like the Lord has been encouraging my father and bringing him hope. Please pray for God to continue giving him hope that is from God and encouragement and peace that only the spirit can give.
Thanks so much for your prayers!
