Please join us in prayer

By now many of you have already heard the news of my sister-in-law, Beth's diagnosis of cancer. Please join us in prayer for her healing and for God's grace and strength to flood her and her family.

This week has been filled with daily diagnostic tests to see just how far the cancer has spread through Beth's body. Most of these tests have come back with positive results, praise the Lord!

The entire Horn extended family will be convening in Milwaukee during these weeks to support Beth and to spend some much-needed reunion time together before her treatments get rough. Matt's folks flew here to our house a few days ago and we'll all drive to Wisconsin together early Tuesday.

We're clinging to the promises of God and seeing His goodness in this. Thank you in advance for your prayers!

Psalm 38:15 "For I hope in You, O LORD;
You will answer, O Lord my God."

James 5:14-15
"Is anyone among you sick? Then he must call for the elders of the church and they are to pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord; and the prayer offered in faith will restore the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up, and if he has committed sins, they will be forgiven him."

Our sending church in Virginia Beach has her on their Wednesday night prayer list. It's so neat to hear of prayer coming from all over the States and the world for that matter. Mrs. Horn was one of my favorite teachers at Northland. She made it fun to learn Spanish and she taught it in a way that was easy to understand. I remember when she had our class over to her house... I will definitely keep her in my prayers.

Alicia,
I have been praying for healing and God's grace for your sister-in-law. Thank you for the verses on your post. May your family cling to the promises in God's Word and may God receive the glory in this.

She will be in our prayers, as will the entire family. I know that having everyone together suporting her, during this time will mean so much to her! I will be praying especially that your "little" family will have God's guidance as you strive to encourage and uplift. Chloe will surely be a blessing!

i tried to call sam today when i found out. as you can imagine i feel compelled to talk with them and offer help and hope from someone who "has been there." i have not been able to reach him, and i was wondering if you would mind passing on their numbers. best way to reach me is my work email tdeshano@lakeanncamp.com

thanks
