Pray for Kaitlyn!

Toby — Mon, 04 Oct 2010 00:49:32 +0000

Hey everyone! Our Romans lesson will be released on Tuesday this week. I found out on Friday that a woman who works with my wife has a 13 yr. old daughter named Kaitlyn who was just recently diagnosed with cancer. Apparently she has two very aggressive types of leukemia, and she only has about a 5% chance of making it past the next couple of months. The family doesn’t have a church and doesn’t have a pastor to consult with or pray with. I’m heartbroken, and the Lord has laid it heavily on my heart to go down to Little Rock to visit with her in the hospital. I don’t know a lot of details, but I do know that she’s asking some very difficult questions about God right now, as is her mom (the woman who works with my wife). I am going to be down there on Monday and will update all of you in the lesson on Tuesday. Please pray that the Lord would be preparing her ears and her heart to hear and receive the Gospel message tomorrow (Monday). Please pray also that I will have the wisdom and discernment to present the Gospel to her in a way that will stir her young heart.
