Ethan’s Story

Site created on March 5, 2024

Our dear Pastor Ethan is having open heart surgery on March 21st to correct a malfunctioning heart valve. 


CF Jupiter wants to show our love and support for Ethan and his family by taking care of all of their needs over the 6-8 weeks of recovery ahead of them.  We're aware of the concern you have to help as well as knowing how to pray for them. Please make sure to read the first journal entry as well as clicking the "Ways To Help" tab to find that information. 


On behalf of the Shockley family, thank you for your expressions of love during this time.  Please come back to this page regularly for updates on how Ethan is recovering. Thank you!

Journal entry by Heather Owen

Miracle of miracles friends and family! After only five days in the hospital, Ethan has made such amazing progress that his medical team feels he is safe and ready to head home and continue his recovery and care  in the comfort of his own home. What a wonderful healing and amazing God we have!! 

We know that you have a lot of questions regarding his care and needs once home, and as we learn more and those arise, we will make sure to fill you in. For now, here are a few immediate prayer needs:

  • Safe, easy, and quick discharge process from the hospital.
  • Confidence for Erin as she begins to assume the role of caretaker once Ethan is home. 
  • Comfort for Ethan as he makes the transition and adjusts to recovery at home.
  • Peace for the Shockley kids Elijah (2yr) and Ellie (6mo) as they experience Ethan when he is home. Especially for Elijah, as per doctors orders, Ethan is not allowed to pick up and hold his kids for several weeks. 

Celebrating the big victories alongside you all!!
