Newest Update

Journal entry by Sam and Jill Vande Weerd

This is Sam with a quick update, we met with our oncologist this week and all looks great!! We are so grateful for God's healing mercy and all the prayers you have offered on our behalf.  Jill's cells were put in June 29, 2022 and we had our first clear scan on October 11, 2022.   We will have one more quarterly scan in November of 2023, then we hope to spread out the scans a little more.    Our plan is no more updates until she reaches October of 2024 or 2 years, assuming continued good results and health.

First our praises
1. Jill's healing and Jill feels great 
2. So much time the past year with family and friends
3. God is a God of hope , healing and miracles


Our requests
1. For all those we know and you know battling this ugly disease, there are so many ...we hesitate at times to share our good news, knowing many others don't get the same result . Pray for continued therapies and treatments to get rid of cancer and to find a cure/prevention.
2. Jill and I were in Omaha for work this spring, we stayed and walked the same area we did last year, and were amazed at how many good memories during that challenging time we had, we pray for all people that battling the imperfection of health for beautiful moments during the journey
3. We all realize how special today and each day is, take nothing for granted and love deeply those around you....none of us know the day /time the Lord will take us to our eternal home,  but live victoriously while we have life here!  Eventually to quote my father in law who passed from cancer many years ago during his last days,  I don't think I will win this battle, but I will win the war!!  Jesus wins and therefore we win.

We love and pray for you!!  We wish we could meet you each face to face and say thanks, but for now Thank you!
