We wish to share another request, but it will take more than a line or two. This past Summer we were blessed to host two missions teams. Their work and ministry were sources of great encouragement to us and the people here. On the Pennsylvania team was a young man who was preparing to attend a Christian college in the Fall to prepare for the Gospel ministry.
When he returned home, he submitted to the required blood work for college admission. At that time the doctor informed him and his family of an abnormality indicating progressive kidney failure. In spite of the threat, the young man went off to college, but his health has continued to diminish. At present, many are praying that he will be able to finish this semester before dialysis is necessary.
As soon as he returns home, he and his parents will visit a transplant surgeon to consult regarding the options that remain. The family feels keenly their need of Divine direction. Unless the Great Physician intervenes, the teen will need dialysis shortly; transplant surgery will likely be required as well.
While it would be easy to ask, "Why?", the family is leaning heavily on the Lord's arm and praying for a miracle. I would like to request that each person who reads this blog will join in praying for this urgent prayer request. Certainly there is no limit to what our Savior can do, and Scripture admonishes us that many times we "have not, because [we] ask not."
Pray also that the Lord may be glorified through this young man's testimony and that of his parents.
