Going Into Battle!

Curt was so happy to see many of you at church on Sunday! It was wonderful to worship again with our church family at Hope. We had a great Father’s day, and hope all of you dads were totally spoiled yesterday by your loved ones!

Today is the first day of Curt’s chemo and radiation…we’re declaring WAR on this nasty tumor! His first radiation session went fine this morning, and the chemo, in the form of pills, will be taken once a day in the evening.

We’re so excited that you are joining with us to fight this fight in the heavenly realms, persevering in prayer for this battle over the next six weeks. Please pray that whatever is left of the tumor (after this last surgery) is beaten back into remission through the treatments. Please also pray for great precision and accuracy for the doctors, and for strength and protection from infection for Curt’s body.

Thank you for all of your support and prayer during these last nine weeks…so much has happened, and we have already seen God work in mighty ways!

With our love and gratitude,
Patti and family

  7. So glad to hear Curt has been able to go back to church. Amazing!! We love your courage and perseverance. I have always known that you are both very strong people, and your faith is strong too, but that blows me away. Our faith in God makes all the difference in this battle, and I have witnessed that over and over again. It's a good fight. Your call to prayer is the best call you can make, and we will be kneeling with you with all our hearts.
    Much love,
    Karen
