#cancersucks

We’re still in the early stages of appointments, plans, and figuring out next steps, but we wanted to let our friends and family know and invite you all to pray with us as we navigate breast cancer.

The journey ahead is full of questions, but we continue to have faith and trust that God is still good.

Prayer, encouragement, humor, Diet Coke, and Red Vines are all appropriate ways to support Jillian on this sucky detour. ❤️

(ps. If you are wanting to send something, we’re still living in the rental after the flood/asbestos treatment in our “real” house 🫣. Shoot me a message for the address if you wanna.)

Toni H. - Cancer and Health

Now that it has been confirmed and it will be very obvious soon as the weight continues to drop off  of me - Most who are close to me already know - but to dispel any rumors or questions I will finally let you all know that I have been diagnosed with stage 3 Ovarian cancer that has spread to my pelvis and abdominal wall.  

I have had two surgeries already this week - one to find and confirm the diagnosis and the other to put a chemo port in.  

 I will be starting Chemo real soon.  There will be more surgery then more chemo after that in the hopes of putting me in remission.  

I believe in a God that is bigger than cancer, and I know He will see me through this.  And as the song says, “No matter my lot, You are still my God, it is well, it is well with my soul”

I am so thankful for all who have been praying for me, sent me cards, flowers ,texted , or called- your love and support truly is comforting and I covet your continued prayers as I face the fight of my life.

But I really have to say that my loving husband DeWayne Halstad has been my rock through all of this.  From His loving care, making sure I have everything, holding me when I cry, doing anything I need to keep me comfortable and even tucking me in bed at and praying over me before  I go to sleep has really been a blessing.  He truly assures me we are in this together- I am not facing this alone and I am so grateful for that.God really blessed me with a wonderful man to do life with and I am truly blessed!

Thankful for a loving son who cares and checks up on me.  For my sister and brother in law and all my family who are also supporting and encouraging me and lifting me in prayer.

I also have an ARMY(Salvation Army) of prayer warriors praying for me as well.  

Keep those prayers coming! The battle has just begun! 

But I trust in God and His will be done!

Believers in India

More than 180 Christian families in 32 villages in India’s Chhattisgarh state have been denied access to communal water sources, jobs, and key sources of income in what local Christian leaders say is an effort to pressure them into giving up their faith. Families in the Antagarh region say they have been blocked from using hand pumps, taps, ponds, and rivers, while others have also been shut out of government work programs and forest-based livelihoods.

Community leaders say the boycott is meant to force believers into “Ghar Wapsi” reconversion rituals. Civil rights groups have filed complaints, but the affected Christians were still facing severe hardship at the time of reporting.

This is not an isolated case. Christians in the same region were previously denied burial rights for deceased relatives, adding to fears of a wider pattern of pressure and discrimination against believers.

YWAM - Doctor's Healing and Prople of Congo

Prayer for missionary -Dr. Peter Stafford

American missionary Dr. Peter Stafford is stable and showing signs of improvement from Ebola, his mission agency Serge told CT on Wednesday. He is receiving care at a hospital in Berlin. 

But the evangelical Congolese hospitals in the remote area where he and other Serge missionaries served are at the center of the outbreak.

Please pray for Dr. Stafford for complete healing. Also for the situation in the Congo. Pray that the effect of Ebola will end. Pray for families who lost loved ones from Ebola.

Michael Z. - Stacey's Recovery and Healing

I am sharing the following the information with the permission of Stacey Smith. As some may be aware, Stacey has been awaiting a liver transplant as she had previously been diagnosed and treated for liver cancer. This past Tuesday, the unexpected happened - a liver donor was identified and Stacey was immediately scheduled for surgery at 1:00 am on Wednesday morning. As we understand from her family, the surgery went well and she continues to recover in ICU. At this juncture, Stacey will be out 4 - 6 weeks for recovery and healing.
