Thanks for sharing your journey

We have had the wonderful privelage of meeting an amazing family about 4 years ago and watching the journey they have walked throught. E. and R. are parents of 3 little ones and were serving at a seminary in Romania when their daughter was diagnosed with neuroblastoma. With no advanced medical care available, they sent out requests to the US. God stirred some people in our towns hearts and brought the whole family here. Over the last 4.5 years, this family has lived here and gotten treatment for their child. Many times in church, we would have special prayer times and offerings for them. Several times the child was very near death and doctors gave no hope. I'm so excited to say that today, they made special appearance at our church to say goodbye. They leave next week for Romania, with all their children! Their daughter is currently cancer free!! Neuroblastoma is one of the most aggressive childhood cancers with a grim prognosis. This special little girl has had kidney damage, re-learned to walk several times, and spent more time in ICU than any human being should be able to endure. So, to the S. family, we say THANK YOU for sharing your miracles, your family's joys and struggles, and most of all for your testimony to God's faithfulness. You have served well. May God bless your work in Romania with peace, fruit, friends, health, and most of all may HE receive glory through your family!
