Vern was unable to have the surgery because it was found that the cancer had invaded his liver. Unless God intervenes in a miraculous way, Vern has only a short time to live. He did undergo chemotherapy on Friday, May 2 and I suspect I have not heard from him this week just because of the after affects of the chemo. His doctor told him it would make him very ill, but it was the only way to extend his life a bit longer.
As all of you have gathered from his posts, Vern has complete faith that God is using this for His good pleasure and to bring about what is in His perfect will. Every time I speak to Vern or read an email from him, I am amazed at his incredible testimony of faith in his Heavenly Father.
It is Vern's wish that as many people as possible will become believers in Jesus Christ as a result of Vern's faithfulness during these tough days.
For all of you who know Jesus Christ as your personal savior and who believe in prayer, please continue to pray that Vern and Pam will increasingly feel God's love and experience His grace in their lives.
