After first and foremost seeking the Lord and in concert with seeking an abundance of godly counsel, it’s clear that the time has now come for me to take the time off to be with my wife, who, as you know, has entered into an end-of-life, quality-of-life care due to the cancer swiftly spreading throughout her brain.
As such, starting this Sunday, September 7th, Pastor Leitu and Pastor Mac will begin filling in for me as long as is needed until I’m able to return. This for what could be an extended period of time in order for me to have enough time to be by the side, of my bride, for as long as I can, while I still can, as I have for our 37-years of marriage, whether “in sickness or in health”, and now, “till death do us part”.
Please know that we cannot thank you all enough for your overwhelming love and prayers. Also, we are most grateful to all of you for understanding and respecting our privacy during this painful time of grief and sorrow. While we still believe, by faith, that Kellie could miraculously, even instantly be healed by Jesus, we are preparing for her home going to be with Jesus.
Lastly, I will try to provide updates, in as much as I’m able and please know that I’m ever so appreciative of the grace, patience and kindness you’ve shown to my family and myself. I truly hope you know that I will miss you all so much, and that I love you all so much!!!
Until,
