Below is from Reuben.. I am forwarding so you can get the photograph.  Reuben had not yet received the bulletin yesterday that said, Luiz’ surgery yesterday was disappointing as the cancerous tumor in his intestines had already burst.  That bulletin said Luiz cancer is in the final stages, and he would be given chemotherapy only to give him a bit of relief.  Dolores.


Urgent Prayer Update

We found out that our co-worker, Luis, was just diagnosed with cancer two weeks ago.  It started in his colon, and has already mestasized and taken over his liver.  They were going to remove part of his colon last week, and then start him on chemo to give him several more years. 
As you can imagine, this has been a tremendous shock to all of us.  Luis and his wife, Cleide, worked with us for 11 years. They have two young kids.  Mateus is 9 and Larissa is 5. Last year they moved to a nearby town.  Just recently they finished building their house, and were making plans to begin work with another group of Ka’apor.  As soon as they found out they left, and are with Cleide’s family and their home church.

Please pray with us for him and his family.  We know our God is greater than any disease and has the almighty power to heal.  We are asking Him to heal him so he can be there for his young family.  We also know God may have greater things in store for him than healing.  Pray for grace and peace for each day as they go through this trial.
