Health Update Prayer letter

Metastatic Clear Cell Carcinoma Cancer

Friday, June 24, 2022

Our dear friends,


Thank you so much for praying. I wanted to give you a health update since most of you often pray for that. 


Good news


The tumors or masses have shrunk a little more. That is a good report. I feel good physically and spiritually. I deal with some side effects but have learned to handle them.


Truth


I am currently in what is called palliative care. That means the cancer I have, Clear Renal Cell Carcinoma, is metastatic or has spread. There is no known cure. The concern is to do what they can to stop these tumors' further spread or growth. 


The doctor informed me yesterday that I will be receiving the infusions, cancer meds, etc., till the day I die. There is hope they will discover more treatments if they can control my cancer long enough.


Plans


I will continue to travel and do all I can in my king's service as long as He makes me able. Currently, I have to be back for my infusions every 28 days. I am excited that God has opened the door for us to travel to Peru in September. 



Prayer Requests


Pray that God would use me for His honor and glory till He decides to take me home. I will continue to work in the Society of Mentors. We now have meetings and training for men and women in English and Spanish. 


Check out alignmentministries.com. That is where all of my ministries will be until He takes me home, or I cannot do it. 


I will work hard at getting all the materials that I have taught for all these years online and ready for others who might want to use them.


Thank you for praying for us. Thank you for praying for Betty. She is the most wonderful wife you could ever imagine. Thank you for praying for my family. They have dealt with a tough year. They are all serving God and being greatly used by Him. I am so very proud of them.


Again thank you for praying. Thank you for loving us! God bless you all,




Austin and Betty
