Prayer for the Richmonds


From Dean Rueckert, Chairman of CDYFC's Board of Directors:

Dear Friends,

This is being sent so that you are all well informed with the information that we have at 4 pm today and so that you know what  specifically to be praying for regarding Chris and John Richmond.  They now know the results of the PET scan taken Tuesday.  The scan shows that there is a mass in a lobe of a lung as well as what appears to be  some tumors on the liver and a kidney. There is a high probability that it is cancer but the doctors do not know that for sure at this moment.  A biopsy will be performed on Monday and it may be a few days before  the lab test determines if it is cancer and what type of cancer it may be.  As I‘m sure many of you know, some cancers respond very well to chemo.  But until the lab report comes back a plan of treatment can not be determined.

Please continue to pray for healing for Chris, wisdom for all those whose care she is in, and peace for the Richmond family. I could not  even begin to count the number of people that love and care about John and Chris, but I do know that God knows, and He hears the prayers of a righteous man.  He knows the desires of our heart, and that is for us all to know that Chris is going to be ok.
 
There will be a prayer service for Chris and the Richmonds this coming Sunday night, May 1st at 6:00 PM at First Baptist Church of Scotia on Mohawk Ave./Rte. 5.  Rev. Jay Richmond and Eric Reamer are co-pastors there.
 
"God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging...Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall, he lifts his voice, the earth melts. The LORD Almighty is with us, the God of Jacob is our fortress."
Psalm 46: 1-3, 6-7
