Pathology Report

We met with Christen's oncologist today and received the report. The end result is that less than 10% of the tumor was killed by the pre-surgery course of chemo. Please pray for Christen and all of us as we absorb what this means and make decisions on how to proceed based on this result. And pray that we will rest in the will of our loving Father who always does that which is best for His children (Romans 8:28).

Wow, that's a gut punch that knocks the wind out of you. I'll be praying for you all as you consider treatment options as well as the flood of emotions in the midst of it all. I am confident that even in this tempest, you are all standing on "The Solid Ground", not "sinking sand".

Steve, Debbie, Christen, and family,

You are not alone. We love you all and are praying even more fervently for you. God has a remarkable way of turning darkness into light. Just keep your eyes on Jesus, the Author and Perfector of our faith. He will never leave you nor forsake you. You are in His hands.

Dear Lunsfords....
PLEASE know the prayers for you do not stop. PSALM 27:13 I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.
Psalm 94:19 When my anxious thoughts multiply within me, THY consolations delight my soul.or in living translation LORD, when doubts fill my mind, when my heart is in turmoil, quiet me and give me renewed hope & cheer.
In CHRIST's LOVE, Susan- for The Bryans

PSALM 62:1-2 and 5-8 have been a comfort to me when I need to be reminded of the place I need to go - to the ROCK!! We want to assure you of our continued prayer... go to Him who understands your pain and has given you the Holy Spirit for comfort and for all you need now. Prayers and love in Christ - John and Sue Burch

I am praying for you Kristen and I love you. Many
people here in Japan are praying for you.

Psalm 34:17-18 "When the righteous cry for help the Lord hears and delivers them out of all their troubles. The Lord is near the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in Spirit."

This is indeed sobering news. In God's economics, nothing is wasted. Continue to follow His leading..."He leads me beside still waters, yea though I walk in the valley of the shadow of death, thou are with me, thy rod and thy staff,they comfort me."
