Please Pray for this Family

Please read below to know how to pray or to get involved with ministering to this family.
_________________________________________________________________

Chuck and Kristi Walker are the proud parents of 3 young boys, Cade (4 1/2), Mason (2), and Zane (newborn).

During Kristi's third trimester of pregnancy with Zane she started experiencing extreme back and hip pain, requiring her to be put on bedrest. On Friday, October 17th, Kristi was admitted for an emergency C-section due to what was believed to be 'Hellp Syndrome'.
Kristi was transported to UNC Hospital following the birth, and after several days of extensive testing, the doctors diagnosed Kristi with Stage IV breast cancer with metastasis in the liver, spine and pelvis.

Chuck and Kristi are believers in the Truth of the Bible and in salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. They believe in the power of prayer and that this is truly the greatest help to them.

for recovery from headaches due to the spinal tap-
for strength and comfort for Kristi- for endurance through chemo treatment procedures / meds

for minimal side effects.-

for wisdom for the doctors-

for energy for both Kristi and Chuck- for comfort / energy for parents with the kids / baby-

for wisdom in what / how to communicate to the kids more about Mommy's sickness.-
for contentment for the kids- for healthy / smooth development of baby Zane- to be able to have joy and time to savor the miracle of Zane, a precious new life from God-

for encouragement for Chuck and not to become overwhelmed-

for faith to know our God is the Great Physician, the Maker and Sustainer of Life-

for grace to find peace in resting in God’s sovereign will-

for comfortableness and vulnerability of Chuck and Kristi with their brothers / sisters in Christ to minister to one another – rather than awkwardness and fear- for a God given sensitivity from their immediate family and brothers / sisters in Christ-

for the church family of faith to pray without ceasing
