Please Pray for Barb


Hello blog-reading friends! We have really loved getting to know Dan and Barb Evans this past year. They have been great to intern with.
Last Friday doctors found a plum-sized tumor in Barb's brain. It was the last thing any of us expected to hear. She had gone to the doctor for severe headaches, dizzy spells, and completely zapped energy.
It has been a long weekend since then. But they have talked to more doctors this week, and scheduled surgery for next Monday. We are still uncertain if it is cancerous or not.
This has hit their family and the ministry very hard. I'm writing to ask for your prayers for healing, comfort, rest, & patience. We serve an amazing God who is completely capable of making this tumor just disappear, should He choose to use surgery, pray for wisdom in decision making and excellence from her great doctors.
Dan and Barb have two children Caleb (10) and Audrey (5) who love their mommy very much, please remember them as well as her caring husband Dan.

I don't know any of the specific risks or concerns, but I'm pretty sure that brain surgery is always risky. If any of you would like to know specific updates and how to pray, we have set up a Twitter account for them to keep friends and family informed:

Dan and Barb weekly invite 65+ people into their home and into their family. There are a ton of us up here praying, concerned, and even heartbroken for this family. Please pray for our community as a whole to be the Body of Christ now to the Evans' family.

That's all. Just wanted to share this with you,
Elaine
