Prophet, Priest and PIRATE

Please pray for Joshua, the son of one of our classmates from Concordia. Joshua has Lukemia and his chemotherapy has been very intence,
Joshua's Birthday is Nov 2nd (he'll be 8 this year) and Andrew's is Nov 5th (he is turning 3 ).

His Mom & Dad write:" We are learning about what life will be like over the next 7 months. Joshua should have a "good" week this week and be at home. This will be followed by 5 days in the hospital for a round of chemotherapy. Then he will be home for a few days until the side effects from the chemotherapy really kick in. This is also when he is likely to get an infection (though an infection could hit at any time). The result is that he goes back in the hospital for about a week. Then the cycle repeats itself - Good week, moderate week, difficult week.


Many people ask us, "How is Joshua handling all of this?" Joshua has always had very good comprehension. We have been open and honest with him about his disease and what the next 7 months will be like. He definitely understands. He doesn't talk a great deal about it but I am not sure how much any 7 year old would. He definitely clings more to both of us so that certainly says something about how he feels. He is bravely enduring everything he must go through. We are very proud of him!

Prayer requests:


- continued healing for Joshua

- that Joshua would get his appetite back and eat well this week

- prayer of thanks for everyone who is supporting us
