Dear Friends,
We are writing you again in the midst of a very challenging health situation, and while we don’t love having to keep reaching out in these circumstances, we know God has called us together for good and bad times. Our oldest son, Reuben (12) is not well. He has been struggling with poor health episodes for the past year but now he has been sick and unable to go to school for two and a half weeks. He has ups and downs, but he is experiencing pain every day to the extent that he can’t live his normal life.
This situation is frustrating in that, after quite a few medical tests, we have been unable to get to the root of the problem or even have clarity about what’s wrong. In the coming few weeks, we have appointments with a few specialists and likely some more tests to do.
Please pray with us:
For healing in Jesus’ name
For clarity about a path forward for Reuben with medical care
For open doors or connections that God might show us to help shed light on the situation and help us figure out what’s happening and how to treat it
For our Eli, Silas and Elodie as they navigate this at school and at home
For Joanna and Tom to operate out of faith and not fear as we seek help
How you can help:
Please do be in touch if you you’d like to share something from your times of prayer or any other ideas.
We will be starting a WhatsApp broadcast group for people interested in hearing more frequent health updates on Reuben. Please respond to this email with your phone number.
Thank you for praying with us.
Every Blessing,
The Appels
