Some dear friends of ours are in L.A. right now. Conor and Laura are awaiting a 3rd brain surgery for Conor to remove (hopefully this time) ALL of the remaining malignant tumor that remains after two previous surgeries.

Conor found out about 2 years ago that he had a brain tumor. The tumor is slow-growing and doctors think he's had it since he was around ten years old. These two years have been filled with obvious ups and downs related to the cancer situation, but we are all praying earnestly that after THIS THURSDAY, OCTOBER 23, Conor will be CANCER FREE after having ALL of the tumor removed by his amazing doctor.

Medically speaking, the MRI Conor had recently showed that most - but not all - of the tumor moved into a safe area for an operation. As far as we know the doctors are planning on getting as much out as they can, but suspect a 4th surgery in the future...

...BUT...as Christians, we know how POWERFUL OUR GOD IS. Our God is more powerful than any medical report...more powerful than any doctor and team of nurses...more powerful than any disease. He has the power to completely eradicate the tumor before they even need a 3rd operation...and he has the power to move the rest of the tumor in a safe and operable place so they can get it out of him!

These are Conor and Laura's top 3 prayer requests and I ask you all to join us in praying for these specific requests:

1. That the ENTIRE tumor will be COMPLETELY REMOVED so they can be done with it all - so they can finally start to move on with their lives.

2. That there will be no facial paralysis post surgery (after his 2nd surgery Conor dealt with some facial paralysis for quite some time).

3. That Conor will be able to again continue his studies this January so he can continue working towards his education degree.




Again, Conor's surgery is this Thursday, October 23 early morning. They have to get to the hospital at 5:30am and expect to be in surgery at 7:00 or 8:00 (or 10/11:00 Michigan time).

In times like these there's nothing better we can do than go before the throne of grace with our requests, knowing that God is sovereign over all and has the power to end this battle with cancer once and for all!
