Dear "Family Abroad",

All around the world we as God's children have just celebrated "Resurrection Sunday". A Sunday for the Christian arena that is a beautiful picture of our "Hope" for eternity.

Many times in our "Hope" we can have things or circumstances that invade our lives that can leave us feeling broken and hopeless. BUT we are never alone in our pain and by God's amazing love we are totally transformed - often to our amazement!

These last few months have been such a journey for us. God has taken our shock, our grief, our pain and left us speechless with His love and grace. Each day is a different journey, as Randy goes through Chemotherapy, but also with a new promise from God for us . 

At the top of God's daily agenda for us all, is his BEST for us!! We are learning in reality....
again....God never wastes pain. As we celebrated Easter we could shout again, "Jesus Christ Lives and He Lives Within My Heart"!!

Perkins Prayer Points

• Randy - daily strength as he goes through each phase of treatment. Boldness to witness to others in the hospital (see Special Prayer Request).

• Support level to rise as the American Dollar declines.

• Our children, Tim, Jen, and Jason, and their spouses as they journey this "Cancer Road" with us!

We are humbled by your love and prayers! Thank you for walking the road with us. It's always easier when you're walking with people that love you!

Until All Have Heard
