UPDATE ON MICHAEL
Our precious Michael’s pilgrimage here is over. He went home to Jesus yesterday, 5/8/2026. Devastating those of us he left behind, but we are grateful that he is no longer suffering here, but fully healed now with his Savior, Redeemer, and home with his earthly father as well. The passing of time will make life easier, but the void can never be filled that Michael has left. It is unimaginable to think of him gone..…Prayers are still needed for this family, and very much appreciated.
I wanted to start this campaign again for Julie because it is very much needed and there needs to be a way for people to help, who feel led. It 100% goes to her and I hope it will ease the financial burdens ahead.
We simply can’t thank you enough for all that has been given and done for this precious family, but we do pray that you will be blessed for giving so selflessly.
We have cried together, and prayed together, and begged God for healing and strength for this man who was suddenly way closer to dying than living when Michael was diagnosed with Stage 4 Colon cancer that had spread to his liver. God heard our prayers and calmed our fears time and time again when the tests gave us hope and more hope!
Well, we feel like this is what we have been begging God for! His plans have changed doctors’ plans and work plans and family plans and the time has come to RALLY UP! We don’t know what to expect in the weeks and months ahead but we will trust God to provide a way, and I have asked for permission to ask you that if you feel led to help this family financially, it would mean so much to them! They are looking at traveling to Duke, over 5 hours each way, for treatment so that Michael can hopefully have surgery to remove the tumor on his liver. We don’t know how this intense chemo will leave Michael feeling, and if they might have to live there at some point. It is all uncertain, but God is in it and we know it’s what we have prayed for! I am sure you all can imagine if you had to change your whole life at a moment’s notice and add in the medical & traveling expenses that it would be overwhelming. Please just help if you feel led and pray for them either way. Pray for this treatment to not only be successful but swift and hopefully painless for Michael. Chemo so far has been working great but leaving him with a lot of pain.
It’s been such a blessing to see God move mountains and to see how much Michael has meant to so many people outside of our family. He is a very special man with a huge heart and a passion for God’s business down here.
Thank you from all of his family, and may God greatly bless you for sharing in this journey with us and giving of yourselves so unselfishly.
