The Great Physician of our souls and bodies - an update on Jodi's health

Friends and Family:

For all of you who did not know, we have been quietly praying about a situation that arose with Jodi's health in the last 2 months. There was the possibility that what appeared at first to be 2 very large cysts on her ovaries could have been malignant or some form of tumor.

She under went a painful surgery 2 weeks ago and has been at home recovering since - hence the silence for the last couple weeks. She is doing quite well now. Our friends, extended seminary family and our moms were so helpful - staying with us, cooking dinners for 2 weeks, praying for us, cleaning, taking the kids while I was in class... God has been so generous to us to be sure! THANK YOU!!!

The great news is that God has answered our prayers and what could have been a very bad situation is not - all is benign and she is healthy!

In preserving Jodi's privacy we did not want to make the situation public widely until we knew what we were dealing with. We thank God for your general prayers for our family and continued support in our preparation for ministry. More to come from Jodi hopefully soon but we did want you all to know that Jodi is well.

To the Glory of God, the Great Physician of our souls and bodies,
