Pray for the Hovius Family

“I believe in God’s power to heal—by miracle and by medicine. I believe it is right and good to pray for both kinds of healing. Cancer is not wasted when it is healed by God. He gets the glory and that is why cancer exists. So not to pray for healing may waste your cancer. But healing is not God’s plan for everyone.”  John Piper, Don’t Waste Your Cancer

This is a short post.  I am going to cut to the chase.  Will you please pray for Gary Hovius as he battles cancer?  Will you please pray for his wife and his kids and grand kids as well?  Gary, we are praying for you.

So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal. ~ 2 Corinthians 4:16-18
