For Pam's Sake
Donation protected
Pam was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic and liver cancer January 2024. Her journey has already resulted in numerous doctor appointments, blood work, CT Scans, and many other medical testings (not to mention costly prescription drugs). The length of Pam's journey with cancer is unknown, but the doctors have indicated that there is no cure. Because Pam's cancer was detected so late, the doctors informed her that any treatment may extend her life only a week to a year. In addition, the treatment entails deeply significant side effects. With all this prayerfully in mind, Pam and Karl have chosen to manage her pain with palliative care rather than other treatment options.
If there is one thing Pam has exemplified during this journey, it is trust in Jesus. She has complete faith in Him as her Lord and Savior and she knows that He is the one who numbers her days (Matthew 6:27). Pam is confident that every breath she has is a gift from Him (Acts 17:25). She is trusting Jesus and her Heavenly Father--the giver of all good and perfect gifts (James 1:17). Because God has proven that He loves us through His word, the Bible, and in Pam's life, she knows her salvation is secure and His promise of salvation is true (John 3:16-17, Romans 10:9, John 5:24).
While her hope is in the life to come with the Lord, the journey so far has been hard and exhausting for both Pam and Karl. We would ask that you please:
1) PRAY: For them as they go through this difficult journey. Pray for comfort for them both, good days and nights for Pam; pray for sweet moments together in these last days? months? years? (Remember, the Lord numbers our days.)
2. Cards: She has received many words of encouragement so far, and it has been a wonderful blessing her.
3. Financial Support: If you are able to help share their financial burden, please consider supporting them. The medical appointments, tests, and prescriptions are expensive. Helping with this burden would make a huge impact for both Pam and Karl.
4. Comments: Please comment as to the difference Pam and Karl have made in your life! You know they have servants hearts and it would be a blessing to them, friends, and family to hear how Pam has impacted your life.
