Below is an update on Pastor Isaac. While TB is very serious it is tresatsble. Isaac is scheduled to be on strong antibiotics for a year but pretty much complete healing is expected. Lymph node, stage 3 was what the doctors had feared; that would be untreatable. Below is from the family.
Please also be praying, in about 20 minutes we'll be leaving to do our 3rd grade camp. School is really excited. I also have some exciting updates from the last camp that is just mind blowing. Plan on sending out a report on today's camp, last nights talk went well; Hours to speak, wasn't able to share everything planned but sense God's Spirit working as we discussed living radically for Jesus, based on Hebrews 11:1-12:2. Thank you for praying, Light touch of Delhi Belly seems to be over, though was weak last night.
Thank you for praying all.
Have a great day with Jesus. Keep shining brightly for Him.
The song below is very beautiful, it is going to be sung here on Sunday. Sang it with the family this past Sunday as Myriam played it on the piano and Gloria on her violin.
Until Every Child Knows,

Dear Big Jim,
The results of the biopsy came today and the Doctor informed us that Isaac has Extra Pulmonary Tuberculosis. We praise God for this diagnosis as the doctors said they were suspecting worse. The doctor who is heading the case and tests comes to our church. As soon as we received the news Isaac got the team together and thanked the Lord for the outcome of the tests. Isaac has recommitted himself that he will keep going till North India has heard, or till the Lord calls him home.
This has been a difficult month of uncertainty about Isaac health after the sudden appearance of growths on his neck. Since first September there have been several consultations with Doctors. Isaac also had a 19 day deputation to UK. trip in the midst of it.
There have been many difficult days and long nights but we were sustained and uplifted by the Word of God. The prayers of the saints have encouraged us to persevere. Your notes, phone calls, SMS, posting on FB, visits and enquiring about Isaac’s health have been deeply appreciated. The promises you gave us from the Word of God has been our daily bread. We have felt so much loved and taken care of.
The following new song of Johnny Parks and Claire Hamilton sung by Robin Mark was a gift from the Lord for us during this time:
All is Well
He lowers us to raise us
So we can sin g his praises
Whatever is his way all is well
He makes us rich and poor
That we might trust him more
Whatever is his way all is well
All my changes come from him he who never changes
I’m held firm in the grasp of the Rock of all the agesAll is well with my soul
He is God in control
I know not all his plans
But I know I’m in his hands
He cloths us now then strips us
Yet with His Word equips us
Whatever is his way all is well
And though our seasons change
We still exalt his name
Whatever is his way all is well
We will need your continued prayers for
1. Complete healing of Isaac as he takes this year long treatment with drugs.
2. That there will be no adverse side effects of the drugs.
3. For the family, work and church as they adjust to Isaac’s health situation.
With grateful hearts,
Gloria, Gloria Jr., Myriam, Sarah and Isaac Jr.
