Prayer request from the wife of of one Gateway's Board members:

"Some of you may already know some of this, but not all, so please bare with me. My Mom has been in the hospital for testing this week. The tests are not all in yet but the evidence is pretty clear that her cancer is back and today I was told, is pretty widely metastasized. Evidently many bones, and her liver at least. On top of the difficulties that news brings in and of itself, she is making it very clear she will not even consider any treatment. She says if its her time to go, she goes.

I wish this were a confident faith in her own salvation, but in stead it is a result of depression, loneliness, and anger. She hasn't been told yet how widely spread the cancer is. Probably tomorrow the doctors will have fuller results and a plan and then they talk to her. Please pray she will reconsider at least trying treatment. Pray the cancer is not as widespread as at first it appears.

And pray for us. This has been a very hard year. David is working full time this week thru the nursing agency, and probably will do the same next week, but then it goes back to maybe 6 hrs a week if that. Also his hours are 3-11 which means he's not here to talk to when I need him. And the kids are not taking this well.

Rob was in a VERY bad way after my Dad's death. I am concerned especially about him if Mom goes this soon and in such a difficult way. Thanks for all your concerns for us. In Christ, Karen"
