Calling out for prayer

Dear family and friends,
This afternoon we received the news from LA that Sandy's brother, Keith had been diagnosed with Stevens-Johnson Syndrome. It is a very rare case of allergic reaction that causes skin to deteriorate. We were informed that mortality rate could be as high as 80% depending on the degree of the skin loss. As of now, we have learned that Keith has lost all of his skin, and is in ICU waiting for a surgery. Tomorrow, they are planning to engraft imitation skin over his body so that it will prevent any infection until his natural skin can regenerate.

We believe in the power of prayer. We realize that this is an opportunity for us to see God move through our prayer. Through all the trials we have seen around us, God is gathering His saints to pray so that He can reveal His love and glory to us. We have already been so encouraged by many of you who are fasting and praying for our family. We will be driving down to LA tomorrow. We are at peace knowing that Keith is in good hand. May God receive all glory, honor and praise!

With a very grateful heart,

Ted, Sandy, Abigail and Isabel
