With LWMS’s Befriend a Mission program oftentimes we have the privilege of rejoicing over and sharing successes for the mission. But we all know there are bumps in the road, hurdles along the way, and sometimes life takes a major turn. This is one of those times for our Rock River Circuit BAM, Jeremy Seeger, of the Asia-Oceania Team. Please join us in praying for Jeremy, his wife, Grace, and their family during this difficult time.
Prayers are needed for a member of our World Mission family. Missionary Jeremy Seeger from the Asia-Oceania Team shares:
“My wife, Grace, was officially diagnosed with stage IV cancer. There is no stage V. I take comfort in knowing our God is an ‘unreasonable’ God:
‘Gideon, why take 22,000 men when I can do it with 300?’
‘Hezekiah, why even lead your army out against 145,000 Assyrians. I’ll take care of it.’
‘David, you don’t need armor to face Goliath.’
God demonstrates his power when the outcome is the most unreasonable. Stage I or II, the doctors may treat this and plan and hope for reasonable outcomes. The credit may be given to doctors and modern medicine. Stage IV is a set up for a miracle, it’s a set up for an unreasonable outcome. And I rejoice that we have a God of unreasonable outcomes! Regardless of the outcome in the months and years ahead we remain confident in God's magnificent love for our family. His name will be glorified through this all.”
A prayer from World Missions Administrator Larry Schlomer:
Dear Lord Jesus, we bow before you today with hurting hearts. Our dear sister, Grace, has received news about her health that has pierced the hearts of her family and friends. We need the mercy and peace that only you can bring. Reassure Grace, Jeremy, and their precious children with hope that your promises establish beyond a doubt. You overcame death with an indisputable display of power when you rose from the grave. You have promised to bring us to live with you forever. We ask you to cover Grace and her family with that power now. If it is your will, bring miraculous healing to her body. If it is your will to gather Grace to your heavenly embrace, bring miraculous peace and comfort to the hearts and minds of all who love her dearly. Risen Lord, reassure all who hear this news that your love never fails, that your promises stand and that eternal life is sure because you have saved us. In your precious name we pray. Amen.
