What if I had cancer? What if I were young, joyfully serving the Lord on the mission field (for 11 years already!) with my husband and three boys,.... and found out I had cancer? I mean, why couldn't it happen to me?
Ladies, my friend Sheila Campbell is going through such a battle today. She was diagnosed with Stage 4 Lymphoma cancer, and had to come off of her beloved field of the Philippines to undergo treatments.
A card shower has been started for Sheila, and I would like to ask you to get involved. Please send a word of encouragement to Sheila and her precious family at this address:
Sheila Campbell
204 King James Rd.
Upper Marlboro, MD 20774
If you can, tuck a little gift card, gas card, or check into your card to help this sweet family with their expenses. And, send those sweet boys (Zachary, Timmy, and Wesley) some love too!
Sheila and her husband graduated from the same Bible college that hubby and I graduated from. When I was in high school, she sweetly worked as a secretary for our school principal.
Hubby and I will be working with our kids to send our cards this week. Won't you join us?
I will join. Praying for your dear friend...
ReplyDeleteI will be sending her something and I will get my son to send something for the boys.
ReplyDeleteI have a personal friend who has breast cancer and also lost her husband while working on the field in the Philippines. I do not understand but do not question God cause he is WONDERFUL>

Hi, Jolene! Max and I are already praying for her and working on sending something to her family. Thanks for posting this; I will be posting something similar on my blog. I hope you don't mind if I add a link to your post at the end of mine.
