Team Gary!

Prayer warrior, family friend, and financial supporter of our ministry in Colorado is in need of a strong team of prayer warriors of his own. Gary East of Huntsville, Alabama has been diagnosed with advanced pancreatic cancer in the past couple of weeks. He has begun a super potent chemotherapy regimen that will continue twice a week for 12 weeks. Devastating diagnosis for him and his wife, as well as extended family, including our friends Matt and Emily Eckley of www.eckley.blogspot.com (Emily is Gary's daughter). You can read Gary's story and get updates at www.caringbridge.org/visit/GaryEast and we would love to have you join us and others around the globe as we pray for healing, pain relief, courage, stamina, strength, and rest for Gary. You can join Team Gary through simple acts of daily prayer. Take it a step further and make a simple Team Gary sign and send in a photo to theeckleys@aol.com. Details about "Where in the World is Team Gary?" and all submitted photos can be found at www.teamgary.blogspot.com. These prayers and pictures will be such an encouragement to this family, even if you don't know them personally! Lets be the church universal and pray big, believing, and submit lots of photos.

"I lift my eyes up to the hills. Where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, maker of Heaven and Earth." Psalm 121:1-2
"Higher than the mountains that I face, stronger than the power of the grave, constant in the trials and the change, this one thing remains...Your love never fails, never gives up, never runs out on me. On and on and on and on it goes. And it overwhelms and satisfies my soul. And I never ever have to be afraid, because this one thing remains...Your love never fails, never gives up, never runs out on me!"
Praying as a small part of team Gary, from the "highest of heights"! We love y'all!

Thank you, dear sweet friends, for sharing in your blog about our journey. The love, encouragement, & support from family & friends is immeasurable. Corrie ten Boom said, "Every experience God gives us is the perfect preparation for the future that only He sees." And, from Psalm 33:22: "May your unfailing love rest upon us, O LORD, even as we put our hope in you." Love, Gary & Ann
