Many people have been praying for my friend and partner in ministry, Pastor Freedom Blackwell, on his path to recovery from a rare form of cancer. He had a major surgery all day yesterday, and I'm happy to report that the two surgeons who performed the procedure are confident that they were able to remove all of the cancer in his leg. Praise God!
Freedom is still not out of the water yet, so please continue to lift him up in prayer. He will be in the hospital for about a week, and then he is going to have at least three or four months of intense physical therapy. He may also have some follow up treatments which may include radiation or more chemotherapy, depending on where the doctors determine that the cancer originated from.
I was able to spend some good time with Freedom and his wife, Free, at the hospital this morning. They are very encouraged, and they are giving all of the glory for this recovery to God. I have been deeply impacted by the faith in Jesus that this amazing family has demonstrated over the past few months. They are truly an inspiration to many people. Their story has impacted thousands of people with the hope that can be found when we put our trust in God.
A lot of people have asked me how they can support Freedom through this ordeal. Please continue to pray for him and his recovery. Also, he LOVES the hundreds of cards and personal notes of encouragement that he has received. Please continue to write those notes of encouragement for him. If you are in the Pittsburgh area, you can drop those notes off or put them in the offering baskets at any of our North Way locations, and I will personally deliver them to him. I know he really appreciates all of the support.
