PLEASE PRAY FOR ALEX

some of you know that while we were in Australia we became very good friends with a couple named Jamie & Jess. like us, they had sensed the Lord calling them to the Byron Bay area, all the way from Fort Wayne, Indiana (with three kids in tow). a short time after arriving, Jamie was diagnosed with leukemia. he died a few months later, just after Jamie & Jess' 10 year anniversary. we were back in the States by then and it was torturous not to be there for them during that time. Jess and the kids returned home to the States and we were able to attend Jamie's memorial service in Fort Wayne.

since then, Jess has been remarried and their family now lives in Chicago. but their life has now taken another unbelievable turn. their oldest son, Alex (12, i believe) has just been diagnosed with leukemia. this is supposedly not something that is passed down and the doctors are shocked. he barely had any symptoms. he has begun chemo and his sister and brother, Halie and Sam, are going to be tested as possible bone marrow donors for Alex. would you PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE pray for them, and pray for a miracle.
