The end nigh – literally – please pray.

[Christian Gedge]

Hi fellow endtimers,
I’m sitting outside in my room at a cancer patients retreat on the beautiful Tongariro River. (google)
We went fishing this morning and tonight after tea will be another time of conversation about our condition.

Last night was hard to hear the stories of some of these guys because they are facing the end and they know it. Tonight I’m going to say something and I don’t care what anyone thinks. Im going to share the hope of the Christian.

Please pray.
Thanks

Will do Christian.

Currently my wife is battling breast cancer and has just finished chemotherapy and is having surgery next week. It looks hopeful and God has been good to us through it and given us peace.

Give these people hope through Jesus Christ and let them know that they have value and matter to God and that they can have peace and a blessed assurance even in these circumstances. Please tell them that people who don’t know them and will never meet them in this life love them and are praying for them.

Thanks for sharing I’m praying that God gives you courage and wisdom.

Yes, seeds. Thanks Rita.

I’m back! The retreat is called ‘Reel Recovery’ and originally started in the US. It’s free and supported by volunteers. I highly recommend it for men with cancer. Give yourselves a wonderful break.

During the day we fish with a buddy whose job it is to teach fly casting, and to hold you up when necessary. The Tongariro river is swift. After breakfast and after tea (all provided) we get together for what is called, ‘courageous conversations.’ A question is put to us and we answer in a circle.

On the first conversation the men were all bravado and funny jokes, but it wasn’t long before the true feelings started being expressed. For example, “What did you lose most after being diagnosed with cancer?” ”weakness, loss of concentration …” One guy broke down when he said he couldn’t support his wife and 7-year old son anymore.

Thanks for praying, because I couldn’t find a laid-back opening until the last day. The question was posed: “What did you GAIN most after being diagnosed with cancer?” I had my answer because the Lord had told me … ‘the Christian hope.’ So, when it was my turn, I shared:

“Look fellas, no amount of positive talking is going to change the fact that we are on the last leg of the journey. So, what I gained was this:- hope! I always knew it in theory of course, but I gained a new appreciation of it. As some of you know, Im a Christian, but I won’t preach at you. I just want to share a few words from the Master.”​

Then I quoted nice and slow.

“Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.”​

They all looked at me like I was from another planet. That’s OK, we’ve got the Holy Spirit, so He can take it from there. Thanks again for praying.

Yes let the spirit do the work after you plant the seeds. Good for you for being obedient and brave for sharing at this time in their lives.

How are you doing yourself?

Praise God for your opportunity to share with others about Him! I pray He will bless your effort and that many sons will thereby be brought into the Kingdom!

Thanks friends. I’ve still got a bit of kick left in me, but towards the end of the day my buddy was having to pull me up the bank. (lol) I’m on a trial with Pfizer. It’s better than chemo. I’ll be good for when the grandkids come over from Aus. this Christmas.

Isn‘t it wonderful being a Christian!
