Dear friends and family,
The past several days have been really hard with how much energy and mobility I have lost. Today was different! I give all praise and glory to Our Father for the healing he is doing in my body. Instead of writing, I’ve recorded a 6 minute update. Thank you for praying!
Glad you are functioning better and your pain reduced. May God do a mighty work in your body!
What a great testimony Chris – and you’re right, attire is the least of your worries thee days! Such good news that God is meeting you in the midst of your suffering, that the Prednisone is working, that the elders came and did what they’re called to do. Praying for you and Becca as you walk with your kids in this trial – that you would all be built up in Father’s love and care for you – He is with you! Praying your first chemo treatment is effective and that the lymphoma is knocked out – by His blood we are healed and so I pray that healing to be released in your body!
Praying for you. Praising God for some relief.
It was wonderful to listen to your video and hear that you’re feeling stronger. Cheering you on and praying for your healing.
So grateful to see and hear you for this update Chris — grateful for the power of prayer and the benefits of steroids you are starting to experience! Continuing to pray!!
Chris, it’s SO good to see you and hear your voice! Please don’t wear yourself out making videos for us though. But this time it was such a blessing, like being with you for a minute! Uncle Dennis and I pray for you daily, our kids and our church are also praying for you and the whole family. Praying you through the next steps in your treatment.
We love you!

Chris, it’s great to hear your voice and greater to hear that you’re believing for His healing upon your body. I wish to say that as I’ve been praying for you, I do believe along with you for the healing and total recovery. What He has started in your body, He will bring it to completion. Our God has the final say, whatever the prognosis from a very appreciated medical team. Upholding you daily.

Guide me O, thou great Jehovah, pilgrim through this barren land.
I am weak, but thou art, mighty, hold me with my powerful hand.
Isaiah 35:3-5
Strengthen the weak hands,
and make firm the feeble knees.
Say to those who have an anxious heart,
“Be strong; fear not!
Behold, your God
will come with vengeance,
with the recompense of God.
He will come and save you.”
We are trusting Him to be your strength and your shield.
Chris,

Woke up this morning with the song He won’t Fail running through my head as I opened up to see your post! He won’t! Whispering your names in the Throne room of Papa!
Thank you for your faith-building, God centered posts… both of you have a wonderful gift of communicating trust in Jesus even in the midst of this gale-force storm of life. Praying Psalm 112:7-8 over you all…

Hi, Chris — I am a type designer in WSTech, so we haven’t crossed paths directly, though your name is certainly familiar to me. Maybe we’ve met? Can’t say for sure…no matter. But I’ve been tracking these updates and praying for you and your family since Mike Cochran sent out the initial urgent request for prayer several weeks ago now. May our Lord continue to surround you with His peace, fill you with His grace, and strengthen you for this unexpected journey. And you just keep on wearing whatever you want! 😀
Wonderful video, Chris! How great to see you and hear your voice! I’m so glad to hear that you’ve been well supported. So, chemo next Monday. I will be praying. . Love you!!
SO SO happy to get this report and see and hear you, Chris! We’re praying too!!
So glad to see you are feeling better. Praying for you and Becca
Psalm 77:14 ” Lord, I praise You because you are the God who performs miracles; you display your power among the peoples.” I am sure Chris and Becca our wonderful, loving, providing, caring Lord will use this for His glory. That is also my prayer for you.
Our daily prayers are with you as you take this cancer journey. What a great host of prayer warriors you have to lift you up before the Lord.
Rick and I co tinge to pray for God’s healing in your body. We are thankful for good days for you!
