Jack Hayford Reports Anna’s Cancer Is Responding Well, But We Still Must Intercede

With all the bad news in the world, it’s nice to get a praise report like the one I received from my friend and mentor, Pastor Jack Hayford in the newsletter below.

We’d been praying for his wife, Anna, who learned on March 4 she had pancreatic cancer after she began having significant abdominal pain.  Doctors said she had as little as four months and maybe up to a year to live.

That was just less than six months ago. She’s had some intensive chemotherapy since. But as Pastor Hayford shares in his own words, her energy is still good and she’s not enduring a lot of pain–which is usually expected with this type of cancer.

A few days ago, the Hayfords sent the newsletter to some leaders with The King’s University, the Church of the Foursquare Gospel Pastoral list and also to a list of people at Church on the Way. I got a copy and realized others in the wider Christian community would want to get this excellent report, and also to pray.

Next Monday Anna begins another round of chemotherapy. She needs our prayers. She isn’t totally out of danger yet. In fact, she will get a CAT scan, which will tell the doctors what is happening with the cancer.

I consider it a miracle she is doing this well. When I called Pastor Hayford about this column, she answered the phone and, to me, she sounded like her old self.

If you have an intercessory prayer group, please add this prayer request, so send this report to everyone you think will be interested in Pastor Hayford’s update and who also will feel led to pray for Anna.

YOU—to say to each one, “Your part in surrounding Anna with (a) a strong wall of defense, and (b) a marked sense of God’s presence and His healing grace is undoubtedly the reason that I am able to write with A POSITIVE REPORT that is becoming verified daily.”

We ALL need the Body of Christ!! The number to whom we turn is not the issue: the Lord our God “can save by many or by few!” The principle is the issue: None of us”lives or dies unto ourselves!”

May He abundantly bless, keep and prosper your way. Thank you for showing His love toward us.
