Amen and amen. Well, good morning and welcome. Wow, you guys are a perky group this morning.

I was back there joining with you, but I can't do the Chi Wu like you. So anyway, it's just going to have to do.

You can be seated. Welcome. We're so glad that you're here. Those of you online, we're glad that you're joining with us. Before we get started, though, I do want to let you know that our prayer meeting is this Tuesday, September 2nd, and especially those of you online, note the start time of 7 p.m. Hawaii time not 7.30.

Lord willing, as I mentioned on Thursday, I'll be doing a teaching titled praying in and through

pain and suffering, which was birthed over the last month and a half or so.

As you by now know, many of you, my wife Kelly has been battling a very aggressively

spreading form of cancer for the last two years now. And several people, of course, have been requesting an update.

And we were waiting on the Lord for the right time

to provide that update, and that time is now.

Kelly and I knew and decided it was time to update you,

but also expressed to you our profound gratitude for all the,

I mean, just overwhelming love and support and more importantly prayer.

So here it is. After numerous trips to the hospital over the last month

and a half we learned and knew that the cancer had and still is swiftly spreading

so much so that we also learned that it had spread throughout her brain,

which in the medical world means she's stage four, incurable, and terminal.

Absent and unmistakable, unquestionable, and supernatural miracle from our God and great physician

as the God who heals, which we continue by faith to petition the throne for. Absent that,

it seems that Kelly's probably going to go home to be with the

Lord soon. As such, we've opted for in-home, end of life, comfort care as we continue

in prayer, mainly for relief from the excruciating pain please

know I hope you know that we're not seeking pity only prayer now I didn't
