We visited “Jan” and her husband, whose cancer is slowly staking claim to his increasingly-frail body. We’ve been through so much with this family over the past decade and spending time with a man who’s been a sort of ‘uncle’ to our kids was important. The evening was rich with laughter, tears, food, storytelling and a lot of gosple-centred, pure-Love-inspired intercessions for one of the harder and more stubborn North African men we’ve known. Yet here I was, right next to him on his floor mattress while the traditional living room swarmed with dozens of others who love him… his own dear family and colleagues we’ve introduced them to over the years. The conversations we’ve had over the past year have been sweeter than we ever imagined possible. Please ask that “Justin” turn to Jesus or be healed… or BOTH(!!) in the coming months. They are hopeful but realistic. He is very unwell.
