Woody Um and Daniel Hampton at Emory Hospital

Woody Um’s trip to Emory Hospital to visit his friend Daniel Hampton, a 27-year old who’s battling leukemia, brought unexpected encouragement and a quick reassessment of life’s priorities. “God will never put more into my life than what I can handle through Christ” Daniel assured Woody. Although the challenges Daniel faces are immense, Jesus Himself has promised, “I will never leave you, nor forsake you. So we may boldly say, The LORD is my helper and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.” Hebrews 13:5-6.

Please join us in praying for Daniel and his wife Crystal during this difficult time in their lives. “May the LORD bless you and keep you; may His face shine upon you, and be gracious unto you; May He lift up His countenance upon you (Daniel & Crystal), and give you His peace.”

Daniel at rest during treatment for leukemia

1) for personal and family integrity before the LORD and His Church,
2) for spiritual growth for our children (and their parents),
3) for effective ministry to missionary children like ours at HOPE International School in Phnom Penh,
4) for fruitful relationships with expatriate and indigenous Christians in a local church and a church planting movement.
