Roger Story's Mighty Recovery to God’s Glory

On March 22 we were told that our father, Roger Story, would need surgery to remove 2 large tumors from his brain and treatment on several other smaller tumors throughout his body. This came exactly 2 years after his very successful quadruple bypass. Prior to this, he had a very active, healthy lifestyle and continued so since his bypass surgery. But we are grateful that God orchestrated every detail and on April 2 he had a "successful surgery" according to the surgeon and staff. Praise God! God brought many Christian doctors and nurses to his side. He talks about all the God appointed fellowship and prayer that was had while in the hospital. We have heard from God many times in the last weeks that God’s Glory will be seen with human eyes through this journey. We have already seen miracles with a successful surgery and positive recovery thus far. Roger begins targeted, laser radiation treatment on April 10 and is prayerfully seeking God’s wisdom for further treatments to come.

These unexpected events have brought many new needs above and beyond the everyday financial needs of a faith-based ministry, missionary life. Our parents, Roger and Lin, have served in ministry for over 50 years, both locally and abroad. They have served almost 30 years in Washington, DC as missionaries, serving in miraculous ways to our country with the leading of the Holy Spirit. They love others so well and are always giving of their creativity, talent, time and ministry as the Holy Spirit leads. Even in the hospital our father had countless opportunities to minister God’s great love to endless nurses and doctors. One doctor told Roger that he had made a very big impact on the hospital staff and teams serving him. Now is a time of recovery and healing. It is also a time for others to stand in the gap in prayer and also financial support, as many do faithfully. We are so grateful for faithful family, supporters, and friends that have given so selflessly already and have prayed so fervently with us. This is just the beginning! We believe with a child like faith and pray boldly for God to reveal His glory through the testimony that is unfolding in Roger’s life and our family. Thank you for considering a gift of any amount to help alleviate much burden and help to further their physical recovery so they can continue to minister at full capacity as they are called. Your generous donations will cover many uncovered medical expenses, copays, transportation to and from treatments, a new mechanical chair, healthy food, and any other daily needs that may occur.
