Help Chris Padgett as he recovers

Many of you already know Chris Padgett. You may have seen him speak in your diocese or at a conference. Some of you have been scarred for life by Chris, but most of us have been inspired and had our faith enriched through his incredible humor, deep faith, and authentic witness.

Chris is currently in the hospital and will need major heart surgery to replace a failed valve. His condition is very serious. We first and foremost ask for your prayers for him and his family. The next few days will be critical for him.

As you know, Chris has been an incredible missionary disciple, sharing his faith with thousands in every corner of the United States and beyond. It is his full-time job/ministry and primary source of income for his family. His wife, 9 children, and granddaughter rely on Chris and his income. For the next two months or so he will not be able to travel thus eliminating the majority of his income. It is typically one of the busiest times of his year.

Chris has shared so much, and now we need to lift him and his family up in prayer and help them get through this rough time financially. Please be generous. He has been so generous, freely sharing his life and faith with us.

Please share this with everyone you know. We are hoping to raise the majority of the funds in the next 48-72 hours so that Chris can have some peace as he prepares for surgery. Don't delay!!
