Over the next months, prayers have been constantly and fervently requested for Liza and her family. They cannot thank you enough as you showered them with prayers, words of encouragement and provision. Updates on Liza’s condition were constantly posted on her Facebook page, and we witnessed the highs and lows of her journey through the Big C.

Throughout the ordeal, we have seen nothing but an example of courage and faith in Liza, praising and thanking God despite what she and the family have been going through.

That is why our hearts are filled with so much joy as we received this most recent update from Liza:

2016 is getting off to a great start for the Halbrooks! Your prayers and generosity have been such powerful instruments in helping Liza and her family. Thank you so much for believing in the power of prayer and for keeping the faith.

“This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us- whatever we ask- we know that we have what we asked of him.” (1 John 5:14-15 NIV)
