Manila, Philippines:  Many of you have been following along as one of our long-time staff and members of the Philippine team has been battling an inoperable B-Cell Lymphoma.

Liza Halbrook has been walking this journey with incredible Faith, knowing that she rests in God’s hand.  She has been an inspiration to so many.

When the scope of the tumor and the incredible amount of money necessary to treat it was first made known,  Nearly $4,000 USD every 21 days, it seemed like an insurmountable hurdle.

Then came the hope that she was going to be entered into a trial treatment program, which would cover all of her medicine expenses.  Shortly thereafter came the news that her tumor was progressing too rapidly and the program would not be ready in time for her.

Her husband Brooks has been working through every possible approach to treatment, and many around the world have been praying.

Brooks sent the following praise today, “We are praising God for what He gave us today.  I was able to get from Government Charity, the medicine Rituximab that we needed for Liza.  One session amounting to 100,000 Php in total (roughly $2,300 USD). “

Please continue to keep the Halbrook family in your prayers!
