Update for Praying Friends Regarding Larry's Health

December 30, 2009 by Paul Chappell
Monday morning, December 28th, our oldest son Larry underwent an extensive surgery which succesfully removed cancerous lymphnodes from
his body. Larry has experienced extreme pain the first few days after surgery, but the grace of God is very evident in his life. His wife Ashley has been a picture of love and grace as she has
ministered to him.
While we are now awaiting pathology reports and recommendations for follow up treatment, we appreciate and need your prayers for continued grace, complete healing and wisdom.
Our doctors are positive in their comments about Larrys prognosis, and we continue to put our trust in God our creator and sustainer. (Psalm 71:5)
Terrie and I are spending this week at a hotel near the hospital here in Hollywood.  Our family has been here, along with Ashleys parents since Sunday. Brother David Gibbs has been with us at the hospital all week, and a few pastors have come by to pray.
Our staff is doing an incredible job with the many responsibilities at LBC and ministries. The church has many helpers, but Larry has only one father, and I am honored to be with him.
Please pray for his pain to subside, and for God to raise him up an use him mightily. Larry is a true man of God, and he is extremely grateful for your prayers.

    Fran, Julee & I are praying for Bro. Chappell, for you pastor and your family several times a day. We are praying that Bro. Chappell’s pain will subside, and for a speedy and complete recovery.
    I believe God is using these trials to teach the church members how to love and pray for their pastor and his family. They see your family having trials like any one else and this draws our church closer to your family.

    Thank you for teaching us to pray for each other and especially for you and your family We thank you for the example you have been in our lives
    We love you and will continue to pray for you, your family and especially Bro. Chappell.

  60. Pastor
    It seems like yesterday when we were all praying for Rochelle. I do believe that I know some of the thoughts and feelings you are having right now, and I know what it is like to have someone you love in an uncertain situation. What a wonderful feeling it is, to have thousands of people praying for that person. Pastor, I’m glad that you are able to spend time with your family during this time. I also feel that we are blessed to have so many great preachers and leaders in our church that can sit in for you during times like this. Please give Larry my best.
