Great Sunday
"...Lord, it is nothing with Thee to help, whether with many, or with them that have no power..." 2 Chronicles 14:11
We had an awesome day at church today. I was in awe of God and His empowering grace, experienced by both Malcom and I. Just having come off of his chemo treatment on Friday, Malcom was very weak and in pain. But the Lord specializes in helping those who are without power. He was able to stand and preach a powerful message which God used to speak to the hearts of many. Several days ago I was struggling with a respiratory virus and had started antibiotics on Friday. Scheduled to sing a solo today, I really didn't know if I could. But with God's enabling, the song was there! It is so humbling to be used of God even in our times of weakness.
Let me give you the latest CEA (tumor marker) figure: it is now 75.7 which is down about 30 points from the last time! This is fantastic news which indicates the chemo is working.
If you want to pray specifically for Malcom this week, pray that he will experience relief from the neuropathy. His hands and feet constantly hurt, while at the same time feel numb. He has trouble buttoning his shirt, typing on the computer, walking is painful etc. just to name a few examples. Imagine anything you do with your hands or feet...those are all painful for him. In spite of that he keeps a positive attitude and doesn't complain.

Dear Feistels,
What a blessing to hear that you were able to preach and also to sing, but also that the CEA is down, too. Praise be to God!!! Will keep the details you shared in prayer. Continued blessings to you both.

Carol and Malcom, Sunday was GREAT. We enjoy the service your song and the message. You both have been a blessing to Ken and I.
We pray for you each to be touched every day in some special way. Hope this week you both were stronger, We will see you this sunday.
