Latest Feldmeier Update

Here is an abbreviated version of the last update i received. Please keep them in your prayers.

Well, our family is in a battle again.

Rainald's cancer is back, 8 weeks after we got the all clear! Boy... does Satan know how to wage war. Yes... it was a shock Rainald hadn't been feeling so great, with stomach troubles. But he had just climbed a mountain, flown to Germany for three weeks and we thought it may have had been travel stress. However, the latest scan revealed cancer in his lungs, liver and lymphatic system once again.
(The treatment options were listed here. They have decided not to have chemo and go the alternative route).
This future spoken by a man can be easily overwritten by a God who made Rainald. Naturally, we are praying for his healing, the children and I desperately don't want to see him go home to glory, and neither does countless other friends and family who love him dearly. However, we also have to realise that all of us are only here for a short while and any day could be our last. We don't know God's plan, therefore we can only rest in the knowing that He has our lives in His hands.
Jeremiah 29:11 - For I know the thoughts and plans I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome.
So, with these last words I ask you to talk to our heavenly father and ask him for His best outcome in the Feldmeiers lives. If he should heal Rainald then heal Him but if not ,then strengthen all of us to continue to follow our saviour and have His peace that passes all understanding (Phillipians 4:7).
Also, contiune to pray that God will strengthen Rainald's spirit to fight as he is very weak and finds all of the tonics difficult to take. Talking plainly he is getting tired!

Hi, I am a schoolfriend of Rainald. We were at the Kerschensteinerschule in Feuerbach. I read your update and I was shocked. Do you have an email from Rainald? I would like to write him. Sorry, my English is not very good. If Rainald wants to know who I am: My name was Renate Weber, I was a tall girl, and very thin. I was very quiet and bashful.
Please send him many greetings and the best wishes.
Renate
