Rainald's Passing

Thank you to all those who have been praying for Rainald Feldmeier. He has recently passed away and gone home to his heavenly father. Please continue to pray for the family who are glad that his suffering is over, know where he has gone, but are missing him terribly. Pray for strength for them to carry on without him as the head of their family. Pray for those close to them to be able to support them at this time. Thank you.

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!

We had a great time. We took a heap of bibles, school supplies and sewing materials with us. Pastor Shem Tema is the head of the Vanuatu Council of Churches and he distributes the gear for us.
We are looking to send sewing machines, study bibles, bibles and study guides over in the coming months.

Feldmeier Update

Rainald is doing well. He is very fit. He has one small operation for a growth in his lung but it is not considered dangerous. All the rest of the family are doing well.
