Tough End to the Year
It was right after this outing that I got stomped on and ended up in the hospital… again.
From a spiritual perspective, I think, it was hugely successful. We made inroads like we have not before, and I do not not think that the principalities and powers appreciated it much.
I spent about 3 weeks out of the last 2 months in the hospital with infections and other complications. It wasn't pretty.
If you’ve thought about supporting a ministry in 2026 this portal is safe, timely, and trusted by us as we have been using it for over a decade. You would be helping our flourishing mission work AND our health needs.
In the coming days, I will have two MRI scans to see if I'm eligible for a liver stint to help drain liver bile properly and a 'tumor progression' (hopefully not) scan. We will update you all as soon as possible with the results.
We are ever grateful for your prayer and financial support this past year.
There is so much opportunity opening up for ministry in our area, and we will be as faithful as we can in executing it with grace and kindness. Much of this depends on my condition on any given day.
Give a small amount, a large amount, or start a monthly recurring donation for 2026.
With much love,
Miguel, Lauren, and Kate
As many of you know, we've been through it this past 3+ years. Pain and discomfort, diagnosis, cancer detected, unbelievable insurance and medical bureaucracy to navigate, 4 surgeries, chemo, and last year's a 20 hour surgery which was supposed to be curative.
There have been many challenges in and around all of these to include physical, mental, spiritual, and financial. It's been a tough road.
We are thankful for all of you that have donated generously to keeping Miguel alive. We mean it. We have known more than a few here who have passed because they couldn't afford to pay for treatment etc.
Our current 'challenges,' are facing life-long chemo, gaining weight, building muscle, avoiding cachexia (wasting disease), autism induced by, or brought more to the surface by surgeries, chemo, and other treatments, and navigating life with 3-4 monthly appointments, travel, etc.
Miguel is able to keep his weight at its present level, but he fluctuates by 8-10 pounds twice a month and that's not exactly healthy. We are currently supplementing protein powder, but, it costs about a hundred and twenty bucks per container, and lasts only a month.
If you'd like to purchase 1 or 2 containers, use this platform towards that end, or contact us via Facebook messenger for other options.
Even with many donations, we are still accumulating debt. Simply put, we can use an influx of new donations. If you are able to make a recurring monthly donation, great. If you can donate one time, awesome! If you cannot donate but can share these updates, we appreciate it greatly.
In any case, this platform is trusted and secure and we've been using it for a lot of years. You can trust that your donation will get to us safely and in a timely manner.
We Love you all.
Miguel, Lauren, and Kate.
