Below is a prayer update for Pastor Santiago Lange in Stuttgart, Germany. In April, we asked for prayer for his diagnosis of advanced colon cancer.
Dear Friends,I am writing to you after receiving my fifth Chemo/Anti-body treatment on June 28. After the sixth treatment on July 12, there will be a CT scan to help determine the effectiveness of the therapy. And the next therapy steps will be determined with my oncologist on July 25.
The chemo/anti-body therapies pack a heavy punch, with side effects like skin rashes with water blisters, mouth sores and dryness, pain, weight loss, and weakness. I am glad to be able to share that my [pressure] wounds continue to heal nicely. After some losses I have been able to gain weight, but I would joyfully welcome another 13-16 kg.
I am every day deeply thankful for your partnering support as our family goes through this health crisis. I pray that the Lord may bless your kindness a hundredfold.
Every blessing,Santiago

Thank you for updating all of your friends and church family. May God bless you with a good appetite during your rigorous, but necessary, therapies.
Thank you Ken for incuding us in your prayers. These “spiritual incense offerings” mean a lot to me.
Praying for you, recalling your love for so many.
And I gratefully recall your support for our German mission while serving on our denominational Board.
Thanks for the update — I do hope you receive good news from the oncologist on the 25th. You have been so kind and so faithful in praying for so many of us in the past that it is a joy to pray for you in return. God bless you a hundredfold!
I consider it a great honor and privilege to be able to intercede for others before our heavenly Father through the Lord Jesus. I could do no less. I am humbled by your words. Be blessed my brother!!!
Santiago, praying for divine healing and God’s miraculous intervention to resolve your advanced colon cancer with the miserable side effects of the chemo/anti-body therapies. Jesus said, “I am with you always” (Matthew 28:20)
Thank you David for your prayers. I would like to use this opportunity to thank you for the helpful articles you have written, some of which have appeared in Nachfolge, our German magazine.
Santiago, thank you for your long time example of always focusing on the love of God and gratitude to Him in the midst of challenges and hardships. I am amazed at how you two have continually illustrated such vitality and warmth in your numerous uplifting comments and posts. Thank you and know you have many others who are thinking of you both during this very challenging time. All God’s best.
Tom,
I much appreciate your prayers and outpouring love. I miss being able to meet with so many of my brothers and sisters in the ministry. And that, my brother, does include you. My life is in the Lord’s hands and in Him I put my trust. Thank you for walking along this journey with me.
I’m lifting you up in prayer my dear friend and brother in Christ. May God continue to strengthen you with his power, his might and his love.
