Update from Robin

Here's the latest update from the Yu family on Melissa's condition. Thank you so much for all your prayers and support - the family really appreciates it!

As I mentioned earlier, there are several ways you can assist in helping, if you are able.

Pray, pray, pray for Melissa, for the parents for renewed strength, faith, courage and REST (I spent a few minutes with Marlene on Wed evening - her spirits were amazing, she is a beautiful woman inside and out!); for her siblings: Maurice, Melody and Mildred that they will remain strong and understanding.
Meals - food is being arranged for 3 days a week through a local church; food is supplied through May 2, if you would like to be added to the list, please let me know. Fast food or restaurant gift cards are another way that you could help. They like both Chinese and American food and Marlene mentioned In-N-Out, Taco Bell, KFC, etc.
Financial support - You can write a check payable to Marlene Yu and mail to my home: 21 Springflower, Irvine, CA 92614 or I learned today that you can contribute through Michael's ministry for their living expenses. Here's that information:

Send checks to:
Asia Fellowship Foundation
PO Box 6207
Irvine, CA 92616
On check memo line: 'Michael Yu Living Expense'
God is good and we praise and thank him for all that he has provided for so far and all that he is doing. I thank you for caring and praying.

Thank you,
Robin

This is Robyn, Katharyn's mom (Katharyn is in Small Group with Melissa at Mariners Church). I spoke to Michael on Saturday. He shared many encouraging words about Melissa. Since her las surgery she was able to keep her eyes focused on him and respond to questions by a squeeze her hand on his. He said " She is showing us that she is strong. It is so powerful the power of prayer! Thank you for all of the prayers."

Dear Lord, Great Is Your Faithfulness.

Each morning new mercies I see.

“Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth,
Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide,
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside.” (from Psalm 89)

"For You formed my inward parts;
You covered me in my mother's womb.
I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Marvelous are Your works,
And that my soul knows very well.
My frame was not hidden from You,
When I was made in secret,
And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed.
And in Your book they all were written,
The days fashioned for me,
When as yet there were none of them" (Psalm 139)


Dear Lord, will you look upon Melissa Yu and touch her body and work through the hands of her physicians to guide them to what you want them to accomplish and to heal her completely, making her whole?

"Is anything too hard for the Lord?" (Gen. 18:14)

"There is nothing too hard for thee" (Jer. 32:17)
"I am the Lord, the God of all flesh." "Is anything too hard for me?"

Lord we rest in your promises "for all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us." (II Corinthians 1:20)

...and we give God the glory for the work He will do in Melissa...we thank you and praise you and lift up your Name. May it be known that by the Name of Jesus, this healing has and will occur and may many be brought to our Lord as a result.

In His Name we pray and thank you Lord. Amen.
