We were very grateful yesterday to meet with Dr. Jeffery Cope, a renown thoraxic surgeon. He was very encouraging and surprisingly started the conversation by saying.... "Rev. Mitchell I do not believe you have cancer!" WOW - that was surprise. We have heard through the grapevine that this guys is the :mac daddy" of heart and kung docs. A matter of fact two Sundays he was front page of the Sunday News for saving the life of a F & M Univ. professor!! He was gracious to make it possible for me to go in on Monday March 10th at 5:45AM and have the biopsy. Even better news is that it will be out patient. So we would continue to covet your prayers. God's sovereignty is every where. The reports from Veit Nam is that the pollution and humidity are at an all time high. Those conditions with my lungs the way they are would have landed me in the hopsital in Ho Chin Minh City for sure. Thank you Lord. In addition, the Sunday that I would have been in Japan - I was home preaching on James 1 and overcoming temptation. In the service was a young person who really needed to hear what God laid on my heart. In addition, being home I have been able to assist our church planter with the launch of our new church plant. His ways are certainly higher then our ways! I am so thankful that God controls every move and with eternal purposes behind everything He does. Until next week, pray and wait and watch - Psalm 5. JM
