Please Email Some Encouragement: Ian Lyons

Would you take a minute to email some encouragement (note, prayer, scripture, well wish, etc.) to the Ian Lyons family?

Here's a snapshot of the request:

Ian is a bright and active 13 year old boy, the 6th of 7 children. He has 4 brothers and 2 sisters. He loves soccer and video games and reading. And he has a very aggressive form of cancer, Aveolar Rhabdomyosarcoma.

His family is a blessing - their faith is inspiring through the storm they are in right now!

And an excerpt from their latest post:

Today Ian showed responsiveness and core strength that we’ve not seen in weeks. At times his eyes would follow people speaking to him. At one point he sat up in a chair without leaning back for several minutes. At another point Renee was reviewing God’s promises with him, and when she went to change a music CD he grabbed her hand and would not let go. His immune system is even more depleted today, so no visitors yet. Now it looks like next Tuesday before we’ll be able to bring him home. Thanks to those who are writing and calling encouragement to Ian. It helps! Please pray for wisdom regarding my roles as my team is gathering from around the world to meet all next week.

Wow, Ian's family is one of the missionaires we support at our church here in Blacksburg, VA and we have been praying fiercely for him over here and so it was such a pleasnt surprise to see him here on your blog! They are an amazing family and used to go to our church long ago before they moved to CO-and Ian's story has been amazing. We pray for him weekly at our small group-thanks for listing him on here!
