David Woelk Update - January 2013

Dear Family and Friends:

How are you? I hope that God is doing as many wonderful things in your life as He is in mine. I am having a wonderful year at Millar College of the Bible, and feeling God's will to do more for the world around me.

I want to share with you a challenging ministry opportunity that God has presented to me. 

    Back in 2012, Thursday June 28^th, David Woelk fell and hit his head on the ground from a BMX bike accident.  After emergency brain surgery, David lost his left eye, some brain tissue, and a vast portion of his skull just behind the left temple.  He is currently living in Swift Current at the Palliser, a home for those needing living assistance.  David is two or three years younger than me. His progress has been minimal, but seeing David I am moved with compassion.  He is not able to talk, walk or even sit up, but he is able to understand a bit. He can play the game “Trouble”, and greet you with a handshake, pound, or high-five. God has placed David on my heart, and I believe David’s condition can improve.

    I want to raise support to help provide for David’s family medical and living expenses.  They have a direct CIBC account to deposit into. I pray that the support raised will be enough to ease his family’s finical burdens for the upcoming skull reconstruction surgery.

Jesus’s value for life is so evident in scripture.  I love to recall when Jesus went up to the untouchable lepers, healing the “unclean”, forgiving and healing the undeserving, and He saw and cared for the forgotten people.  David and his family are non-Christian; what a ministry it would be to receive Christian love and support!

      First, you can help pray for David, that God would ultimately be healer, working through the doctors and nurses to help him progress, so one day David can talk and walk again.  I do believe we should pray according to God’s will, but I also believe our God is great, and we can pray for Big things! So don’t hesitate to ask God for healing!  Remember to pray for David’s family and friends who have been affected by the accident.  Pray that God will minister to their hearts, show the truth of His son being they are a non-Christian family, and aid their difficult journey with David’s condition. Pray that God will provide the Woelk’s financial needs for their life supporting David, and bring more Christian people to walk alongside the Woelks.

Another way you can be involved is to help provide that financial support. Would you consider supporting David with a small donation? The David Woelk direct fund is: CIBC, Account # 7580339, and Transit # 00198. For more information on David’s journey and progress you can email me, or visit the Facebook page: David Woelk and Family Assistance Fund.

Whether you feel led to contribute financially, through prayer, or both, all of your support is appreciated.

Thank you and God Bless!
