The pathology report on Matt Chandler, lead pastor of The Village Church, has been received and the church has released a statement:
On Tuesday, Dr. Barnett informed Matt and Lauren that the findings of the pathology report revealed a malignant brain tumor that was not encapsulated. The surgery to remove the tumor, the doctor said, was an extremely positive first step; however, because of the nature of the tumor, he was not able to remove all of it.
They request specific prayer for the following:
- Wisdom for all the coming decisions
- Strength and peace to endure
- The kids’ (Audrey, Reid and Norah) hearts; pray the Lord is merciful as they process and that their little hearts do not grow embittered
- The Chandlers and The Village would suffer well because of the gospel and for the sake of Christ’s name
“God is most glorified, most seen as most powerful, most worthy, when everything’s gone wrong, and He’s enough. When everything has gone wrong, and He sustains us…..I’m saying that through the deepest possible pain, through tears streaming down our face, that God is enough.” - Matt Chandler
