Last year in January, dr. LaRondelle asked me to proofread his latest book on Theology in Christianity. I spend the most of January to pay attention to his writings and sent the corrected parts to him back. He was always grateful and thankful for it.

This year, while on holiday in South Africa, I received a message from him:

Dear BR koot: i am now in a 6 week treatment for cancer in the Sarasota Mem Hospital, FL

Suddenly I was attacked by an agressive anaplastic thyroid tumor.

My prospects are dim.

My famil;y is daily with me here.

On 2/18 I may know the result of the chemo and radiation therapy.

Keep me in your prayers, p-lease.

Your friend in the LORD Jesus,

Hans LaRondelle

Dear dr. Larondelle

I am now at my father's home for holiday in Vryheid South Africa.

My father (80) has also cancer of the glands behind the lung.

My father's sister (75) here also has cancer of the lung due to asbestosis. Her husband worked at a asbestos mine.

My father's other sister (77) here also has cancer of the breast.

My father got chemo therapy and will start Monday with radiation therapy.

Prof. dr. Jordaan let him have every two weeks chemo if his blood count is good enough. He will get radiation shots on the spots for 28 times about 7 times a week. Treatment is stretched out over a month.

My father's appetite returned and he worked today in the kitchen fixing taps. His age is 80.

My other aunt came back yesterday from radiation shots. Jordaan said she can go home since he cannot find any cancer in her.

My other aunt is well since she is using chemo pills for her cancer.

Prof. Jordaan said he healed his mother who was 92 years old from cancer. So far, all three of them are doing fine and look good and normal.

They are drinking a lot of ice water.

They are active and exercise a lot.

They have a positive mind since Proverbs tells us that a positive mind about our God Creator is healing for the body.

Prayer

From the earth goes up

our prayers to You

O God of our salvation.

To reach out and touch

our dear teacher's body

and heal his system from the monster cancer

designed by Satan to burden our physical, mental and spiritual powers.

You know very well the prophetic chart and the Timing

You know very well what is best for all of us

You also know the work our teacher is doing for You

Our heartfelt plea is that you restore him

restore him to his work for You

And if we are but blind to see with perspective

the broader picture of the Time now

Then accept our human frailty

insisting for something that is against

Your well being and thought.

Is our prayer on his behalf

Amen

Thank you deeply dear Br Koot!
