I am sure many of you have heard about James Christopher. I know I knew about him years before actually meeting them. Well this year, James Christopher's little brother, Jon Thomas, is in my class, and I have had the HONOR of getting to know this most precious family. And it really has been an honor. They are simply amazing. James Christopher has a rare disease, and he is currently in bone marrow failure. They have been searching for I think 3 years for a match, and still haven't been able to find one. I am sure most of you reading this have become a bone marrow donor between either James Christopher or Jason Weathers. But if you haven't I ask that you do. You can read James Christopher's story at jcallums.com, or Jason's here.
Now for the prayer requests. They have just found out that James Christopher's little brother, Jon Thomas, and little sister, Caroline may also have this disease. They were told originally that they did not, but now are not so sure. PRAY that they are wrong, and neither one of them have this disease. This disease's life expectancy is around 20 years old. This family could possibly have all three of their children with this disease. I ask that you pray Caroline and Jon Thomas are free from this disease. Thank God today for your healthy children, and please pray that they find a bone marrow match for James Christopher and Jon Thomas and Caroline do not have this disease. Thanks for taking the time to pray.

I can't get to the blog. I know Jason's but the other one won't link. Will you let me know what it is so I can read it? I will be praying for them!
Thank you for telling us, Robin. I'll certainly be praying for this family. Susan
