Pray for Matt Chandler, his wife Lauren, their children Audrey, Reid, and Norah, and the 6000 people at The Village Church in Dallas. As you probably know, Matt had a seizure on Thanksgiving. Then on December 4 surgeons removed a tumor from the frontal lobe of his brain. Now this update:
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.
Matt, who is being released from the hospital today, is meeting with a neuro-oncologist this week to outline the next steps of the recovery process. There is a range of treatment possibilities but the exact course of action has not yet been determined. He will continue outpatient rehab.
Here’s an article in Christianity Today that explains more of the story, along with some good links to Matt’s comments leading up to surgery.
Here’s the most recent update with prayer requests from the Village Church as posted on Between Two Worlds.
Here is message from Matt:
Thanks Matt, for continuing to teach us and point us to Christ, even through some of the hardest times. We are all praying for you and your family and The Village Church. May God be glorified!
Chris White
