My Dear Friends:
I wanted to take this time to thank you for all your love and care. Each and everyone of you mean so much to Jan & Me.
I am not sure who will be reading this but I know the Lord will touch the ones he wants to.
May I tell you a little story. Last Year was one of the best years of my whole life. We saw thousands healed, saved and delivered. After preaching in Washington, Oregon, California, Mexico, Texas, New York and Oklahoma I had noticed we had been on the road for almost 8 months.
By the Time I got home I was tired. We finished the year by going into the inner city and help give about 10,000 toys away to needy children for Christmas. You should have seen their faces.
In January I noticed I was real tired so I went to the Doctors to see what was up. I was not prepared for the news.
He said I had.
1: Cancer and it had to be operated on now.
2: Diabetes sugar levels over 400
3: High Blood pressure 195/100
He did a biopsy.
It is cancer
One of the complications is getting a fever which I have now.
I am sorry for not telling you sooner.
Please forgive me for the Pride.
I just know the Lord must be up to something wonderful this year.
So I am going to enjoy the battle and watch the victory from him
We can't do this without you so again please forgive me for not being more open sooner.
I Love you guys.
Pastor Jerry
UPDATE!
This is Steve, Jerry's son. My Dad is at Madigan Army Medical Center in Tacoma, WA. I just talked with my Dad this morning and he wanted me to give you all an update. He is not sure how long they will keep him and the list of obstacles has grown. They now are saying that he has the following: High blood pressure, Diabetes, Pneumonia, Congestive heart failure, Cancer, and an unspecified lung disease.
We still choose to believe the report of the LORD! We only post this as an update so that you know how to target your prayers on his behalf. The address to the hospital can be found at the following address:
If you would like to send him a card in the mail, please send it to the following address:
Madigan Army Medical Center
Attn: Jerry Gaffney - Ward 2 South
Tacoma, WA 98431
Thank you so much once again for all of your love, prayers, and support. We look forward to seeing the victory of the LORD in this battle!
Be blessed,
Steve Gaffney
Update #2
Jerry is going to have an angiogram on Monday, due to some problems with the heart bloodflow. I don't have any further information at this moment.
I just got off the phone with Pastor Daniel Ponce and he has agreed to get all of his prayer warriors involved as well. He has one of the best prayer warrior groups out there and is a dear friend of dad and myself.
By joining together we will have people from all over south and central America, as well as his state side church's praying as well.
Thank you all for storming the heavens with your prayers.
Sunday update:
Well I just found out that dad is going to have full blown angioplasty and not just an angiogram tomorrow. The doctor told us to be prepared for full blown open heart surgery should something go wrong, so please continue to keep Jerry in your prayers tonight and tomorrow. Obviously we don't want any complications with the surgery.
To everyone that has been praying and those who have driven all the way up to the hospital, Jerry said to say thank you. Your prayers will make a huge difference.
Monday Update:
Jerry had his angiogram today and praise the Lord it came out clear with no blockages at all. It really has the doctors baffled now trying to figure out why his bloodpressure is so high and why he has so little blood oxygen. The good news is dad did not need angioplasty or open heart surgery.
Also as to the cancer it looks like it's possible he wont need surgery but rather radiation treatment for 6 weeks instead. The Lord is taking care of these problems one at a time and the prognosis looks somewhat encouraging.
I am sure it is due to all of the prayers from so many people around the world. Thank you and please keep dad in your prayers. He will be in the hospital at least until Wednesday, possibly longer. They are still treating the pneumonia and diabetes along with everything else. I will post more information as I get it.
