Prayer for our Pastor

I just wanted to write really quick and ask you guys to PLEASE pray for our Pastor. He has been in NM (Los Cruses) for a few months now at a hospital trying to get answers or recover. He has a doctor there that is working with him.
The only way that he will get well is to get a kidney and liver transplant, something he is not sure that he wants to do. He is on dialysis again and that is the only way that he can survive at this point.
Nate and a couple of his buddies are going up there this weekend to spend some time with him. It's Easter and I will be sad to be at home without him but I know that this is really important. The Lord could take him home at any time.
Please pray for a miracle of God to heal him, and if not, that he would give Mrs. Thompson, My father-in-law and the church wisdom and peace in dealing with a Pastor of a large church dying. I really hate to think of that happening, but it may be the Lord's will and we will all need grace to accept that.
Pastor is very organized in what he may be leaving behind. He is making it so that everyone will know what to do and he will pick a new Pastor before he dies so that those left in authority will not have to make that decision. He is also helping Mrs. Thompson to know what to do, which I think is very smart.
Please pray fervently for him, and as always, Caleb and Joshua. Nothing has changed with their situation, but it would be such a huge miracle and blessing if they could see their dad before he dies.
Thank you guys so much!

So sorry to hear of the illness of your Pastor. What a hard place to be in right now. Praise the Lord he is yielded to God's will and is making provision for those at home and in the church. We will be praying for him, the church, you and Nate, and the Pastor's family~

Jen, it makes my stomach all knot up every time I think about this. He is such a wonderful man and it is just so sad to think about. But I know for sure that the Lord will be glorified in his life whether by life or death.
