Prayer Request:

(2025-09-23)

Please pray for Ted & Teresa, Kinzey, Naomi, Sydney, Bryson & Brayden Bachtold. Teresa had her first routine colonoscopy about 3 weeks ago and the results show that she has colon cancer. She went back to the doctor a week later for further biopsies and a CT scan and we are waiting for those results. We know that God’s timing is perfect and that He is good, all the time! We trust that He will cause beautiful things to happen in people’s hearts because of this situation. We are so thankful for our compassionate church family and we love each of you!

Prayer Update:

(2025-09-25)

At Teresa’s gastroenterologist appointment this afternoon, we got the best report we could: the cancer seems to be contained to the polyps which were removed during the colonoscopy. We are now waiting to see the oncologist regarding if radiation is necessary. Thank you all for praying for us! Praise God for His healing and mercy!
