John Knight (Works of God) linked to the video – and I googled to find your blog.
Praying here in Canada. Thank you for sharing the wonder of God’s severe mercy to you.

Zac, through your beautifully written blog…I fall deeper in love with God. The reality of Christ in your life is tangible. It’s so easy for us to glorify God when everything is going well…but you…through God in you, are glorifying Him through this run in with cancer.

You wear your Father’s name well,

Blessings to you and your family.

Good morning Zac and family,
I pray that today God is giving you some comfort. Just wanted to check in on how you are all doing. I am still praying for a miracle for you. My key verse is Romans 8:28. May all things work together for you and your family. Love in Christ, Barbara

Zac,
I worked with Amanda at Angie’s in Castle Rock, CO. We became very close friends and I’ve thought of her and your family everyday since you left. I can’t explain what an amazing person I think you are. I enjoy learning from your wisdom that extends well beyond your years. I’m touched by your faith in Jesus and your dependency on him, even in these difficult days. I love your whole family more than you know and will continue to send up prayers from Colorado!!

Zac, I hold you in prayer brother. We have never met. I feel a connection as I am also battling stage 4 stomach and esophageal cancer. I’v had surgery, radiation and chemo. I have 6 weeks of chemo to go. My last PET scan was cancer free, praise Jesus. I’m 25 with a wife and son. You are an example to me. Thank you for your honesty and courage. May the Lord Jesus grant you the grace to live well and die well, whether that be this year or 60 years from now. Keep fighting and I’ll keep praying for your complete healing.

Zac, I graduated from Alliance the year before you arrived. Skip is my brother. We played your video in church this week (your parents are coming to lead a missions conference here in Puerto Rico). I haven’t ever quite seen our church so ministered to.

In 2003, we held our daughter and son as they passed away after a fight in the NICU. We had spent years trying to conceive, and the sting of having these two miracles ripped away felt so unfair. Those desperate hours we spent praying, and feeling so powerless felt like years. I remember feeling such resounding faith that God was going to heal them. I remember being completely confused when He didn’t. I often wonder what it would be like to have a 7-year old son to play soccer with. A lifetime unlived.

I don’t know what is in store for you. I can’t address God’s Purpose. If I were in your position, I would be most anguished over not being around for my family. Wanting to be there for those big life events. But Zac, it’s entirely possible a father could spend the rest of his life here on earth, meeting every physical and emotional need and never leave a spiritual legacy for his children. All the things we’re engrained to “provide” for our families are meaningless on the day of reckoning. But Zac, your attitude, your example, your words are a model that will be part of your family forever. It’s a spiritual imprint that cannot be removed. It’s the best legacy you can leave your family. In the end, it’s the only legacy God will measure you by. Keep fighting, bro.

I wish that our tears and prayers could change all of this, Zac. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and your complete surrender to God in the midst of your pain. I continue to pray…

Thank you for standing faithfully as a soldier of Christ. You are truly “giving a reason for the hope that is in you,” and your testimony is spreading to those you will never know.

Zac, I don’t know if you will remember me. My parents are missionaries to Peru and I was a teenager when we visited your parent’s home in Quito. You and Stacey were several years younger than my brother and sister and me. My husband and I are now raising support to go to Peru through the BBFI. Your parents have shared this website with us and my husband and I have been praying for you and your family for many months now. I am truly sorry that you are going through this. I can’t even begin to imagine how difficult this has all been for you and your family. It is amazing to me how God has given you such grace during this time. Thankyou for your faithful example of trusting the Lord even in the worst of circumtances. We are praying for all of you many times during the day. May God give you an extra amount of grace and peace today and ease your pain.
