So, I met this guy
Palmer about a year and a half ago. Church planter from Columbus, OH. He and his young son Micah had come to SoCal to be a part of a small church network thingy going on at the
Evans' former house. Palmer's wife, Jennifer had only recently passed away from stomach cancer - still in her 20s. Ouch. The skin on his wrist was still pink from his new tattoo - the Hebrew script of
a verse from Job. He spoke to the group with a deep deep peace and understanding of God's grace. Frankly, it's the kind of grace that usually only comes after going through hell. Anyway, he returned to Ohio, and within several months God had blessed him with a new person to call his life partner. They recently married. And now this . . . Palmer has been experiencing severe back pain, which has just been diagnosed as resulting from a tumor near his spine. Please pray for him, his new wife, and their young family.
