Tito's Surgery

For those who didn't get the email, Tito is definitely having his surgery today. In fact, he is probably in the midst of it as I write this (9:26). He went in about 8 for all the preparations and anesthesia, and was supposed to start around 9, the entire procedure lasting about 4 hours. He has a tumor in his sinus, which is impeding his breathing and has moved toward his brain. We don't know if it is cancerous, but nevertheless it must be removed. It has been a long wait for his family, through various complications, misinformation, inefficiencies and passing off of responsibilities, but they have really seen the Lord's hand providing through it all. Because of the location of the tumor, it is a major, risky operation, and everyone here at our church is very concerned. Tito and his family have become very dear to us over the last several months, and we can see how hard it has been on them. Still, we know he is in the Lord's hands. Please join us in prayer for Tito today.
