For the Glory of His Name

Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward. 
- Psalm 127:3

Meet Wesley Hawks. He is the son of Krystin Hawks, who is a member of Calvary Severance. He is an amazing, joyful little boy and the youngest of five. Westley was born with a genetic disease called PFIC2. This disease causes his liver to not function well, and he is in the end stages of liver disease. Westly is the third sibling in his family with this disorder. His two older siblings received liver transplants that transformed their lives into healthy ones. Krystin was informed over the past few weeks that Westley is in desperate need of a liver transplant and will undergo screening and testing to get him placed on the donor list in the coming days.
 
I share this with you for a few reasons. First, this is a joyful little part of our body, and if you know Westley, then you know he always puts a smile on your face. Secondly, I ask that you pray specifically for Westley and his family. Pray that a donor will be found soon and that the transplant procedure is successful, and that Westley can have a healthy, long life, loving Jesus. Third, I am sharing this because you could possibly be a donor for him. If compatible, you could donate a portion of your liver to Westley so that he can resume a healthy life.

This is a common practice, and the donor also resumes a healthy life, and the procedure is minimal and covered by their insurance. The first requirement is that your blood type be O+. If interested, you can use this link to complete the application.
 
We have been teaching on the subject of stewarding our resources for the Glory of God, and I pray we have been challenged to broaden our perception of just what that means. It is more than just our finances; it is all that God has given us, even possibly a portion of our liver. Would you join me in loving on this family, praying for them, and possibly consider being a donor for little Westley? Who knows how God will use this circumstance and Westley for the glory of His name and the good of His people?
