URGENT PRAYER REQUEST: Christian Authors’ Newly Adopted Daughter Facing Cancer Treatment

Christian authors Michael and Lauren McAfee officially adopted their daughter Zion In mid-September.

When they first met Zion in China, Lauren wrote in a Facebook post that she was surprised at just “how natural it feels” to be a mother.

God knew all along we would be family,” she wrote of adopting Zion. “I am completely amazed at the details of how he brought us together. It’s a miracle, and a beautiful story that has unfolded. I couldn’t have imagined feeling this blessed and lucky. What a gift. We praise Jesus!

Everything seemed to be good until in early November when doctors found a tumor in their new baby’s liver.

The McAfees are facing a new and devastating challenge. Right now, they are in need of prayer.

How is this my day today?” Lauren wrote last Thursday. “Yesterday morning, Michael and I were waking up expecting another normal day, going through our morning routine with Zion, making her eggs, and giggling at her overly expressive faces at breakfast. We had no idea that we would get a call from her doctor that afternoon, and be sent straight to the ER to be admitted because a tumor had incidentally been found in some unrelated scheduled tests she had been through.”

We are still in shock and scared,” Lauren continued, “and I don’t quite know what to say except that we are reminding ourselves of God’s promises, and praying for healing. Will you pray with us?

Zion went in for surgery to have the tumor removed on Tuesday morning,

I cannot believe all she has overcome in her short life,” Michael tweeted. “I’m praying cancer is just another trial that God would use in her to bring him glory in her salvation and sanctification.

 

Last week, when the first learned of the tumor in Zion’s liver, Michael, like any parent, said he was “shocked and heartbroken.” But he is confident in God’s faithfulness and in his ability to heal his young daughter.

She cannot imagine the fight ahead of her,” the new dad wrote. “But I can promise you this, she’s up for it.
