In Memory of Toni Stuart

On March 6, 2015 many many people around the world prayed and fasted for Toni Stuart. These are two of our work ladies, Susan and Paula with Jonathan and I.  Just 10 days before this day we found out that she had stage four brain cancer and she was given just months to live. We wore orange in honor of Toni because that was one of her favorite colors. At the end of the day we received word that Toni had gone to be with Jesus. God answered our prayers and healed Toni and brought her home. It wasn't the healing that I was expecting but it was God's answer to all of our prayers. I am so thankful that she is with her Savior and that we had 1 1/2 years here in Wewak together.

 I first met Toni in 1997 when she came to Interface as an intern. We worked in the kitchen together! Here we are with Julie Koop, Keisa and Jen.

 We also hung out and played many games together in 1997... with Jen, Sarah, Rebekah, Deb and Mary.

This is the Stuart family the day before Toni went to be with Jesus. Please pray for Jason as he learns how to be a single parent. Please pray for wisdom and guidance for their future. Please pray for Jedidiah (9) and Ella Jo (7) as they adjust to a new life without their mum. And pray for Jason as he adjusts to a new life without Toni. They plan to return to Wewak in July so that Jason can continue his work as a Bible translator and teacher to many national believers.
