Gage Charles


Many of you know Gage Charles(above singing at Guy & Elaine's wedding), Guy's brother. Gage sang at our wedding and has been battling ulcerative colitis for many years...George battles with this same ailment. I just got an email from Elaine and thought I'd share it:

Dear Friends and Family,My brother-in-law, Gage, has suffered from ulcerative colitis for the past 4+ years and has recently had a severe bout with it for the past 6+ months. Due to the severe pain and discomfort and him trying every possible healing agent prior to surgery, he has decided to get surgery. He will be getting the J-pouch surgery on December 11th in Dallas. While the surgery is pretty major and he will be in the hospital for about a week, I pray that this is the beginning to a new way of living for him. He is only 22 and has not been able to leave the house in months. Please join us and pray for him going into surgery, for a successful surgery, for quick healing time, and any other needs that are placed on your heart. Gage is such a wonderful man and we believe that the Lord has wonderful plans for his life and hope that this is a big step to help him achieve all the great things God has in store for him. Thank you and hope all is well.

In Him,Elaine

I will continue to pray for Gage, especially on the 11th. I know this is a hard decision to reach. Gage is so talented. Lord help him to be able to live a healthy full life, using the gifts that you gave him for your glory. Help his doctors to make wise decisions for him now, and knit his body as only you can.
