Hello family and friends!
We come to you with a heartfelt
update about our beloved Dad, Owen Carey. Owen has been diagnosed with Oral Cavity
cancer. This serious condition requires surgery on his throat, tongue, and jaw.
The recovery will be long, and Owen will have to relearn how to speak, eat, and
do many basic things. The surgery is just the first step, and while we don’t know
everything just yet, we expect him to be in the hospital for at least a week. His
surgery is scheduled near the end of January.
Our family is 100% trusting in God’s plan and firmly believes that He works all things for good (Romans 8:28) and Knowing that Owen has faithfully used his voice for so many years to preach the Word of God, we believe there could not be a more important time to lift both Owen and Esther up in prayer and support.
Our family is 100% trusting in God’s plan and firmly believes that He works all things for good (Romans 8:28) and Knowing that Owen has faithfully used his voice for so many years to preach the Word of God, we believe there could not be a more important time to lift both Owen and Esther up in prayer and support.
At this time, there is
no clear timeline for when Owen may be able to speak or preach again after his surgery,
nor is there certainty about the next steps in his treatment. Because of this, we
are setting up this support page to give those who love them an opportunity to come
alongside them—through prayer, encouragement, and practical support—as they walk
this road together.
Your prayers, words of encouragement, and any form of support will greatly aid Owen during his recovery process and Esther as she takes a caregiver role through his healing journey. We are deeply grateful for your kindness, as each gesture will make a significant impact on this journey.
