Thank You For Your Prayers In Our Time of Grief

I want to thank everyone for their prayers for my nephew Karsten. He went Home to be with Jesus last night. His body has been freed from the pain and made whole again.

It is never an easy thing to struggle with an illness such as MS, but through out Karsten’s battle, he always tried to remain in good spirits, trusting in God to see him through. His courage and spirit touched the hearts of many people during his time here on earth, bringing hope and joy. It is that same hope and joy that will be cherished in the memories of his family in the days to come.

Please continue to keep his parents and sister in prayers, as I know their hearts are filled with a great sense of loss right now. It is never easy to loose someone you love so dearly. But I also know how our spirits can be lifted up in prayer, and that God will carry us through the pain. It will not be easy for them, I know. But God will give them strength and courage to go on, and bring peace and healing to their hearts, one day at a time.

Thank you all, and God bless. – Amber

Asking for Prayers

Aug 27

Posted by Amber Lea

To family, friends, fans and followers:

I am asking for your help. This is my nephew Karsten. He has been fighting a long battle with MS, including many severe seizures. He has been in the hospital for over 2 months now, and the doctors recently said he has exhausted all possible treatments for MS, and even a new chemotherapy. But nothing is working and Karsten continues to grow weaker. He is no longer able to talk, eat or swallow, he is completely blind now, he can no longer move, and he’s been intubated for breathing after a tracheotomy. He’s also been receiving dialysis due to weakened kidneys.

While this young man’s body may be weak and broken, he has a strong heart for God. His only request has been for prayers, and so I am sharing his request. Please lift him and his family up with your prayers and love, knowing that God is mighty and capable of all things. Thank you and God bless. – Amber
