Baby Pierce


So. This little guy, a baby born to friends of ours in seminary, came into the world a few weeks early.
Like 16 weeks early.
Lindsay, who is a full time nanny, has been healthy and had a normal pregnancy up until her body went into labor at 24 weeks.
Her husband, Nik is a full time student and began the same year that Wes did.

The picture above is their sweet little baby boy, Pierce next to a ball point pen. He is fighting for his life each and every day. Lindsay and Nik had been lead by the hand of the Almighty through this seven day journey...and continue to see His hand and experience His grace. The little guy has been through so much. Several times Lindsay and Nik have thought they were going to have to say good-bye. But the Lord continues to strengthen Pierce. And sustain him. This is a link to their blog -


Some friends through RTS have set up a link on their blog to help support the expenses that they are incurring each and every day. Lindsay has been their financial support as a full time nanny and with the surprising birth of Pierce, they were not prepared for any of this. If you so feel lead, please give in order to help a family in desperate need - of mostly your prayers for their son's survival and also, for their expenses. They, like us, live very modestly with the provider of the home being a full time student.

My heart is burdened for this sweet family, the Franks. Please take a moment to pray for baby Pierce.

We thank you for your love for the saints (whom you've never even met).

Nik, Lindsay and baby Pierce celebrating his seventh day of life!
