A ‘rare disease’ is one that affects fewer than 200,000 people in the United States. There are more than 6,000 of these diseases! Most cause debilitating disabilities.
And God is sovereign over every one of them. No exceptions.
Together, they impact almost one in 20 people. That’s a lot of people!
And a great mission field for the church. Let’s begin by praying that more families experiencing a rare disease become part of our church families – so much so that the next time they make a video they reference families, professionals AND churches!
The Works of God 
Our previously healthy 15 year old daughter was diagnosed with a rare type of GATA2 genetic mutation in July ’13 – it was the first time that particular mutation had been seen in the UK – we buried her January ’14
The support from our church has been amazing.
