Kidney Transplant : Wes Roelofsen and Rachel Roelofsen Kiers

The kidney transplant is scheduled for tomorrow, Wednesday September 9, 2015.  Our son-in-law Wes, who is married to our oldest daughter Rachelle will be donating one of his kidneys to his dear sister Rachel.  Rachel is married to Bryan Kiers.  She has suffered from Lupus for many years and her kidneys have shut down quite some time ago.  Wes and Rachel are the children of Ray and Willy (Meeboer) Roelofsen.
The surgery to remove the kidney from Wes is scheduled for 9:00 a.m. and the transplant for Rachel is scheduled for 1:00 p.m.
Please uphold them and their families in your prayers especially today and tomorrow.  Pray that they may experience the peace that surpasses understanding.  Pray that God will guide the surgeons hands, that all will go well, and that the kidney will function perfectly in Rachel's body, so that she may experience good health which she has not had for a long time.  Pray for a good recovery for Wes as he will be home for 2 months while his body heals.  May we all storm God's throne with our prayers that His name be honoured and glorified in all of this.
May Wes and Rachel be strengthened by God's promise to us in Philipians 4:6 and 7:

"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus."
