Summer Kempfer: An EpicMom With Stage 3 Cancer

Over 10 years ago my wife, Jodie, baby sat “Baby Taylor”  for our new friends Jeremy and Summer Kempfer.

Summer would drive over to our home, drop Baby Taylor off and the prayer meeting began!  Jodie literally prayed over Taylor, prayed for the Kempfer family and prayed that Summer and Jeremy would come to know Jesus.

And guess what…GOD MOVED!

Yep!  Summer and Jeremy both saw their need for Christ and surrendered their lives to Him.

That day in history is etched into my mind forever!

Just like YESTERDAY is etched into my mind forever!

Yesterday was the day that I found out that Summer was diagnosed with stage 3 cancer.  As I type this, it’s still hard to believe!

Although Summer is walking in the unknown, I love her faith filled, I WILL NOT cower and God WILL MOVE attitude!

Check out a couple of her Facebook updates from yesterday…

“As I was talking to God on my way to Academy this morning (to buy some comfy clothes) I told Him that there is no fear of the unknown. What He quickly told me back was that there is no fear because He “knows” what the future holds and because He is my Abba Father (my daddy) I trust Him and fear can not overtake me. Good stuff!” ~ Summer

“The world’s report is stage 3 cervical cancer but my God says I AM HEALED! We are standing on God’s word. There is no fear. I start Chemo as early as Monday and then radiation 5 days a week. Just know our GOD IS GOOD and FAITHFUL and He will give me grace for each day!” ~ Summer

So the reason for my post is to ask YOU to do 2 things for me…

  1. PRAY for the Kempfer family.
  2. Visit Summer on Facebook and post on her wall, let her know you are praying for her.

Thank you so much for taking time to speak life into Summer’s soul!!

    WOW ~ She is about to walk closer to God and see HIM and experience HIM in a way no healthy human being on this planet ever has. Not that it takes illness but it’s like no one can really understand the amazing blessings that comes with a special needs child until they have a close relationship with special needs child. My heart overflows for her and my prayers are on my knees for her.

    I am so grateful that you led my sweet friend, Summer, to Christ. Her ministry has dramatically impacted my life and then the lives of each member of my family. All glory to our amazing Abba Father. Our God is a god who saves.
