Something unique happened on that last day of prayer and fasting. This is the emotional untold story of how God directed us from France to continue in Quebec, for His Glory, in the French-Speaking world.

Honor
On my way from Montpellier to Seattle to see my father as he battles cancer… PRAY: https://robertkarch.com/prayercover/ GIVE ONE-TIME: https://tinyurl.com/y9e3vvzl GIVE RECURRING: https://tinyurl.com/y9saosbh TWITTER: https://twitter.com/robkarch YOUTUBE: YouTube: https://tinyurl.com/ll3p9np
Confronted by Death, but I Don’t Have to Fear It.
What God did for me in 2016 through the process of cancer, chemo, and remission, is make me cognizant of death. This body may not last another six months, or five years. Or, it may last another 40 years. Death is right in front of my face. But because of the resurrection, I do not…
My Father Has Cancer
Two weeks after moving into our place in France, I received a text-message from my father telling me he has cancer. And while we’ll continue in France, I’m feeling the tension between following God’s call to the French-speaking world on the one hand, and honoring my father on the other.

Resurrection
נֵ֫צֶר = “branch” “Netsareth” = Nazareth = “Branch-Town”[1] A shoot will come up from the stump of Jesse; from his roots a Branch will bear fruit. The Spirit of the Lord will rest on him – the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and of might, the Spirit of…
Results: COMPLETE REMISSION!!!
REMISSION: We met with our doctor and walked through the results of the past three scans: 2 CT Scans and 1 PET scan. The PET scan showed no sugar uptake. The overall result is that I am in COMPLETE REMISSION! This is great news. ANEMIA: Blood tests came back saying my hemoglobin levels are getting pretty…
PET Scan Results
(Français ci-dessous) As you can imagine, Martine cried. I am grateful. We feel like we’ve been slowly scaling a 14,000+ peak in the wind and rain. And though there is still a steep and painful climb ahead, we just caught a glimpse of the summit. Here are the (simplified) results from last Thursday’s PET Scan…
Grateful for Each Day
It was easy to overlook good days. Days when I felt physically and mentally sharp. Most days of my life, both physically and mentally, have been good days… until chemo started. For the first time in my life I have felt physically terrible and mentally foggy for weeks. I know there are many who read…
Breathe
I’ve run into so many people through this process who have either had cancer in the past, or have it currently. Either they encourage me, or I have had the privilege of encouraging them. It has been amazing. Last Thursday I had an echocardiogram. Leah, the nurse who examined my heart went through an extreme…
Becoming Darth Vader…
The NEXT STEP TO BECOMING DARTH VADER: 10:30am tomorrow morning they’ll install a port-a-cath into my chest. The tube (catheter) goes into my vein and will stay there throughout the chemo process. Rather than having to constantly stick needles into my veins for each procedure, they’ll use the port. I HATE needles. I nearly passed…
Voici ce qu’on sait: “T-Cell/Histiocyte-Rich B-Cell Lymphoma”
On ne sais pas beaucoup, mais nous en savons au moins un peu plus. Nous savons quel sorte de cancer que j’ai: “T-Cell/Histiocyte-Rich B-Cell Lymphoma” Aujourd’hui nous avons eu un rendez-vous avec le chirurgien qui a fait mon opération la semaine passée. Je suis en train de bien récupérer. Je peux même m’entrainer maintenant. Le chirurgien…
This is what we know: “T-Cell/Histiocyte-Rich B-Cell Lymphoma”
While we do not know a lot, we now have one big detail. We know what kind of cancer I have: “T-Cell/Histiocyte-Rich B-Cell Lymphoma” Today’s appointment was a followup with the surgeon. I am recovering well and he freed me to full activity. He shared the pathology report with us, but as is normal for a…
