Prayers Much Appreciated

A very close family member of ours is in Christchurch at the moment waiting to have major surgery on Monday to remove a cancerous growth that is over 20 cm long. He is not a Christian and his wife says that they don't know if he will live through the operation. (His wife is not a Christian either.) He also has lost an extremely large amount of blood over the past few months too so will need a blood transfusion before the operation.

Can you please pray that he won't die before he becomes a Christian!!!!! We all love him dearly and don't want him to die at all...
but will you pray that God's will be done in this situation...
and that God will be very real to him all throughout his operation, and God willing, his recovery afterwards.
