I am very moved by the big hearts of bloggers and twitter friends who have shared the story of Randy Miller of The Myriad linking to his video or mentioning how people can pray and help. If you do not know his band, they are fantastic. However, I first got to know Randy as a concrete contractor who played drums in my church’s worship team. I know his wife, kids and my family loves the Millers! They are family to us. (more…)
Hey readers of RKWL… PLEASE watch this short video put on by Randy Miller’s band, The Myriad. Randy is an amazing person who really needs help in his battle for cancer. Go to www.themyriad.net to support Randy and his family.
Personally, I have learned more, seen more and done more out of brokenness than out of my talent, experience or skill. During times of weakness it seems God makes Himself more real to me. When you are a leader–fill in the blank like being a dad, a pastor, a music director, a worship leader–you never quite measure up to the task. At least, that is what I think of myself when I am broken. This includes the all important leadership of self. (more…)
Those who already follow The Myriad or who are friends and family with Randy Miller have most likely already heard the sad news that Randy had surgery to remove a tumor on his torso and was found to have cancer. Randy and Kristyn are amazing friends. This picture was the last time I got to play music with Randy on my farewell worship service at Neighborhood Church in Redding. My friends who served on that worship team with Randy know how much of an inspiration he is and how wonderful his family is. Tammy and I are asking you to please pray for him and his family as he has immediate financial needs.
**Update (11/2/08)The name of the cancer is chondrasarcoma. Stage is unknown at this time. Pray for this to be lower stage. One scary thing is they said is it is possible that amputation of shoulder and arm may be needed. Please continue to pray.
Two ways to help: His current church The Stirring has setup a way to give on their website. All you have to do is sign up at this link where you will see a Randy Miller fund set up. Obviously, prayer is very important, too. So, please keep him and his family in your prayers. The diagnosis had to be sent to Harvard since it is a rare form of cancer. Pray for their physical, material and emotional needs to be met and for God’s healing.
If you are in with me on this, please leave a note here and I will pass on the encourgement to Randy!
