Sad news today, Matt Chandler, the leading Pastor of The Village Church, even though he has had surgery already, still has part of the brain tumor that sent him to hospital.

The malignant brain tumor could not be completely removed due to the nature of the tumor, and although there are a number of treatment options, the exact steps in the recovery process have not been determined yet. The surgery was a positive first step, and Matt Chandler is being released from hospital today, but he will have to continue outpatient rehab.

The Village Church have expressed their support of Matt and his family and say they are standing behind their pastor while he endures this difficult trial.

The church asks for supporters not to visit Matt Chandler and his family at his home, but to pray for the following:

Wisdom for all the coming decisions

Strength and peace to endure

The kids’ (Audrey, Reid and Norah) hearts; pray the Lord is merciful as they process and that their little hearts do not grow embittered

The Chandlers and The Village would suffer well because of the gospel and for the sake of Christ’s name

Matt Chandler also has a twitter page, that he is still updating.
