I wanted to share something special that I would like to ask you to do for a dear friend named, Sheila Campbell. Sheila has been a missionary alongside her hubby, Steve, in the Philippines since February 2000. They have three children. They returned to the States to check into some health problems Sheila had been experiencing. They soon found out that Sheila had Stage 4 Lymphoma. Most recently, Sheila has been told that she will need to have a bone marrow transplant.
Her friends have sent messages on Facebook to begin a card shower for Sheila as a surprise. She really needs our encouragement right now. Even if you don't know Sheila personally, you can still understand the encouragement cards or notes would be from people all around the world letting you know that they are praying for YOU in a time of need. Please share this with your churches, youth groups, ladies' groups, or Sunday school classes so that they too can participate as mentioned below.

Following is the note from the friend who started this card shower.
With the bone marrow transplant that she's going to need (which is 60 days straight, including holidays and weekends), she will have lots of expenses such as gas, food, room and board, extra medical bills, etc. We are encouraging people to send a card and include a gas card, gift card, or check if possible. If not, at least a card of encouragement.
Her address:

Please also help me spread this news to other churches or friends that you know would participate.
For your convenience, I've made a flyer that is hosted privately online and can be printed out here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9500526/Church/card-shower.pdf

You can print this flyer and use it to show to people at your church.
Please take a little time to do this yourself and even share with someone. Sheila and Steve both are special friends to my husband and I and we want to be an encouragement to them in any way we can right now.
