New Hips hasn't added a story.
Hi, my wife and I have been friends with Christian and Melissa for nearly twenty years... it has been many years since we have caught up with this wonderful family and after a recent phone conversation with Christian we have only just now learned of the ongoing physical hardship he has been going through over the years and the very difficult decision he has just had to make.....
After our chat I thought there has to be something we can do to help, so I have setup this campaign in the hope that you will all join us in standing together to make a massive difference to Christian’s upcoming journey!
Following is a snapshot of the McCudden family and Christian’s journey so far and the reasons why our donations are so very vital and impactful at this time for them...
Christian has been married to Melissa for 21 yrs. and they have 3 three amazing children, Noah, Ella and Zachary. In 2013 Christian & Melissa moved from their home in Sydney's northern beaches leaving family, friends and working at C3 Oxford falls as one of the full time pastors, and planted C3 church Noosa, launching in May of 2013.
Prior to planting C3 Noosa they were a part of C3 Oxford falls for 20 years. Over that time Christian fulfilled many roles in various areas including:
Youth ministry for 12yrs / Pastoring / Lecturing in the Bible College.
Travelled with and assisted Ps Phil for 6 years.
Project managed the buildings and renovations that went on over the years at C3 Oxford falls.
Christian has also over many years ministered in Church's throughout Australia, New Zealand, America, Europe, Asia and Indonesia seeing many people saved, healed and touched by the power of God.
He has also seen over the year’s incredible healings and testimonies.
Blind eyes opened / Deaf ears opened / Cancer healed
Crippled people getting out of wheel chairs / Stroke patients healed and walking and speaking.
Pain leaving bodies immediately / Blood conditions healed / People who were suicidal set free
Dead raised to life / Arthritis conditions healed
Broken bones healed instantly… and many more stories to be told.
Christian and Melissa have now been on the Sunshine Coast QLD for 5 1/2 years with C3 Noosa just celebrating its 5th birthday. A church that is vibrant, growing, and impacting many lives in their local community and beyond. As this all still continues to grow and function Christian currently works part time for their church C3 Noosa and full time as a carpenter, building on job sites.
Over the past 8 years Christian has suffered with pain in his body from a gradual degenerative arthritic condition in both his hips. In the past 4 years the pain has become very intense with major side effects such as only being able to sleep a couple of sound hours a night, having limited movement, unable to exercise or do the physical things he loves to do and especially with his kids.
Two years ago Christian had the opportunity to go over to the U.S to get stem cell treatment in both hips which has helped to a small degree but has not been able to see the full benefits due to his current working activity of being on the tools building.
Building over the last few years has taken a huge toll on his body and made the pain more intense. Christian has now come to a place where he cannot physically continue to do his work labouring as a builder, due to the extreme pain and limited movement.
He has no other option left other than to proceed with further treatment being a double hip replacement!
A double hip replacement and the extensive rehabilitation involved is quite costly and the road to full recovery is a good 6 to12 months!
In a matter of days Christian will have no income from building as he has had to give notice and quit due to his bodies inability to function sufficiently in the way needed to perform his role as a builder and his bodies pain levels have reached a crippling level.
Christian needs our help NOW!
The results from this will be amazing!
It will give Christian back his quality of life! It will give him back the things that we take for granted like having a full night’s sleep, having no crippling pain, being able to exercise, and the ability to do normal life activities with his children while they are still young!
We would love to enable Christian to get this surgery done ASAP and for him to have the appropriate time required for a full recovery.
It is a costly procedure and the post-operative rehabilitation expenses required will be quite high.
To enable Christian to have the procedure and the necessary time off not needing to labour physically in the building industry is a minimum of six months..... So that’s what we have based the amount of funds needed to raise on: - The double hip replacement surgery, rehabilitation and physical therapy for six months and funds to keep the family afloat while Christian is unable to work.
So we kindly ask you to consider donating to help bless Christian and his family at this time as they make plans towards treatment, surgery and rehabilitation.
Christian has been such a faithful servant and blessing to so many lives over the years. A servant’s heart through and through and one of the most generous people you will ever meet.
If you are reading this then you have probably been blessed in some form either directly or indirectly from the big hearted kindness of this faithful man.
We now we get the opportunity to sow back into this rich soil of an amazing family and help them in their time of need!
They are so humble and never complain most people wouldn’t even know about this ongoing struggle over the years and how Christian has been enduring such pain in his body while going about blessing others!
Let’s all band together to quickly raise the funds for this much needed surgery!
If we all dig deep, give what we can and pass this on to our various friends and networks then Christian will be on the road to recovery before we know it...
Thank you all for your thoughts, prayers and generous donations....
God Bless!!
