On Tuesday October 11, 2011 Leanne (Chin) was diagnosed with breast cancer. This blog will follow her journey. It will share the peaks and valleys along the way. But it will also serve as a way to communicate prayer requests and praises. Join us as we partner with Chin and fight along side her for she "...can do all things through Christ who strengthens her." Phil. 4:13

The meaning behind Chin ... There is a Chinese restaurant in the Twin Cities named Leann Chin. While Leanne was attending a basketball camp in middle school, a fellow camper had a bag from the restaurant. This camper made the connection between the name of the restaurant and Leanne's name. And the nickname Chin stuck!

She's home!

Around 4:45 this afternoon Leanne left this earth and entered heaven running towards the open arms of her Savior Jesus Christ. Her battered, bruised, scarred, and cancer ravaged body is new. Whole. Perfect. Can you imagine the joy?!?!?

In the words of my brother, God took home a warrior who made an army of followers for Him. You, TEAM CHIN, are those warriors. There is nothing that would honor Leanne's legacy of faith more than each of you warriors living out your faith every minute of every day. Leanne lived out Philippians 3:20-21 more than anyone else.

"But our citizenship is in heaven, from which we eagerly wait for a Savior, The Lord Jesus Christ. He will transform the body of our humble condition into the likeness of His glorious body, by the power that enables Him to subject everything to Himself."

May each of you spend each moment living for our home. Heaven.

Her Visitation and Celebration of Life are scheduled for Saturday May 24, 2014 and Sunday May 25, 2014. Details to come.

I have prayed over Leanne and followed this blog. I checked it each day for good news, yet even if it wasn't the best news, your faith in His word and work is addicting. It has changed me and many others in our view to see things as He intends them to be seen and to trust in Him. Indeed He did use Leanne on her time here: to be the model of faith as a real follower of Jesus. Blessings~

I know Leanne is hearing "well done, good and faithful servant!" She is worshipping and praising her Savior. I pray for those here, for comfort and peace, strength and joy. Sending love and prayers.

I grew up at Wooddale Church with Leanne's brother Tim. I remember being at his house and hearing all the laughter shared between Tim, his sisters and their parents. As the years past, its clear your bond only grew. My heart breaks for all of you tonight. I will forever be inspired by Leanne's faith and courage. You have an incredible family uplifted in endless prayers. With love, Christine Hunter

Receive our deep felt sympathy from Youth for Christ Denmark - we are all sad and touched, but we do also rejoice with you realizing that Leanne finally is completely healed as promised in 1 Pet 2:24.

I went to high school with Leanne, ran track with her and cheered for women's basketball as well. I remember specifically a 6am practice in which she ran next to me. I am very sad to hear that she has passed, and pray for strength and peace for her husband, son, parents, siblings, and other members of her family.
