According to the American Cancer Society, there were 2 million NEW cancer cases in 2022 just in the US alone. This is up 100,000 per year since 2019! Thus, a growing multitude of cancer patients, caretakers, and their loved ones are asking the deepest questions: "Where is God in my pain? How do I overcome anxiety? Does God heal? How do I get to heaven if I die?"  Many are ripe for God’s answers!

During our Executive Director's Stage IV cancer battle, Joe and his wife Terri felt so powerless. They learned, and are still learning, that He is our Stronghold and as we abide in Him, we experience His peace and strength. With your help we "visit" the sick with this same message. Jesus said in Matthew 26:36, "I was sick and you visited ME.”
