JOURNEY OF HOPE is a cancer care ministry, centered on bringing God’s hope to patients and their caregivers, family, and friends. This group’s desire is to provide encouragement and hope; spiritual support and prayer; as well as, practical support, courage and compassion to every person in our community affected by cancer. This ministry was created because of the significant need in our nation, as well as in the body of Christ, to care for those dealing with cancer. According to the American Cancer Society, over 12 million people in the United States are living with or have been personally diagnosed with cancer. Every year, 1.5 million more people receive a cancer diagnosis. That means that in a church of 200 people approximately eight people are living with cancer and two more will be diagnosed with it every year. Each of these individuals has family members and caregivers that are affected as well.
