Facing Childhood Cancer
I would never have believed that a church would pray for a family they didn't know. But when they heard the news that doctors believed a child in this family had cancer - Lymphoma - that's what they did. My son Sam had a mass on his liver and spleen and small tumors forming in his abdomen. He was... >Read More
