ABOUT CANCER CARE MINISTRY

Cancer care ministry is a hope ministry. While it involves prayer, counsel, visits and assistance, it is centered on bringing God’s hope to patients and their caregivers, family and friends. This requires an understanding of the impact of cancer, how people react to it and how God has called His people to respond. Above all, it requires us to have within ourselves an unfeigned hope that we can take to those in need.

This ministry training program 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. In 2023, approximately 2 million Americans were diagnosed with cancer, according to the American Cancer Society.
