May 25, 1995 presented me with quite a surprise -- and another of life's challenges. Confronted with the evidence of a Grade IV malignant brain tumor my experience of life soon changed. Surgery, radiation, and a shortened chemotherapy regimen left me physically and emotionally exhausted. Against my doctor's wishes, I stopped taking chemotherapy in January 1996. There is no medical "cure" for brain cancer so I set forth seeking a miracle and an opportunity to serve a God that might graciously heal me. Throughout my life I had often wondered about God -- His existence, nature, and purpose for us. Unfortunately, I had never comfortably resolved these questions. This was soon to change.
In February 1996 my wife and I attended our first Christian healing class led by Hal Weeks. Just hearing about such a class affected me profoundly. Very shortly we witnessed the power of God's Spirit in our lives. We began to immerse ourselves in the literature and practice of "hands on healing", intercessory prayer, etc. The manifestations of God's love and power brought great comfort to us. Despite a reoccurrence of the tumor (Grade II) in March 1996, my faith and thankfulness continued to grow as God used me to help others. For one year the recurrent tumor remained. In March 1997, the area in which the tumor was clear -- and remains so to this day. Thankful for the steadfast prayers of many and the power of God's Holy Spirit invoked through the name of Jesus, this testimony is in service to God so that others might seek a personal relationship with His Son Jesus and receive this blessing.
