“We were able to get the support we needed and to get back on our feet…”
When my children were small (18 months and 4 years) we had a house fire. It was a fault from our dishwasher and we lost everything. Out Reverend came to see us and along with the most amazing donation of cash to help us from the congregation, we had prayers held for us. We were able to get the support we needed and to get back on our feet, and find a suitable rental property with the help of those prayers.
Since this time, I have always accepted any offers of prayer from my local church, as I believe wholeheartedly that my prayers were answered when I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2012. The type of cancer I had was extremely aggressive and I was told I had 70% chance of it returning within 3 years. It is now 11 years since my diagnosis and since then I have also had another primary source of cancer, this time renal. Again, my local church and congregation added me to their prayer list and I am now 3 years away from this diagnosis and have been told since then that my kidney cancer has been cured!
