Don’t Miss the Latest Chapters in Cancer Companion’s Adventure with the Lord!
Hello, friend, let me ask you…
Chapter One
The Explosion
When this digital explosion began, I could hardly believe it. Cancer Companion's board and staff were, of course, ecstatic with this downpour of blessings and the potential for the name of Jesus Christ to resonate in the hearts of cancer patients around the world. Then we looked around at our limited staff and thought “uh oh.”
Chapter Two
God's Path
At a strategic meeting in June 2025, we believed God's path for us was to find a Christian partner with:
- An unmovable foundation in Christ.
- A commitment to grow both our digital and volunteer-based programs.
Chapter Three
God's Surprise
But God said, “Nice plan, but I'm going to give you MORE! I am going to give you…”
- A partner with a passion for volunteers since their launch in 1986 when they began sending volunteers to do two clear and powerful things — share Jesus' love and help their neighbors.
- A partner with a global ministry reaching not only the US but Asia, Africa and beyond.
- A partner with a CEO and Board of Directors committed to using the Cancer Companions digital/volunteer model with their other US-based ministries.
- A partner called to now minister to cancer patients, survivors, caregivers and their loved ones.
Meet Kingdom Workers
Allow me to introduce you to Cancer Companions' new partner: Kingdom Workers.

So when God gave immeasurably more than we asked, was it just to rock the lives of those intricately involved in creating this partnership? Or the lives of the countless cancer patients who will benefit? Would you believe — it was for you?
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us… Ephesians 3:20
God brought more by His power that is at work within us — and that's you too. Every prayer you lifted, every dollar you donated and every time you shared about this precious cancer ministry, God was using His Spirit within you to plant one more seed in this mighty work He is building. So thank you, for each and every seed you have planted for Cancer Companions.
God's not done doing immeasurably more here. He's only just beginning.
After all, 18.6 million people in the US have a history of cancer. If Cancer Companions reached these people just once a month, that's a yearly reach of 223,600,000. So yes, our one million a year reach is wonderful — but the need is so much bigger. Taking Cancer Companions to the next level is not a small endeavor. I'm asking you to please keep planting seeds, lifting prayers, sharing this story and contributing to Cancer Companions, so you may reap the blessings of being part of this mighty work God has just begun.
Please pray with me…
Lord God Almighty, You have blown our minds. Where we saw limitation, You saw preparation for Your work to be done. We are in awe, so we humbly shout Your praises. You are all loving, all goodness and all powerful. Take this uniting of Cancer Companions and Kingdom Workers and guide us breath by breath to see what You are calling this partnership, now and for years to come. Let each of us hold tight to the power You have placed in each of us to steadfastly plant seeds — to reach not some cancer patients, but all. You are our Rock and our Fortress,
Amen
There's a lot more for me to share about this onslaught of blessings from the Lord. So reach out and let's set up a time to talk — I would enjoy sharing with you all the seeds Jesus has been planting for such a time as this.
