> Ministry to cancer patients and their families is critical to
their health, well being, support and recovery. We know this not
only because Scripture makes it clear, but also because hundreds of
scientific studies have proven that spirituality and faith play a
major and crucial role in people's physical health . faster recovery
times from surgery, fewer hospital days, lower death rates,
unexplainable healings. These are but a few of the documented
benefits.

> Often, though, people don't know what to say to someone with
cancer, what will be helpful, what a person's really going through
who's received that diagnosis. They don't really understand what
cancer is, the causes, the mental, emotional, physical and spiritual
battles a person is undergoing nor what is needed to impart hope and
encouragement at this time.
