September 2010 I was diagnosed with Esophageal Cancer and began Chemo- Radiation treatment in November.  Following these intensive treatments I  went into a state of comatose through February 2011.  Thanks to all of the "PRAYERS" of friends and family and the "EXCFELLENT" medical assistance I came home to Bowling Green,KY. Not knowing if the cancer was in total remission at the time,  I was invited to a healing service at a local church and was healed in one of their HEAlING SERVICES.

Am now actively re-engaged in the building of THE GATHERING PLACE.  Also, am now fulfilling the vow I made to GOD when He HEALED my broken emaciated body by availing myself to share GODS MIRACULOUS HEALING TESTIMONIAL from cancer...wherever HE may lead me to do so.  Please contact me at theContact info to schedule.

11 Chronicles 7:14  If my people will call on me I will hear their prayers from heaven and will heal their land! (paraphrased my own)
