Kent Dungan has recently learned that he is in full remission from blood cancer!

The treatment has been difficult, but Kent and Patti are so grateful that the prognosis is better, and they appreciate your prayers that he will continue to stay in remission and that his bones will be strong and intact.Read More -

The Answer to Prayers
“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives; and the one who seeks, finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. Which one of you would hand his son a stone when he asks for a loaf of bread, or a snake when he asks for a fish? If you then, who are wicked, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give good things to those who ask him."
- Matthew 7: 7-11
