Pastor Covey
Surviving Cancer (In His Own Words)
"It was May of 2001 that I was informed by my doctor that I had
cancer As you can imagine this news came as a shock to me and my family. It was
even more of a shock to discover that I had an extremely aggressive,
fast-growing, cancer which had already gone well beyond an initial tumor. I was
already at stage three, going into stage four. The prognosis was that I had only
about 3-4 months to live. And, because my cancer had spread beyond the original
site, my surgeon fully expected it to re-occur elsewhere in my body. Over the
years he thought that the cancer had spread to my bladder and to my throat.
Although both of these fears proved to be false, it does serve as a reminder
that the tough thing about cancer is that it sort of takes over your life once
it strikes. Having refused chemo-therapy & radiation, on the advice of my
medical specialist a few weeks following my surgery I went on a total vegetarian
diet and a complete lifestyle change.
Within a month of these changes I began to notice a slight
improvement in my sense of well-being. And within a couple months it was obvious
my strength was returning and with it a much greater sense of well-being. My
cancer-count initially was checked every 3 months but now twice yearly. Instead
of getting sicker I have gotten better. It is now 7 years since my cancer & I
have spent the last several winters enjoying downhill skiing and have lots of
energy and feel very well."
Carleton Baptist
Church
Pastor Covey and the members of Carleton
Baptist Church have been meeting in a day care facility in Ottawa for several
years. A few years ago the church was given the opportunity to purchase a
piece of land outside of Ottawa. The Lord's Hand was obviously in the land
purchase. The price Carleton Baptist paid for the land was a fraction of
the going price for real estate in that area. Since the purchase of the
land the church has been doing what many of our churches have to do...fighting
red tape and raising funds to build. After years of dealing with
provincial and municipal government regulations, the church if ready to begin
site preparation and then build! They have announced their
"Pathway
Project" to let churches and individuals know the need and see the vision for
the new building. I trust you will join me in praying for the Coveys and
the people of Carleton Baptist Church. As you have time, visit their web
