The mission of Stronghold Ministry is to reach cancer patients, their networks, and others in life crisis with love, comfort, and the good news of Jesus Christ. Stronghold Ministry was founded to provide spiritual support and comfort to cancer patients, caretakers, and others in a major life crisis. Outreach is through the internet, books, support groups, training seminars, retreats, conferences, and workshops.
Stronghold Ministry sent 3171 gift baskets free of charge to cancer patients. Contents include a large canvas tote; 3 books on coping with cancer by co-founders, Joe & Terri Fornear; 2 wristbands; and a $15 Subway gift card.

Phone calls - We averaged 8-10 calls per week from cancer patients or caretakers who ask for support. We have a monthly email newsletter called, In His Grip, which is sent to 8000 cancer patients and caretakers each month. We also post these emails as blog posts on our website - http://www.mystronghold.org/blog. Many patients and caretakers respond to these emails for further help, prayer and support. Hospital and home visits upon request.
