Lay Pastor: Rev. Deborah Gibbs

The Beacon of Hope Cancer Ministry was established to provide support (i.e., survivors’ support as well as the caregivers) education and care for patients diagnosed with cancer. Ministry works in partnership with the Arise Ministry to build a cohesive ministry that will be a sounding board to provide all survivors the support they need and desire through their journey.

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month

The Mt. Jezreel Beacon of Hope Cancer Care Ministry is proud to participate in the National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Remember, despite progress, cancer is still a leading cause of death. Men and Women are asked to please wear PINK on Sunday, October 27, 2024, to show your support for those who have had or are going through Breast Cancer currently. You may also choose to wear another color to show support for those with other cancer diagnoses. See chart below.
