  1. My double mastectomy is Monday and I have so much fear and anxiety. I sent for this gift to help ease my mind and to have something to read during recovery but I have not been able to put the books down. Thank you thank you thank you a thousand times!!! I still have anxiety but it has been eased to the point that I don’t have fear. I appreciate you so much and the way God has chosen to use you. God Bless you both!!!

    • Praying for you and your surgery today, Brenda! We are SO blessed to hear how the Lord has used our books to lighten your load! May the Lord render you cancer and complication free soon. Bless you and keep in touch.
      You’re always in His Grip,

  2. I received the gift from my Sister in Law a few days ago. Im truly blessed to have received something at such the right time. I have a small surgery this upcoming week and reading the book and knowing I have others who think of me and pray for me made me feel at ease. I’m currently going through chemo treatments (cycle 3 out of 12) and I met a few people (3) who might appreciate this gift. Although I don’t know them too well to send each a basket I was wondering if there’s a way to request 3 and give them each one when I go back to my chemo sessions or how can I do this? I know they will appreciate it a lot. I’ve heard some of their journeys and I know they will love the books. Mary (one of the 3 patients) will definitely love the tote bag. She adored mine when I took it on Thursday. It’s great for my blanket, water bottle and snacks. My chemo session are 6-7 hours long. Twice a week every 2 weeks.

    • We’d love to connect further with you about your fellow warriors, Juan. I’ll email you. Praying for you and these folks

  7. I received your wonderful gift basket and must tell you what an inspiration it was to me. I used the gift card to order head coverings since I’ve lost my hair. All the written material was very helpful. Gods blessings to you all.

    • Thanks for writing, Brenda, and glad you like the gift basket! Bless you in reading and prayers for your journey – the Lord is with you!

    • Hi Kimberly, Thanks for writing and I understand what you’re saying. There are a lot of things humans can’t do or cure, but Jesus did say that what is impossible with man is possible with God. This is part of the definition of a miracle. I believe and my doctors believe I had a miracle to be cured – 19 years now of advanced Stage IV metastatic melanoma. It had spread to thirteen different sites and they gave me “days to live” in 2003. More here – https://www.mystronghold.org/joe-fornears-cancer-journey/
      We all will die at some point so we do need to be prepared for that day. My thoughts on this here: https://www.mystronghold.org/the-two-ways-to-heaven/
      Would love to talk or email more if you’d like – let me know. Prayers for you.

  10. I am really looking forward to the messages. I was recently diagnosed and the doctor says I have a long road ahead of me. Which is fine I am use to long and hard roads. With that being said I am finding myself getting mad at God and I don’t even know why. He didn’t give me cancer and I know He is the only one that can get me through this. So I shouldn’t be mad at him.

    • Hi Tanya, so glad to connect, we’re sending our gift basket to you this week. Prayers that the Lord will intervene and grant you 100% healing soon. He can do it. You know, it could be that you’re being tempted to be mad at God. We can be flooded by temptations and then the devil can turn around and blame us for it. Sounds like you’re actively fighting off the temptation. I like to read he book of Job which shows how we can grieve what we’re losing or what we lost and still trust God’s goodness and love. Praying for your faith!

  11. Thanks, I’m am fighting stage 4 prostate cancer 7 month ago only gave me 30 days to live. As you see I not given up

      • Thanks won’t give up got 3 teenagers and wife. My wife having tough time as you see I’m dealing with cancer and so is her sister, Thanks for the gift and God Bless you.

      • As a Christian, I do not fear death. I embrace the better life of be no suffering. However, this is my DAD. The rules do not apply. Haha the doctors face said it all in April 2020. I’m not certain the doctors expected him to make it thru the first radiation and chemo. but he did. They kept looking for the cancer, biopsies, collapsed lungs, and they still could t find it. I know my god healed him. Even if it was just for a few more months or years. ☺️ I’m grateful. I’m also grateful for your ministry. Mag God bless you and keep you! Amen !

        • Your dad is truly blessed to have a daughter who fights and cares for him as much as you, Jessica! Praying your dad will be 100% healed; certainly God can do it and trusting that He will as well!
          Bless you too!

  20. Thank you for the gift bag. I have already finished Joe’s book, and the Subway card came in very hand for lunch between the many many appointments I’ve had in the last four months. I’m sitting here post-surgery with the assurance the whole tumor is out and gone. I still have radiation and other treatments ahead. I’ve ordered a basket for my uncle who was diagnosed a week before my surgery with Stage IV lung cancer that has riddled his body. Doctors are saying 6mos. I know Jehovah Rapha is greater than cancer and can heal him. Thank you for faithfully encouraging those of us walking this path.

    • Hi Carol, so glad you like your gift basket! Prayers for your recovery and future treatment to have max impact and low side fx! And Amen, the Lord can definitely heal any stage cancer at any time! So I pray with you all for your uncle’s healing as well.
      In His Grip,
      Joe Fornear

  21. Hi. I just wanted to let you know I received your gift bag. It’s fantastic. I’ve started reading through the books and very much appreciate the subway card. Thank you Soo much

    • Hi Barb, You’re so welcome and glad you like your gift basket! Prayers and love and blessings on you from His mighty Hand!
      -Joe Fornear

  22. Thank you so much for the care package from stronghold ministry. I needed that shared love and the books. I will enjoy the subway gift card. That was a nice surprise. I didn’t realize that would be included. I am 3rd Stage Colon Cancer. I just had my 4th chemo treatment out of 12. I already had the resection surgery back in July. Just taking things one day at a time. I have received and acknowledge the daily blessings God has placed in front of me. I pray I can be witness to someone going through the same situation.

    • Hi Cindy, glad you like your gift basket! Prayers for max impact and low side fx for the treatments and surgery. It’s in our weakness that He shines through us the most!
      We have a Facebook prayer group called, Stronghold Ministry Healing Prayer if you’re on Facebook. It’s here. Keep us posted!

  23. My husband received his gift basket 2 days ago. He has read one book and is on the second. I have written the Lords Prayer on a piece of paper and I am claiming the promise just as your wife did. Thank you so much.

    • SO glad you wrote in, Susan, and glad you like the gift basket books! Blessings and prayers for total healing and supernatural strength and peace for both of you!
      In His Grip,
      Joe Fornear

      • We are still struggling. My husband has 1st and 2nd degree burns on his neck and chest. They had to stop radiation for 12 days. We saw the radiation oncologist today, and I thought we had decided that we weren’t going to do the last 3, yet the radiation oncologist talked my husband right into it. I am overwhelmed, stressed and full of anxiety. All which I know my Lord says is wrong. I am the one cleaning and debriding the dead skin off two times a day, applying new medicine and new dressing. Now I will explain my husband is a surgeon so it isn’t like the radiation oncologist pulled the wool over his eyes. He understood all of the lingo. And…. I have been a Surgery nurse for 30+ years so I at least know how to take care of his wound. The difference is when there is a personal connection it is the hardest thing you have ever done. I touch it and this man who hunts Bear in Alaska and Elk in New Mexico cries. But at the end of the day I believe in BOMBARDING Heaven with prayer for Healing. Not just from us, but everyone I know who knows how to pray and reach the throne of the Father. So I ask that you and your team remember one more family in Charleston, WV in your prayers.

        • Dear Susan, SO sorry for all of that pain with the radiation wounds. And it is so stretching when the Lord allows brand new situations that we “think” we should be able to handle. We so need Him constantly. Weakness and being overwhelmed is horrible, I hate it, but but this is where HE says His power and grace flourish. Most recent blog is on this here. Praying the Lord will lead you and move this mountain as we pray!
          We have a Facebook prayer group called, Stronghold Ministry Healing Prayer if you’re on Facebook. It’s here. Keep us posted!
          You are in His Grip,
          Joe Fornear

          • Wrote you twice in October regarding my husband receiving your books, his cancer and subsequent radiation burns. God is good. He will be one year out from surgery in two weeks. PET scans are normal, had his fourth laryngoscopy today and it was normal. Skin from radiation burns has healed completely. You know God is really good. I requested a basket tonight for a dear friend of ours daughter in law. We know just how much your story meant to us. Thank you.

          • So great to hear, Susan, that your husband is doing so well – God is definitely good. And glad you were blessed by our gift basket and requested on for your daughter’s DIL. Praying for her healing and peace now. Feel free to spread the word to others you encounter as well!
            Blessings and prayers for ongoing health for you all!

  34. My dad had cancer in his lung, it started back in 8/2014, then in 5/17 they found it in the other lung, he had surgery and they advised, he done 4 chemo. Every 21 days. Finished it in January of 2018. They done pet scan and found it in his colon. Had surgery, it was in 3 of 12 lymph nodes. So went yesterday to chemo Dr and he said 6 months of chemo. So we are going today to a Dr for a port. He is 78, please pray spirits get lifted, this really hit him hard yesterday. We just lost my step dad 3/28/18 to cancer. Had no clue he had it, he was 65. When we found out, we put on Inhospital hospice on Sunday and he passed away Wednesday morning. We all camped out together, when my step mother passed away from 12 years ago from cancer at 62. Not many daughters can say they fished between there dad and step dad and my husband. We had some very good times. I am blessed! Please pray for my dad!

    • Wow, Dianna, you and your family have been through so much. Praying for your dad now, for the Lord to lift his spirits and to help his body handle the chemo. SO sorry about the loss of your your step dad and pray for comfort for you and all of your family. Love how you cherish the good memories of fishing together – sounds like a special time!
      Bless you and I see you filled out our gift basket request form for your dad, we’ll send next week.
      In His Grip,
      Joe Fornear

She received one of your bags…I found hope and peace in one of the books. I hope my brother and sister in-law can find the same hope I found. Thank you for being obedient to God and sending hope to all that need it.

  37. I am requesting for prayer and a gift basket for my good friend Bill, who is battling multiple myeloma at MD Andersen. He is a believer, and knows about the power of prayer.

    Thanks so much for what you do!

  38. I got a bag both for my mom and my dad they both are battling cancer my mom has malignant melanoma stage 4 and my dad had stage 4 non- Hodgkins lymphoma he is in remission but he has a severe brain injury from chemo brain, I’m only 19 this not only hard on me their eldest daughter but it is hard on my older brother and little sister. Is there any way you could help us as their children to cope with what’s going on.

    • Honored to help you fight, Dian! We’re sending you a gift basket soon, and praying for the Lord to make you very aware of His constant presence with you in big and small ways. Watch for this prayer to be answered TODAY. And asking Him for total healing for you as well. There are private and secret groups on Facebook with people who are fighting same types of cancer. Are you on FB? Let me know if you need help.
      In His Grip,

  40. My Father passed away after battling cancer for years. I now have a close friend that has throat cancer he also has battled for years. I would like to ask for prayers for Mr. Sam Morris. God Bless each and everyone. Thank You.

    • So sorry, Leland, about your dad. For sure, prayers for Sam right now. I see we sent him a gift basket last week.
      Bless you for caring,
      Joe Fornear

  41. Thank you for the gift basket. Reading the books have been helpful helping me understand why God has brought me this pain, after being born with a rare chronic kidney disease, raising children alone after divorce, and other trials in life. I gave my life to the Lord many years ago, and said , ” I am your servant do with me what you will”. He brought me to a clinic to save the unborn with my ultrasound skills. Being taken away from my work for the Lord showing these girls their babies has been confusing as that was my calling. Now I realize ,after reading My Stronghold, he has another calling . I am not sure what he wants from me now so I shall pray for him to guide me. I certainly have time to pray while finishing chemo. I keep my crocheting supplies in the Stronghold carry bag. (THE BAG has gone to Chemo, dr appointments , and even to TX for Christmas for a visit to MD ANDERSON. )
    Thank you for your work. I need to talk to God more as I drifted away during my cancer fight. I was losing my faith, and questioned death, God, and heaven. I felt I was already in hell. My faith was so strong, how could these thoughts even come to my mind. Now I have a better understanding and hopefully can get back on the right track again. GOD BLESS YOUR MINISTRY.

    • Glad you wrote, Kathryn, and found your gift basket helpful! been thinking about Job, he was not doing much wrong in life, in fact God was bragging about his faithfulness. Yet God allowed Job to be severely tested so that he would be strengthened and blessed even more in the end! He will guide you in your next step after testing. I’m sure He will use and bless you even more!
      Thanks for blessings and kind words,
      Joe Fornear

  43. Thanks for doing this. My wife got the news she had breast cancer the day before Thanksgiving of this year (2017) four days later I found out I have cancer in my Lymph-nodes in my neck.

    • Oh my, Wayne, so sorry to hear for both of you! Lifting you both up and asking Him to give you both total healing and supernatural strength! If it’s any consolation we have had 27 couples since we started counting about five years ago who are BOTH fighting at the same time! At least you know you’re not alone. Let me know if you’d like to discuss with one of those couples, or if you’d like to talk or pray over the phone. Our info is on our contact page – http://www.mystronghold.org/contact/ We’re in your corner!

  47. This is just what I needed to see today. I’ve been fighting colon cancer for 2 and 1/2 years, twice in that time. I’ve been on chemo the whole time, had numerous surgeries. Some days I feel so defeated and there have been a lot of them lately. I can’t wait to get this and start reading the books. Thank you for everything you do!

    • Glad you found us, Jennifer! You’ve been at it for a while which makes it more wearisome. So I’m asking Him to grant you total healing and supernatural strength direct from His hand. Hope our books help! Sending your gift basket tomorrow! Blessings!

  49. Thank you for your ministry!! You have blessed so many of my friends with your heartfelt outreach and help.
    I requested a basket for my sister Jean in Wisconsin. Just wanted you to know that she will be in DFW visiting me in just two weeks, so if you would like to save some money on shipping, we could pick up the basket at BTBF.
    Thanks again and God bless,
    Nancy

    • It’s a privilege for us to help folks along in their journey, Nancy! I saw your request and we’ll be at Bent Tree this Sunday at the cancer support group right after the 2nd service in Frisco Corner. Far right of lobby facing auditorium. If we don’t meet you there, we’ll just ship on Tuesday, but hope to meet you there. Please let me know that you got this message.

  52. Hi, just received my Gift Basket, cannot wait to read the books, still shocked from Stage 3 colon cancer, getting my feet wet returning back to work part time. Thank you so much, I have several friends living with cancer that I will refer, not sure how I will use my journey to inspire others, I am collecting books for women’s cancer support group and after I read these I will share. Thanks again, I will try to call in soon.
