Our Journey of Hope
Our Journey of Hope is a spiritual outreach program of CTCA (Cancer Treatment Centers of America in Tulsa) for cancer patients and their families everywhere, whether they're our patients or not. The program has several components:
--A website, www.ourjourneyofhope.com, where we have weekly devotionals, monthly sermons, testimonials of people who've seen God at work in their cancer journey, articles and research that point to the impact faith has on the healing process, a prayer line, our lay ministry training and seminar calendar, and much more.
-- 8 hours of free lay ministry training we will provide at any church in the country for congregants, parish nurses, clergy, etc. to help them become more effective in ministering to cancer patients and their families. It is an awesome program, and we're getting excellent response.
-- Evening seminars on cancer-related topics at churches where we've trained people so that we can invite the general public into the church and hopefully relationships will be built between those who are unchurched and those who are.
