| Sam is 9 yrs old - a happy big brother of two little sisters. In early August Sam was diagnosed with a rare form of bone cancer. The cancer has spread to other areas in Sam's body. In October, Sam's right leg was amputated to stop the spreading. He is currently undergoing chemotherapy at Nationwide Children's Hospital and will undergo more surgeries to remove cancer cells. His parents, Mike and Cindy, are grateful for all the love, support and prayers they have been receiving during this time. Let's help keep a smile on Sam's face. Let's help the Bish family know they have a second family they can count on - the family of God. Here's how you can help. |

Never underestimate the power of prayer. Pray for God to heal, comfort and give peace to Sam and his family during this time. Pray for the doctors that are treating him and the nursing staff that is caring for him. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective. James 5:16b |
