WILLS POINT, TX – When a family is worn down by illness, Christ’s compassion can feel near through simple acts of care. This story follows a pastor who prayed, visited the hospital and helped two boys care for their father. It shows how steady presence can speak deeply to people facing fear, sorrow and heavy needs.
Adan and Davi were late again. But at least the boys had actually made it to school this time. Hard as they tried, the brothers couldn’t always accomplish their housework quickly enough to go to school like the other kids did. But then, the other kids probably weren’t caring for a dad with cancer.
Praying for Deliverance
Brothers Adan (pictured top left) and Davi (pictured top right) became their father’s primary caregivers at a young age. When Ikem (pictured bottom second from left) became too sick to work, Aitana (pictured bottom second from right) took a job abroad to provide for their family.
For 14-year-old Adan and 13-year-old Davi, the reality of their father’s diagnosis hung over their lives as surely as the frequent rain clouds that hung over the mountains outside their house. First, the cancer had stolen Ikem’s ability to talk. Then, as it spread, it stole his ability to move freely, making it impossible for him to work.
