Hope everyone had a great week! I wanted to give you an update on Darrin Clock…
I have been in regular contact with him regarding his and his daughter's battle with Cancer. As you know, Katee's surgery went well and now she is undergoing Chemotherapy treatment along with Darrin.
It is hard to imagine having to fight your own terminal illness, but having it compounded by news that your daughter has cancer as well…it is almost unimaginable. We are however encouraged to hear news of progress in both of their treatments. Just weeks ago, Doctors gave Darrin little chance of survival past 6 months, but Darrin never stopped hoping. He notified me today that there was even a small shrinkage of the cancer when he visited his Oncologist yesterday. The Doctors are absolutely baffled! Praise the Lord and the glory be to Him!
So many of you have asked what can be done to help. Frankly, there is a financial need. With ongoing medical treatment there is mounting medical bills and a great deal of missed work. Even the most prepared person can find themselves in a situation where they need help financially because of circumstances way beyond their control. This is one of those times…
Imagine for a moment that you need to get several (highly priced) prescriptions filled per week. Now multiply it by two. Now factor in the fact that you need to miss one day per week because of Chemotherapy. This doesn't include the time you may miss because you feel so sick you can't work the following day. Bottom line is; it compounds and it is expensive.
Darrin has never asked for money, but I know it is rapidly becoming a concern. If you are able to help, I am asking for your support on Darrin's behalf. As Doug has said, we need to pray like it was us that were sick and I think we need to give that way as well. If it is in your heart to help, on Sunday, please put in the offering under benevolence "Darrin Clock" in addition to your regular tithe/offering and we will make sure it gets directly to him. There is a fund that has been established at Castle Rock Bank with full disclosure for contributors. It is important to Darrin that people can see where the money is going.
Thanks fellas! Talk to you soon!

Thank you for posting your article about Darrin Clock. He continues to fight the cancer, but can use all the help he can get.
I work with Darrin and have seen how he fights this cancer everyday. It's been wonderful to see all of the support that Darrin receives! Thanks!
