In this episode of “God-sized Stories with Patricia Holbrook,” we are joined by Reverend Percy McCray Jr. to shed light on the profound connection between faith and cancer care ministry. With over 20 years of experience at City of Hope, a leading cancer care ministry program, Rev. McCray has dedicated his life to providing spiritual and emotional support to cancer patients and caregivers.

One of the core messages from this episode is Rev. McCray’s conviction that cancer care is a divine calling. He passionately emphasizes the significance of faith in the journey of cancer treatment, not just for those who already have a strong faith, but also for individuals who find themselves turning to spirituality for the first time when faced with a cancer diagnosis.

Ministering to Different Faiths

Even though its curriculum and staff are Christian believers, City of Hope is a faith-friendly organization and it extends spiritual support to individuals of all faith backgrounds. This inclusive approach ensures that patients and caregivers receive the emotional and spiritual support they need, regardless of their beliefs.

Rev. McCray and Patricia address the misconception that illness, including cancer, is a result of personal sin or a lack of faith. Emphasizing the importance of a balanced understanding of the gospel, they bring forth biblical examples that dispel common misinformed judgments.
