Some reasons we answered the call to join OJOH (Our Journey of Hope)

• “the need is great” – so many individuals are impacted by cancer
• wanting to give back, as we and/or our loved ones received wonderful support during cancer journeys
• making sure those with cancer, their loved ones and their caregivers know that they are not alone
• wanting to contribute our skills/expertise to a worthy cause such as OJOH (Our Journey of Hope)

Our Team

2 Trained Cancer Care Ministers work directly with the people we serve (patients, caregivers, loved ones)

30 Support Team Members who have been trained on all the aspects of cancer care.

What Do We Do?

All Cancer Care Team Members are volunteers who receive intensive, valuable training and instruction. OLCOC Cancer Care Ministry requires unique insights, both into the disease and into God’s Word. Through specialized training, these volunteers are equipped to provide valuable guidance, support, encouragement and hope in a meaningful and useful way. We believe that no one should have to navigate cancer alone and we would be honored to share the journey with you. If you or a loved one (family or friends) are battling cancer or you are a caregiver or family member of someone who is please contact us.
