Friends, family, Mitch’s story is different now than it was months ago. We were talking then about the size of tumors and all of that at that time we were talking about 21 months we aren’t talking about that anymore. It becomes more clear every day that Mitch’s time is growing very short. The time he has here is difficult now. Many days it is hard for him to communicate even to those he is closest to so please read the following with understanding that time is short. Please consider giving and sharing with that in mind. Even the video shared above was from a few weeks ago when he was much clearer, he is not that way now. Keep this in mind. Blessings to you all and thank you for reading this.

We have told you what Mitch said when the doctors told him he was dying?

He said: “I know with clarity that God has graced me with this disease. Every morning I wake up wondering who God will allow me to comfort today. I am comforted in my cancer.”

All along Mitch has recognized the mercy of God in the middle of suffering. Where most people see only loss, Mitch sees purpose. Where others see tragedy, Mitch sees an opportunity to comfort someone else with the same comfort God is giving him.

But here is the part he cannot carry alone—and the part that brings us here.

Mitch is dying, and his greatest burden is not his cancer. It is his wife. He is leaving behind a godly, faithful woman who has walked every step of this journey with him. She is the love of his life. She is his partner in every sense of the word. And as Mitch’s strength fades and the reality of his limited time becomes clearer, one fear keeps rising above all others: “What will happen to her when I am gone?”

Mitch wants one final gift to provide a safe, stable home for his wife when he passes away. A place she will not have to worry about paying for or losing. This is his dying wish.

A Note About the Book Mitch Is Writing

Alongside this, many of you know that Mitch was in the middle of writing a powerful book titled Loss, Comfort, and Blessing, When God Makes Sense of Suffering. This book is already ministering to countless people, even in its draft form. Before it can be completed and prepared for publication. This Laurie speaking now, I am the sponsor of this go fund me, and I am Mitch’s editor for his book. We had hoped and planned for Mitch to make one more trip to Florida to finish the book off. With the new issues he sustained that didn’t happen. It now appears that we are going to have to make some changes in how the book is completed. I am committed to seeing his book published because I worked with him and saw his heart poured into it. I am not sure he will be able to do anymore on it. I do know that it’s possible to get it finished for about $3000. The only way I see that happening is to use $3000 from this fund to do it. Mitch has been so sick. I have not even had an opportunity to speak with him about this. I’m praying to be able to do that. I need you to provide that $3000 so that he can say yes to this offer that we have but he doesn’t even know about right now to get his book finished published and marketed as he would want it done. It ensures that Mitch’s voice, faith, and testimony will continue blessing others long after he is gone.

What the Funds Will Be Used For

- Securing a home for Mitch’s wife (down payment, purchase, or long-term housing stability)

- Ensuring she has the resources she needs once Mitch is no longer here

- Covering immediate housing-related costs as the two of them prepare for the future

- Funding the completion, publication, and marketing of Mitch’s book Loss, Comfort, and Blessing; When God Makes Sense of Suffering which will in turn provide income for Lisa in the future

- Giving Mitch the peace of knowing both his wife and his ministry legacy will be cared for

Why This Matters

Mitch has spent his entire life comforting others—through ministry, through quiet wisdom, through simply being the man God made him to be. And even now, as he is dying, he is still trying to comfort others. His body is weakening. His future is short. But his faith is strong, and his desire is simple: “Lord, let my loss become comfort for someone else.”

Today, we get to comfort him.

Your Gift Will Give Mitch Something Priceless …

If You Cannot Give

Thank you for loving him in this season. Thank you for carrying what he can no longer carry alone.
