God will do what we cannot, if you want to cast the mountain into the sea you best show up with perseverance and a shovel. My story starts at the foot of this mountain with mustard seed faith and a wheelbarrow full of hope.

The feelings of abandonment have passed, but the shadows of death still linger in me. God is my righteous source of hope, and I will fear no evil. His rod and His staff provide comfort, and he is leading me beside the still water. God is with me in this journey. He has provided endless saints to pray for me. They are not aware of the comfort Ive felt as they have lifted me to the throne room of God. Truly His staff has rescued me, and His rod has corrected me. I am in the hands of an awesome God.

Peter Quinn was born in 1950. His family moved to Bonita Springs, Florida, in 1955, where he still resides. Peter married his high school sweetheart in 1969. Together they have five children and now have nineteen grandchildren. All five children are serving God in some ministry capacity. Peter worked as a plumbing contractor in his earlier years and was involved in planting a couple of local churches. Peter was the senior pastor of one of the churches for three years. He became president of Manna Christian Missions in 1987 and served in that capacity for twenty-four years. He is now the vice president, and his son, Michael, is the president.

Peter received a bachelor’s in missiology from Logos Bible College and served on the executive board of directors for Logos from 1996 until 2003. Peter was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2011. He had a colon resection and was assured he was cancer free. The doctors found no cancer in the lymph nodes or the colon. Three years later the same symptoms reappeared, necessitating another colon resection and was rediagnosed with terminal colon cancer and given three years to live.

This is Peter’s story and his struggle to reconcile his faith with the healing power of God.
