Write to us and tell us your story today.

Stronghold Ministry was founded in 2008 by Joe and Terri Fornear to provide spiritual support and comfort to cancer patients, caretakers and others in major life crisis. We reach out through personal contact, the internet and via telephone. Please don't hesitate to refer someone who needs some spiritual help!

Our passion to support cancer patients is borne out of the battle that Joe had with Stage IV metastatic melanoma. Joe had been a pastor for 12 years when he was diagnosed in 2002. In May of 2003, doctors gave him just "days to live," but since August of 2003, he has been cancer free. The Lord provided Joe a miraculous healing. He also provided supernatural strength to handle the battle since it was far beyond Joe's natural abilities. This explains our name, Stronghold, which comes from the many Old Testament references to the Lord who can be our strength, refuge and security in times of trouble. Our message is that when we are losing our grip, no matter what we are going through, the Lord is our Stronghold. Read more on Joe's story here.
