About Stronghold Ministry

Stronghold Ministry provides spiritual support and comfort to cancer patients, caretakers and others in crisis. Founded in 2008 by Joe and Terri Fornear, we reach out through personal contact, emails and phone. In 2003, Joe and Terri Fornear experienced a life-threatening battle with Joe’s Stage IV metastatic melanoma cancer. The Lord was their Stronghold – holding on to them when they were too weak to hang on to Him. And now they want to be in your corner!
