GCI pastor Doug Johannsen reports that Jonah Skrove, a 16-year-old member in one of Doug’s congregations in Minnesota, recently had to have his leg amputated due to bone cancer.

We think you’ll enjoy reading the inspiring story of Jonah’s resiliency and good humor in a trying situation as told in a Children’s Cancer Research Fund blog post at htttp://www.childrenscancer.org/main/latest/the_best_medicine/.

  1. Dear Jonah,

    You are an inspiration to all of us. Just love that red nose 🙂 We will be praying for you as you continue to encourage those around you. Keep smiling, buddy.

    All the best,
    Santiago Lange

  2. You are giving a wonderful example Jonah. Appreciated reading about you and also seeing the picture and being impressed by the light and joy coming from your eyes. Your condition and relationship with God makes me think of a paraphrase of the scriptural passage that “Once God has caused you to experience life and have an ongoing relationship with him, you can be assured of ‘movement’ in his presence forever”. Psalm 121 (New Life Version)
