Help for Joel Royce and Family

Donation protected
On February 10th, while shopping at the grocery store, pastor, TRCS PE Teacher, Football coach and dad of seven, Joel Royce, suffered what appeared to be acute onset Bells Palsy.

After getting to the hospital, the MRI results showed a mass in his brain, 2cm to 3cm. The tumor or infection (they called it a lesion) is pushing against Joel's brain, which cause his symptoms of slurred speech, numbness in arms, short-term memory, loss, and seizure.

Joel's diagnosis of Glioblastoma is incurable -- but he's fighting it with gusto and aiming for as much time as possible with his family.

After 11 months of fighting, Joel is needing to take a step back from some pastoral duties, resulting in additional financial hardship for his family.

Please pray for Joel and the Royce family.  The fundraising goal is a starting point for helping with travel costs, medical expenses, and lost wages.  If you're able to give financially, this will go directly to them to help!

Joel says:
"Romans 15:13 NIV - I trust in God and His good will.  Pray for operable possibilities, provision, and peace for my bride. Leslie, and my wonderful children.  Pray that whatever my prognosis is, God is glorified in us thru it. Even with this nearly worst case news, He's a good, good Father!"
