Priscilla McGruder has not felt well for several weeks. She has been undergoing numerous tests. Today it was confirmed that she has cancer!
The tests reveal that the cancer is in her liver, ribs, shoulder and femur bone. Her chemotherapy will begin a week from Monday. She and Carroll are very strong in their faith!!! Nothing the doctors said to them today weakened their resolve! She told the doctors she has been here before! They have put their trust in God!!
Please remember this incredible lady of God in your prayers!!
So sad to hear. She's a great lady.
Both Bro & Sisi M were at our camp meeting while she was still pretty much bald. She wore hats and I rememer Brother M joking about not starting a new sect of hat wearers. Some of the ladies at the meeting wore hats just to show their support.
One thing that stuck in my mind about Bro. M's testimony was the cost of the drugs she had to take. It was quite expensive. I pray they don't find the finances too much of a burden along with the sickness as well.
Sis. M also did a ladies retreat I attended and was wonderful.

James 2
12 So whenever you speak, or whatever you do, remember that you will be judged by the law of love, the law that set you free. 13 For there will be no mercy for you if you have not been merciful to others. But if you have been merciful, then God's mercy toward you will win out over his judgment against you.

Something I love about Sis. McGruder is that she never has changed a bit. And it's not a show...
Her genuinity is indeed self evident.
Some may not know, but the McGruder's ministry is far greater than Oneness Pentecostals and the UPC.
They have ministered in many denominations, and Bro McGruder has preached at AOG Men's Conferences.
Just recently he preached and they both sang at our local Assembly of God.
He spoke openly about his "own UPC denomination" and thanked my wife and I for being bold enough to go on a television show.
The McGruders are loved by many, and they will be in prayer for this precious sister.

I am a firm believer in the Old Paths
Articles on such subjects as "The New Birth," will be accepted, whether they teach that the new birth takes place before baptism in water and Spirit, or that the new birth consists of baptism of water and Spirit. - THE PENTECOSTAL HERALD Dec. 1945
"It is doubtful if any Trinitarian Pentecostals have ever professed to believe in three gods, and Oneness Pentecostals should not claim that they do." - Daniel Segraves

Yes I knew that.. and I'm proud of them for it.

I sent my mom an email telling her about Sis McGruder, as she thinks so highly of her as well.
And I said Mom.. I sometimes don't understand God. Sis McGruder is such a beautiful lady, inside and out.
And my mom replied with these words...
"God isn’t like us at all. He has reasons for everything but expects us to walk by faith.
First century Christians were thrown to lions etc – no medical care or expressions of love and comfort to ease the transition
Eternity is something we have a hard time grasping.
Great cloud of witnesses that God keeps his word. He loves Sis McGruder as much as these

Abraham
Moses
Joshua
David
Matthew
Mark

Peter
Paul

Thousands of thousands whose names aren’t known to us but God has then all in his Lamb’s Book of Life"
God is Good, and my Mom always has the words I need to hear it seems!
Today Priscilla began her chemotherapy treatments. The doctors also reported that she is in stage four of her cancer.
We know that these words are from humans and God has the final say...so we Stand On His Word!!!!!
Thank you so much for your encouraging notes and words for Priscilla! But MOST of ALL for your prayers! She is resting comfortably at home tonight...strong in her faith!
We ask you to limit your contact with them to cards and letters. I know that you respect that this is physically and emotionally an intense time.
We so appreciate your outpouring of love and concern!
