Greg Thomas believes it
is. Diagnosed with stage 4 head and neck
cancer he told his family to start planning his funeral. He quit his job and along with his dog
started taking daily walks.
On one walk he found a
deserted church at the end of a gravel road. He began asking about the church
and found out it was built in 1868 by Czech settlers and had not been used for
a congregation in more than a century. He was given permission to enter the
church for prayer. Inside he found a dust-covered museum in need of care. He
started removing the many layers of paint and making plans to repair the rotten
roof and floors.
Greg has been on a feeding
tube for three years but his cancer is in remission. The church has been feeding him spiritually
while he brings it back to life.
Greg is restoring the old
church but it is hard to say who’s saving whom.
