Steven Andrews, who has been preparing for “normal retirement” at the end of 2016, did not hesitate to reach out for prayers when he found himself facing a possible cancer diagnosis.
“That’s where my hope is - in the Lord,” said the fire services leader for Barnesville and Lamar County. Not only did Steve and family let fellow members of their church, Calvary Baptist, know what he might be facing, he also called friends in as many different churches as possible.

But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon Him; and with His stripes we are healed. Isaiah 53:5
