Here is a letter I got from Jana (Brewer) Disney regarding her father's (Roscoe Brewer) health and challenges that await him. Gordon asked that I share this letter with each of you.

Sheila
=========================================================

As I write you, my heart aches to tell you that my father, Roscoe Brewer, has found out that his cancer has returned. As you know, he had 40% of his liver removed last year. The doctors felt confident they got all of the cancer then and we were all moving ahead with that knowledge. However, we just received a report this month that he now has cancer in three of the lymph nodes around his pancreas. The doctors have said that this cancer is rare and they do not give him many options. Surgery is risky and his immune system is very low. They do not feel it is the way to go. They have said that chemo would only extend his life for about two months and Dad does not want to go through chemo.

We have prayed, asked questions and researched and as a family have encouraged him to pursue an intense immunotherapy program. This is a program that cleanses the body, balances the nutrients in order to keep the immune system active and fighting off anything that would invade the cells. Cancer cannot live in an alkaline environment and this program gets your alkalinity balanced. We, his children, all believe this is what he needs more than anything. Dad has agreed that this will be his best option to possibly reverse the cancer and put it in remission at the best, and at the very least, extend his life. His doctor has said for him to try it and they will do another cat scan in a few months and see if it has helped. This treatment has worked for many around the world. The doctors have told him unless something changes he only has six months to a year to live. We have hope that with this treatment God can reverse this cancer and extend his life. Our faith is in God and we know He is sovereign and we trust Him completely with dad’s life. My dad feels he still has so much to do and so much to give.

He is being consulted by a certified nutritionist that has worked with countless cancer patients for many years. Many doctors send their cancer patients to her, because of the miraculous results. She has recommended a program specifically for cancer and asked that dad stay on the program for a period of 18 months. Our goal is to build his immune system, detoxify his major organs and feed his body with concentrated amounts of nutrition. My sister in law used this method last year for cancer and she is now cancer free. I know it works!

As we got into all that is involved with the immunotherapy program, Dad and Mom realized it was going to be much more expensive than they had anticipated. This therapy is not covered by Medicare or insurance. They simply cannot afford to continue the therapy at this rate. I do not know where else to turn. We need help and I know Dad has may friends that love him and I am praying that he will have some of those rally around him and help him to be able to complete this treatment program.

In order for us to get this accomplished, he is going to need a minimum of $5,000.00 each month. The 18 month expense is a total of approximately $90,000.00. If we could get 100 of his friends to donate $50.00 each month for 18 months (a total donation of $900.00 per family), I think we could make this work. One time gifts of any amount are needed as well, and will help them to be able to get through this 18 month treatment. No gift is too small. Any amount given will help them right now!

If there are any friends of Roscoe Brewer out there that have been influenced in any way by his life and ministry, would you consider helping him at this time. Every little bit is going to help him to be able to afford the treatment that he needs. I know we can make this work and they are feeling so positive and optimistic that this could save his life.

Even more than that, we need everyone to flood heaven with your prayers for his healing. I do not feel as though God is finished with him yet! There are too many miraculous events taking place in our ministry, EPIC International, right now. I truly believe that God has more years planned for him. We need to use the wisdom that has been given to us now and work on getting his body healthy and healed so he can continue on.

If anyone would like to make a contribution toward helping Roscoe and Margaret with his treatment program, you can make your check payable to EPIC International. Attach a note saying it is for the “Founder’s project”. You will receive a tax deduction for your donation and Roscoe will receive the benefit of the funds to help him continue the treatment, as well as, the great encouragement he will feel knowing so many are standing with him and asking God for complete healing. Please include a note of encouragement and assurance of your prayers if you can. It will mean so much as they walk through this valley.

Greetings YA Family,

It has been two months since our great weekend together so I thought I should communicate my feelings about the reunion. Please do not conclude that my delay reflects a lack of interest or continued excitement. Immediately after the reunion Dottie and I spent a month visiting our friends on the East Coast in Tenn., South Carolina. New Jersey and New York. I also had a great visit with my two brothers Fred and Bob. It was great to challenge them concerning their spiritual condition and praise the Lord they were open and receptive. Please continue to pray for them.

As for my reflections on the reunion, they are powerful and personal. First: In my mind there can be no doubt that God took over Sheila’s marvelous efforts and turned them into a spiritual, Holy Spirit event. With the exception of a few mistakes which can easily be corrected, it was as near perfect as it could be.

Second: I think that we need some type of follow-up gathering. The suggestion has been two years from now. However, I do not think we should make it another reunion, but rather some type of planning conference concerning the future of the Youth Aflame movement. Folks who missed this time or folks who could not come for various reasons could join us and be reunited as we were, but primarily I believe that we need more time to visit, talk, and plan for a continuing relationship. We could pray together and break into interest groups, etc.

I was impressed that there was so much potential power in a unified effort of some kind. We need to know more about all the ministries and enterprises represented by all of us. Without sacrificing the autonomy of each ministry I think we can cooperate in many ways, and I think that we could generate funds to assist those who might need support. I think that we could perpetuate Youth Alive and support its participants.

Third: I would like to receive your comments on the reunion (example - See Nelson Keener’s comments on Facebook) as well as your input about the future. I do not want YA to be about me but rather about you and how you perceive the future. If I am not on target, then when we sell Lassen Pines, I will just proceed on my own to do what I can to help those of our crowd that needs help the most . Let me hear from you via E-mail (gordonluff@yahoo.com ) and title it YA reunion comments.
Fourth: I was blessed by the health of the ministry of TRBC and LU. How great it is that they are being led and staffed by Youth Aflame Alumni. Let us all promise to pray for Jerry Jr. and Jonathan daily.

Last: Dottie and I sincerely thank you for making the effort to come to the reunion. It was one of the greatest highlights of my life. We love all of you more than we know how to express and we pray for you everyday.

If you ever can get to Redding, please know you can be our guest at Lassen Pine any time from June to Sept.

Love:

Dottie and Gordon
