From the Heart of Rebekah Clough:
Patrick’s new full-time job is one he never anticipated: fighting cancer with every ounce of his strength, faith, and courage.
In early 2025, Patrick—my kind husband, my best friend, Dad to our children and Papa to our grand babies—was diagnosed with Stage 4 Mantle Cell Lymphoma. It’s aggressive. It’s rare. And medically, it’s terminal.
Back in the Fall of 2024, Patrick and I were both working in roles we enjoyed, surrounded by church family and serving in ways that brought purpose to our lives. We even had the joy of anticipating our son’s wedding, and a daughter delivering another grand baby. Life felt rich—full of love, gratitude, and promise. We often found ourselves saying, “We are so blessed; so grateful!”
But then things began to shift. In the span of 4 weeks, both Patrick and I lost our jobs. We’d been there before and seen God provide, but the stress that followed was significant. We leaned into remembering God’s lifelong faithfulness. And we began a season of searching, budgeting, and surviving—one day at a time. We tapped into our savings to stay afloat and leaned into our Heavenly Father, knowing He would make a way through the storm. He really does give streams in the desert. Isaiah 43:19.
By God’s grace, I started a new job at Delta Community Credit Union in November. I’m so grateful for the role and incredible team. My new job not only brings stability and a good distraction—it also provides the health insurance coverage that is now critical for us.
We know God hears and sees us. And we know he deeply cares for us. We’re asking Him for a miracle. But no matter what, we know, “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.” (Psalm 46:1). We know His path and timing are always best. So we’re going to rest in His will and His love.
Patrick’s life has been in service to others—through ministry, mentorship, friendship, and quiet acts of kindness. If you know him, you know he’s the one who shows up when others are in need. Now, we find ourselves on the other side of that equation. To be honest, we like to care for and serve others, and it is hard to need or receive help.
So today, we humbly make you aware of all this. Here are a few ways you can help.
Pray :
1. for God to completely heal Patrick, to do what science and medicine cannot do.
2. for us to leverage this opportunity to share Jesus with people along the way.
3. for us to grow in our faith, love, and trust.
Give :
Your financial donation—no matter the amount—will help! While insurance will cover much, we are missing Patrick’s income. Every dollar you give helps cover expenses and allows Patrick to focus on healing.
Meals :
If you would like to bring a meal, it would bless us beyond words. On the hardest days, when energy and emotions run low, a warm meal feels like a gift from God. If you want to hop on the meal train: https://www.mealtrain.com/trains/83y9r4
To-Do’s :
We occasionally need help with everyday tasks—from errands to simple home projects. If you feel led to help in this way, we would be deeply grateful.
Whether we’re walking through green pastures or the valley of the shadow of death, He is WITH us (Psalm 23). And ultimately, we are trusting in God to work all things together (Romans 8: 26-28).

Thank you for your friendship, encouragement, prayer, and support. We love you.
