Dwayne’s Journey

My wife and I had dinner with friends last night. A wonderful couple. They moved out to Saskatoon and it looks as though they will be returning to Ontario.

We shared stories about our respective experiences with small churches. They had gone through some challenges with their own church. And it led to a heart-breaking story about Dwayne Harm.

Dwayne was a 37 year old husband and father of 2. He was a church-planter and pastor of a 4 year old church. He was struck with renal cancer and died within a couple of months of the initial discovery of the cancer. His blog chronicles a brief and candid battle with the disease. In his own words: “my journey through this part of the adventure God has for me may be worth reading about.”

It is very difficult to read his journey. He talks to all of the human emotion that goes into life.

His journey is worth reading. You can find it here. The Mennonite Brethren Herald has more background on Dwayne here.
