The Shadow of Death

Peter Quinn was born in 1950. His family moved to Bonita Springs, Florida, in 1955, where he still resides. Peter married his high school sweetheart in 1969. Together they have five children and now have nineteen grandchildren. All five children are serving God in some ministry capacity. Peter worked as a plumbing contractor in his earlier years and was involved in planting a couple of local churches. Peter was the senior pastor of one of the churches for three years. He became president of Manna Christian Missions in 1987 and served in that capacity for twenty-four years. He is now the vice president, and his son, Michael, is the president.

Peter received a bachelor's in missiology from Logos Bible College and served on the executive board of directors for Logos from 1996 until 2003. Peter was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2011. He had a colon resection and was assured he was cancer free. The doctors found no cancer in the lymph nodes or the colon. Three years later the same symptoms reappeared, necessitating another colon resection and was rediagnosed with terminal colon cancer and given three years to live.

This is Peter's story and his struggle to reconcile his faith with the healing power of God.
