David Baker had stage four melanoma. A tumor on the side of his face had grown so huge he couldn’t see out of his right eye, and he could barely eat. Doctors said there was nothing they could do for him.
David was suffering more and more, day by day. Still, he managed to get to church on Easter morning, and that’s where he received a miracle.
“When you’re going to the doctor and you hear nothing encouraging, that’s when your faith, it’s going to have to stand,” says Jerilyn Baker. In November 2020, her husband David started having constant nose bleeds. Doctors removed a polyp from his sinus cavity. But soon after, things got worse.
Jerilyn remembers, “When his face began to swell I thought, he’s got an infection. And I told him, ‘We need to contact the doctor quickly.'”

The results of a CT scan shocked the family. David’s brother-in-law, Chuck Denny was there. “They told him he had stage four nasal cavity melanoma,” says Chuck. “They said surgery wasn’t an option. Cause of the facial disfigurement would be too massive.”
Jerilyn felt hopeless, “They told us that, that there was really nothing that they could do. Chemo wasn’t for that type that he had.”
Chuck says, “I’d never seen anybody healed of cancer. Every time I heard the word cancer, it was a death sentence. And I feel like unless God moved, I feel like David wouldn’t, you know, he wasn’t gonna make it.”
“You know my first thought was in my teaching is that we need to move into a fast and seek God and see God heal,” says Jerilyn.
Pastor Marl Gilbert remembers the many prayers from multiple church locations and beyond.
“Both church families were praying for David and there was a multitude of other people. It wasn’t just our churches. David used to be a pastor himself. So there’s a lot of people that he knows. It was praying for him in different areas of the country, just believing God for the turnaround in his life,” he says.
