Here's the video that Will and Angie recorded two weeks ago, just a day before they learned the cancer had returned. It was played at their church on Easter Sunday as a message of hope and inspiration. As always, their love and strength shines through.

April 3, 2013Yeah, what they (ALL of them) have said. We here in Rockville, Indiana, are holding you in our hearts and prayers. Any one of us could be where you are before we know it; and if that should ever be me, your witness will strengthen me. Indeed, it already is.

From the time I met you at CMC and into this video I watched today, you two have carried such a stillness and humble strength in your very presence and in how you love each other and this world. I remember being so inspired by your relationship when I was at the CMC and as I watched this video the inspiration has re-ignited. As I prepare to get married in 58 days your love and selflessness for one another is something that will continue to inspire me throughout my life. We are praying for you and believing that God is with you and for you. I cannot fathom this situation, but I am honored to witness the steadfast faith, hope and love you both are living. The song ‘Amazed’ comes to my heart… How deep. How wide. How great is his love for us. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQAPMRpNoe8
With much love and many many prayers,
Brittany

April 3, 2013Will and Angie, you both have exhibited incredible strength for these 7 months. I am so proud to hear you minister to all of us even in your time of need. I am spell struck right now! This video is so powerful. Thank you to all the participants in making this video possible.
Will & Angie thank you for letting your light shine for the world to see!
Continue to be strong in the Lord and the power of His might.

April 3, 2013Will and Angie,
I just finished watching the video you posted on the website, and I just want you to know that we have been praying for you guys in Cleveland Ohio. I can’t imagine what you are both going through. I am sitting at my computer, not knowing exactly what to write. I think that God puts people in our lives for a reason and back a few years ago, I was living on the vineyard with all of you guys (semester 13). I was having a difficult time with the semester because of some major depression that I was battling. Will, you used to wake me up in the mornings and we would go on walks together and just talk about life, and music. Now I look back at that time and I so much appreciate your encouragement, your support, and your willingness to challenge me as a songwriter, as an artist, and as a person. I got through that semester with your help. I wanted to quit, but you wouldn’t let me. Thank you for not giving up on me. I am still playing drums and piano because of you man! Thank you for the laughs too… One of my favorite memories is when you woke me up early in the morning (7am) to go for a walk, and you stood in the doorway of our room and said “Where are my songs guys?” And EVERYONE jumped out of bed, scrambling to put on their pants because they thought they were late for class! Haha that was the best!
After watching the video, I also see a picture of real love. I so much admire you guys. I admire your love for God, and your love for others. It inspires me to live out my life with hope rather than fear. I am getting married in 15 days, and I can’t think of a better example of real love than from what I have seen between you and Angie. You guys are amazing. Keep fighting Will. You are one of the most driven people I’ve ever met, and just know that you have friends across the country praying along with you. I love you guys, and just remember that no matter what happens, God is with you and Angie. I will keep praying for you both and will keep telling people about your incredible story. God is using you both in incredible ways. You are both such beautiful people. Thank you for inspiring me, encouraging me, and pointing me to God.
With love,
Chris Matetic

I’m praying for you both every single day and in between questioning all of it, keeping deep faith in miracles. Thanks so much for sharing this beautiful video.
Angie -hearing Will talk about you in this video just took me back to one of our writing sessions last year. We were trying to figure out what to write that day and in the process, we were having conversations about different parts of our lives. Every time he spoke about you, his face would literally light up. We were just talking about the little things in our daily lives, but I vividly remember feeling inspired and hopeful after I left that day that the kind of love you two have still exists.
Sending lots of love to you, today and every day. You have so many people praying and we’re in this fight with both of you!

April 3, 2013You are both so very dear. There is something incredibly special about
your story that is reaching beyond yourselves and touching so many lives
with your love and faith. We are standing strong for you with many others
who are praying day and throughout the night for you. Hold onto the Lord
and onto each other. We wait expectantly in hope.

April 3, 2013Will, About twelve years ago my family lead a Go Trip to Casper, Wyoming for Union University. The four of us, my wife Sherry, our son Patterson and daughter Frances were truly blessed that week serving with a fine group of kids. You, Justin Wainscott, DJ, and Mary Beth Haltom to just name a few left lifetime impressions on my children who were in elementary and junior high at the time. Justin is now our Pastor at First Baptist, Jackson and our Life Group leader is Howard and Debbie Newell. Know that we are praying for you and Angie. God is in control!!

I had the incredible privilege of seeing Will perform when I was a student at the CMC back in 2004. Though I don’t know Will personally, his spirt is still something that has stayed with me even years later. Your testimony is truly incredible and in a time when life seems full of so many questions that are far beyond our comprehension, I am deeply touched by your faith. Thank you for the incredible ways that you are blessing those around you even in the midst of this trial. I pray for you both daily and hope you feel the prayers of many surrounding you.
With much love,
Katie

Vikki Rogers
April 3, 2013Dear Will and Angie, I was so encouraged by your video, brutally honest and I love that. I am on my own journey of healing-I have just begun this wk. I love Jesus and the Father and learning to trust them more and more. For myself He is reminding me that it is His strength that will carry me. I’ve heard the scripture “when I am weak, He is strong” but I must admit my weakness. I’m learning to do that better now. My heart cry is still, “God, heal Will on this earth”-you are in our prayers. Rogers family-Dr Rick, Vikki, Jennifer(Campbell), Rebekah(Griffith) Ben Rogers. We love you even tho it has been since before u married that we last saw you in Murfreesboro
