Cancer Awareness: Bishop Branford Dean, pastor of the National Church of God, says he’s now cancer-free after receiving medical clearance in the Turks and Caicos Islands and is urging ongoing community action through a five-day “Cancer Awareness & Celebration of Hope” run of worship, health education, testimonies, and a health fair.
