Jehovah Is Helping You Succeed - "Jehovah Gave Us Exactly What We Needed

Mason was diagnosed with cancer at age seven, and for the next six years, he courageously fought the disease,  Mason had to be hospitalized a number of times during the course of his illness. Yet, those who were in his congregation noticed a pattern. Each time Mason was released from the hospital, he was back in the ministry almost immediately.  Mason loved to engage in the ministry for as long as he his strength would permit.

When Mason died, more than 700 people attended his memorial service, including many of the schoolmates and teachers.  One teacher who visited him shortly before his death said that she wanted her children to have the kind of faith that Mason had.  She also said that  she had not been contacted by Jehovah's Witnesses in the five years she she had been living in the area.  The next day she was contacted at her home by the Witnesses.  The teacher agreed to attend a congregation meeting. 

Tori, Mason's mother, says:  "Jehovah didn't miraculously heal Mason, and sometimes that thought prevented me from seeing how Jehovah was making our way successful. But he was.  Jehovah gave us exactly what we needed when we needed it."
