‘We prayed, but we didn’t get a miracle’

Esther Scholes speaks candidly about how she navigated the deaths of her son and then husband  

While still a child, Esther Scholes pledged that she would always say yes to God, to use her life to point people to him. When marriage, family, Bible college and church leadership followed, it seemed like she knew what he was expecting of her. Then her young son Daniel became sick and died, and just a year later her husband Richard was diagnosed with cancer and also passed away.
