Draft Message
Hi McLaren,
I hope this message finds you and your beautiful family well. My name is Gary Sheng, and I'm reaching out with a lot of love from Encounter Church, headed by Apostle Delmar Coward Jr.
A fellow church member named Cynthia saw your videos about Josie and passed them along to me. Your daughter's resilience is truly inspiring, and your strength as a mother shines through every post.
I wanted to reach out because we're hosting a Miracle Breakthrough Service in Wilmington at Soul Saving Station Church on Feb 21st and 22nd of 2026. My pastor, Apostle Delmar Coward Jr., is traveling from Liberty, Texas specifically for this trip. He has a documented record of helping people with cancers be healed through the power of Jesus, including children with cancer.
I believe that God connected your story to us through Cynthia for a reason. Apostle would love the opportunity to activate a miracle for Josie and your family.
If you're interested, I would love to get on a phone call and tell you more about the pastor and his ministry. No pressure at all. Just an invitation extended with genuine care and faith.
With love and prayers,
Gary Sheng On behalf of Encounter Church (TVMI) Apostle Delmar Coward Jr. (630) 240-4545 https://www.encounter-intl.com/

A fellow church member named Cynthia came across the videos about Josie and the GoFundMe you organized for McLaren's family. Your heart for this family really shines through.

Since you organized the GoFundMe and seem close to McLaren, I was hoping you might be able to pass this invitation along to her. Or if you have a better way to reach her directly, I would appreciate any guidance.
