On February 12, 2010, Pastor Tim Vanderveld received word from his oncologist that he had only six weeks to live, after a three-year battle with gallbladder cancer. While most stories would end here, it's really the beginning of Pastor Tim's inspiring journey of faith, perseverance, and trust in God's promises...
Six weeks came and went. Over the course of the next thirteen months, Pastor Tim embarked on a remarkable journey, sharing his story and glorifying God through his illness. From elementary schools and colleges, to adult bible studies and prisons, Pastor Tim used the last year of his life to bring God's message of hope and eternal life to people all over the country. Throughout this time, he continued to struggle with the effects of his cancer, and the ever-growing tumors inside his abdomen. In addition to numerous speaking engagements, Pastor Tim continued to minister to a cancer support group he helped form at Berean Baptist Church in Burnsville, Minnesota, where he was the Pastor of Worship Ministries...
In November of 2009, Pastor Tim recorded a seven-song CD entitled, "If You Could See Me Now." This CD was initially meant to be a gift to his family. Little did we know, that God had much broader plans for Pastor Tim and his ministry. To date, nearly 1000 CD's have been sold worldwide. The title track, "If You Could See Me Now" is Pastor Tim's reminder to us that he is now walking "streets of gold" and that there is, indeed, eternal life through Jesus Christ...
Pastor Tim Vanderveld passed away on March 13, 2011. He is survived by his wife, Debbie; his son, Christopher; and his daughter, Jillian...

Our prayers have all been answered
I finally have arrived
The healing that had been delayed
Has now been realized
No one's in a hurry
There's no schedule to keep
We're all enjoying Jesus
just sitting at his feet
If you could see me now
I'm walking streets of gold
If you could see me now
I'm standing tall and whole
If you could see me now
You'd know I've seen His face
If you could see me now
You'd know the pain's erased
You wouldn't want me to ever leave this place
If you could only see me now
My light and temporary trials
Have worked out for my good
To know it brought Him glory
When I misunderstood
And though we've had our sorrows
They can never compare
What Jesus has in store for us
No language can share
