Dr. Mike Ontiveros and How Faith Become His Empowerment to Fight Cancer.

Faith Overcomes All

Pivotal moments that shaped Mike’s life and strengthened his faith.

Chapter 1: Seeds of Faith

Growing Up in Faith

Growing up in California, I was raised in a loving Catholic family where faith was central. I excelled in academics and sports, but my connection to God began as a seed planted during childhood church visits, waiting to take root in my heart.

“Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it.” — Proverbs 22:6

Chapter 2: Trials and Triumphs

Navigating Life’s Challenges

As I pursued higher education and a career, life’s trials tested my faith. Struggles with personal identity, relationships, and the pressures of success drew me away from God. Yet, these moments planted lessons that would later serve as cornerstones of resilience and spiritual growth.

“Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds.” — James 1:2

Chapter 3: The Turning Point

Rediscovering Faith Through Adversity

The day my mother handed me a rosary was one of the most profound moments of my life. She was nearing the end of her battle with cancer, and her strength in those final days inspired me deeply. As she placed the rosary in my hands, it was as though she was passing on her unshakable faith. Shortly after, she passed away, leaving me with a profound sense of loss but also a renewed connection to God. That rosary became my lifeline, guiding me back to prayer and the comfort of faith during my own struggles.

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” — Jeremiah 29:11

Chapter 4: Fighting With Faith

Strength in God’s Plan

Facing the battle with cancer, I found new strength in surrendering to God’s plan. Every chemotherapy session, every moment of pain, became an opportunity to lean deeper into faith. This journey revealed God’s unwavering presence and love.

“I can do all this through him who gives me strength.” — Philippians 4:13

Chapter 5: Faith Over Cancer

Turning Pain Into Purpose

During my battle with cancer, I realized that the journey God was leading me on had a greater purpose. Out of the darkest moments came the birth of Faith Over Cancer, a mission dedicated to helping others find the same strength and hope I discovered through God. It’s more than a foundation—it’s a movement to inspire, support, and uplift those in need.

“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” — Romans 8:28

Chapter 6: Building a Legacy of Hope

Giving Back Through Faith

Faith Over Cancer became not only a testimony of my journey but a platform to connect with and empower others. Through outreach programs, support groups, and a message of resilience, I’ve been blessed to see lives transformed by faith and hope.

“Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.” — Hebrews 10:23

Chapter 7: A Life of Gratitude

Living in God’s Grace

Today, I live each day with gratitude for the blessings and lessons God has given me. Faith is no longer just a part of my life; it is my life. My journey continues, and I strive to be a beacon of hope for others.

“Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” — 1 Thessalonians 5:18
