“I don’t know how you hear my story and my testimony and don’t believe there is God.”
That’s how Cameron Courtman explains his miraculous, dying journey. It is an incredible voyage of trust, survival and true dependence in the face of a life-changing storm.
Courtman, 24, said his family’s tragic experience began at one year old when his parents were preparing to move to Virginia Beach, Virginia.

But on the day of their movement something happened that changed the course of their lives.
“I got sick with an ear infection and a bust of moving,” he told CBN News. “My mother took me to the doctor. She thought it was just a daily ear infection. I’ve been getting a lot of them recently.”
But Courtman’s mom felt deep in her gut that something else was going on. In fact, after the doctor prescribed antibiotics, she paused to share what she had experienced on her way to his office.
“(She said), “In fact, on the way here, the Lord spoke to me and said that something was grossly wrong, and we needed to go to the hospital. “But thankfully… the doctor is a Christian and he said, “Who am I going to argue with the Lord? So we can send you to the hospital.”

Although the doctor felt relatively indifferent at the time, he knew that Courtman’s mother was determined to do what she had heard from God. There he complied with the ambulance and called for an ambulance. It’s a lucky choice considering what happened next.
“They started running almost every test they could imagine and came back a few hours later, saying, “Sorry, 95% of your son’s blood cells are leukemia. He probably won’t do it all night,” Courtman said.
The shocking news of beating the family’s life confirmed everything his mother felt.
“As you can imagine, it’s totally a mixture of mistrust and shock, and it’s starting to sadden and confuse what to really do,” Courtman said. “And I think you’ll soon be in the “OK, let’s figure out the next step” mode. ”
Courtman began intense chemotherapy. This took its own risk to such a young child.
And the family began to push them against the surrounding communities. Courtman expressed how “blessings” the people they love are helping to care for both him and his brother.
But leaning on prayer with God was the main recipe for tackling the confusion.
“They really tried to understand from the Lord how they could become faithful through the journey,” Courtman said.
These tools were essential as Courtman faced four years of hospitalization, chemotherapy and other interventions. Along the way, uncertainty required deep dependence on the Almighty.
“It was one of those situations where, ‘OK, I lived for a week.’ Then they say, “Let’s see how long he can live,” Courtman said. “You never even imagine being parents and you never really know if you were going to make it the next day, the next month, or the next year.”
Surprisingly, the cancer eventually disappeared. Courtman said it was “miraculous.” And that’s not all.
“The thing that’s obsessed with the situation except for the fact that I’ve completely cured from cancer is that they told my parents,” he has no cancer, but he hasn’t come out of the woods. So there’s a very good chance he can’t speak like everyone else. He may not be able to walk. He may not be able to speak,” Courtman said.
He continued. So, then to go where I am today… I had the opportunity to play sports at the highest level for a former college athlete (who) to play sports, it’s just a god. ”
Courtman, director of digital marketing at Great American Media, a company that currently produces faith and family programming, says the overall experience has driven him strong and dedicated.
His focus today is to spread the gospel and work to advance the Christian faith, and to market brands such as the Great American Family and the Great American Pure Flix.
“What I like about my role at Great American is that I wake up every day and know it… social media posts my team is creating, ads we make, we push good in society with the exact opposite culture of entertainment,” Courtman said. “So we are the light of the entertainment industry and it feels so cool to be able to praise the Lord while being passionate about marketing and using creative things.”
He praised the company for giving families, individuals and parents a safe experience of watching TV and films.
“We tell these truly impactful stories of faith redemption, stories I think really inspire and raise people. They are very related to the journeys that everyone has gone through,” Courtman said.
Courtman’s journey to the great American media that connects the dots between his own medical miracle, God’s plan for his life, and immortality trust is fascinating. But his faith really drives it all – a deep-bred, enduring love rooted in his family journey.

Looking back at the experience, Courtman said he couldn’t imagine what it would be like to address his parents’ potential loss of a baby anytime.
The trial brought him closer to his Christian faith, shaping his beliefs, and his parents provided a powerful example for him to follow.
“A lot of my faith… I believe in them because most people in such a situation find it very easy for them to turn to God and face each other,” he said. “The fact that they depended on God through it and then came out stronger on the other side…their marriage is still very strong, their faith is still very strong. I don’t think I have the same faith as me today if I had not responded to the way they had done throughout that whole journey.”
