How to Have Hope When There is No Hope
Description
Dorsey Ross' birth was a surprise. Dorsey's parents were in their forties, had two grown daughters, and were considered past child-bearing age. When Dorsey was born, the doctors believed he wouldn't survive due to his life-threatening disability.
Teachers told Dorsey he would not make it in college, and with all odds against him, he entered Queensborough Community College. After four years there and after attaining an associate degree, he entered the University of Valley Forge. After years of hard work and perseverance, he graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Youth Ministry. His life saying is, "can't is a word not in his vocabulary" because, for most of his life, he has never used the word can't.
He believes that with God, all things are possible and that he can do all things through Christ, who gives him strength. It's with God's help that he is overcoming life's obstacles.
Dorsey has undergone multiple operations over his lifetime. However, regardless of what he has had to face, Dorsey has not given up. He does everything he can to accomplish the goals and dreams God gave to him.
