Bishop Hezekiah Walker has spent his life leading people into worship. As the founder of the Love Fellowship Crusade Choir and senior pastor of Love Fellowship Tabernacle in Brooklyn, New York, his voice has carried millions of people through their darkest moments. His song "Every Praise" became an anthem — played in churches, hospitals, and funeral homes around the world.
But in 2025, the man who had led so many others through the valley found himself walking into one of his own.
The Diagnosis
Prostate cancer. The news was devastating. Walker described it as a moment that "shook him to his core." He had preached about healing. He had laid hands on the sick. He had stood in pulpits and declared that God was a healer. Now he was the one who needed healing.
Prostate cancer disproportionately affects Black men in the United States — they are 70% more likely to be diagnosed and twice as likely to die from it. Walker knew the statistics. He also knew who he served.
The Fight
What followed was both a medical journey and a spiritual one. Walker received treatment. He also received prayer — from his congregation, from fellow pastors, from the global community that knew his name and his music.
He leaned on his family. He leaned on his faith. He leaned on the same God he had been singing to for decades. And he discovered something that every believer discovers when the trial is personal: the songs you wrote for other people become the songs that save your own life.
The Announcement
In January 2026, Bishop Hezekiah Walker stood before his church and shared the news: cancer-free.
The same voice that had sung "Every Praise" to packed arenas now carried a testimony that no recording could capture. He had walked through the fire. And he was still here.
Walker used his platform to speak directly to Black men about the importance of regular checkups, early screening, and not ignoring symptoms. He turned his testimony into a public health message: get checked, because early detection saves lives.
What This Means for You
If the man who wrote the songs for your worst moments can face his own worst moment and come out the other side — then the God he sings about is real enough to hold you too.
Cancer does not care about your ministry, your platform, or how many people you have helped. But God does. And He is not finished with you just because a diagnosis says otherwise.
Every praise. Especially from the other side.
