It was a unique request. Saturday’s Sub It was a unique approach. It was a unique life. All of which added up to a unique book — a story that Ed Schwartz felt called to write. “Compelled” might be a better word. Many are familiar with the basics of the story: Zach Bertsch was just 27 when he heard the worst possible Mark Miller news from a doctor. He would pass away almost exactly three years later in June 2013, leav- ing behind a wife and two children … and a remarkable legacy that you may not know about. “He came to see me in September 2010,” Ed shares, three months after the diagnosis. “A death sentence,” Ed called it. Zach wanted his cancer to “pay a price” and asked Ed what Loving Shepherd Ministries needed most. “Who takes that attitude?” Ed asks rhetorically. The local organization’s founder shared with Zach that they always want to build another “Home of Hope” in Haiti, but that wasn’t what Zach had in mind. “He wanted to think in terms of something that wasn’t even on the drawing board, something that other- wise wasn’t going to happen,” Ed continued.
