Three weeks before  the event, Zack learned he would not be able to attend because cancer  that had been in remission had reappeared. The treatments prevented him  from making the long bus trip to Knoxville, Tennessee, with other  members of his youth group.<\/p>\n<p>CHIC organizers learned of Zack\u2019s situation and the devastating feeling  experienced by other members of his youth group at not having Zack as  part of the team, after so many long months of planning for the trip.  Organizers paid for an airplane ticket and secretly flew the 16-year-old  to Knoxville, where they kept him hidden until bringing him on stage.  His fellow youth group members mobbed him on stage and the thousands of  teens and adults in the arena jumped to their feet amid thunderous  applause.

Thanks for all the prayers,  and thoughts being sent our way. It really helps.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Covenanters around the country have been praying for Zack after learning  of his story and pending surgery.
