Pastor Larry Cudmore retired from his position of Senior Pastor at First Evangelical Lutheran Church in Idaho Falls when he received a cancer diagnosis and began treatment in Salt Lake City, UT. Larry is currently in remission, but his love for his horse “Champ” who died of cancer, as well as his interactions with terminally ill children while he underwent treatment himself, caused Larry to begin Champ’s Heart, a “Healing Horse Encounter” ministry to special needs and terminally ill children. Larry is married to Wendy and has three wonderful and supportive adult children.
