20 Minutes to Live

20 Minutes to Live... the story of how "life as they knew it" changed in an instant for Ken and Kathy Pistoresi. "My wife has always been the picture of health and strength - spiritually, emotionally, and physically," Ken wrote. So when Kathy entered the emergency room at Bakersfield Memorial Hospital with asthma-like symptoms, they were not prepared for what the doctors had to say.

Doctors and nurses struggled to keep Kathy alive. On a respirator and septic, with total system failure, a tracheostomy, and blood clots in both legs, there was little hope she would survive. Then God sent an angel to speak loudly into her ear; with only 20 minutes to live, Jesus came to her rescue!

This is a story of how family, friends, and community surrounded Ken and Kathy during the most challenging season of their lives. Journey with them through all the struggles, pain, dysfunction, loss, and triumph. See why they are now convinced that nothing is impossible with God and community!
