The news has hit me hard and the circumstances surrounding his death are still not clear to me. He was a man whose powerful ministry i admired. The last time I was with him was in June. we were sitting together at the EFZ heads denomination quarterly meeting. I wish i had created more time with him as we had planned together. I pray for the comfort of God on the family and church."
