Quotes It hit my family pretty hard, The most difficult thing was that we couldn’t go see my mom and dad in the hospital. Every now and then, a nurse was kind to let us talk to mom on the phone. When my mother was nearing the end, they let us come in, but she was pretty much gone by then He had been to five different hospitals. They had shipped him around, and we made a decision to bring him home. We turned his living room into a hospital room, and had the doctors and nurses come in to see about him. God, along with those doctors and nurses, miraculously brought him back to health. He’s at 190 pounds and preaching again Quite a few died out of that conference. I was sitting right next to a man that passed. My church doors have been closed since then We started emphasizing social media and learning the technology necessary to do ministry. We have been doing church, Bible study, evening service, all on social media. It looked like I closed down just in time, because no others were infected. I think we’ve been a catalyst where people can see that ministry is more than coming into four walls and having a brief service. It’s meeting the needs of people. I feel that if there’s a way that people can find out early, maybe they can have some preventive measures to keep it from getting so serious. Bishop J.
