I am deeply saddened to announce the passing of Sister Vernetta Reid. Sister Reid served alongside her husband, Bishop Winston Reid most recently at the Wildwood Church in Cleveland, Tennessee.  Her son and his wife, Trevor and Ailene Reid serve as the International Youth Ministries Directors. Please join us in prayer for Winston and their family, I will share information about visitation and funeral arrangements once I receive them.

Special Prayer Request - Sharon Carruthers

Tonight, I spoke with Pastor Vernon Carruthers (Madisonville Church) by telephone and learned that his wife, Sharon is in Park West Hospital in Knoxville, Tennessee.  With a high fever and sever pain, she was hospitalized due to an infection in one of her knees, that had replacement surgery. She is to undergo a surgical procedure tomorrow at 1:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) and Pastor Carruthers is requesting your prayers for her.  I am also asking each of you to pray for Vernon as well.

Prayer Requests

Debra and I are on our way home from a full day of ministry. Of course I need to mention we were in Cleveland yesterday for visitation to honor Bishop A.J.Coalter. Funeral services for Bishop A.J. Coalter this morning. I was privileged to be able to make a few comments along with North American Presbyter Bishop  Sam N. Clements , Retired Bishop J.E. Brisson and enjoy a great message by Bishop Coalter's son-in-law, Bishop  Duke Stone , pastor of the Hickory Vallley. Our prayers are with  Norma Coalter , Bishop  Tim Coalter  and Shirlene Stone and all the children and grandchildren. After graveside services by Bishop Tim Coalter, we learned that our Asia/Oceana General Presbyter, Bishop  David L. Browder  was hospitalized in Cleveland last night for chest pains. We, along with Georgia Bishop  Billy Adams  and his wife  Charlotte Rea Adams  went to visit and have prayer for him. While there, we learned that Bishop  Wade Patterson  had also been admitted, so we went to his room
