never have I met a pastor and friend so compassionate in helping others. the jesus in him was evident in how he led his life, encouraging the faithful to get out and support the downtrodden. The vehicle The Helping Hand Mission drove to pick up he needy children to keep them off the streets was donated from Word Of God spearheaded by pastor Summerfield.. We saw the Jesus in him by the way he treaated his fellowman. Our love and condolence goes out to first lady sister in Christ Mrs. Summerfield. we pray God keep you and the family close in your hearts during this trying time., Know that you are in our hearts and prayers.

I'm sorry to hear about your loss. May you find strength from the words of Psalms 46:1 which reads: 'God is our refuge and strength, A help that is readily found in times of distress.' What a loving God who cares about each one of us. He didn't intend for us to grow old and die. He thus has made the SURE promise of a resurrection right here on earth when it is restored to a beautiful paradise (Psalms 37:9-11, 29; Acts 24:15; Isaiah 55;11). Can you see yourself welcoming back to life your loved ones? What a joy it will bring all of us. You can go online to JW.ORG and find out more about this resurrection.
