Grace and Peace. In 1989, I joined Lighthouse and Rev. & Sister Howard and the family welcomed me with open arms and a big heart. I still remember some of the teachings of Apostle Howard. We even shared scriptures and thoughts online. To his family, please know that myself and The Rehoboth New Life Center family of Charlotte, NC stand in Celebration of this General of the Gospel transition from Labor to Reward..
