Our pastor has been a friend, mentor, and prayer partner to many. She is a watchman on the wall. We pray that the Lord anoint and strengthen her so that she might be able to continue to work the work of Him that sent her “while it is day, for at nighttime no man can work” (John 9:4 “I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work”).
