Dear sister in Christ, Ardeda,
Just last night (July 5) I heard of brother Water's passing away.
I want to express my love and prayers for you and wish you God's gracious comfort and peace.
1Peter 5:10-11 may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you. To Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.
