Most of us don't have that kind of faith. I can only imagine how many people she brought to Christ in her ministry... Wow!!!<br /><br />God Bless her.<br />BetsyBetsy Banks Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16223591156634767330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1824780174097412566.post-81164291900578478592011-07-27T21:37:58.012-04:002011-07-27T21:37:58.012-04:00I so enjoyed reading that story, Fred!

I would say that was truly trusting God. I can see Emma was a special person.<br /><br />Equally amazing to me was me knowing folks that you knew in Guyana. and I met them years later in Canada. Wonderful folk also.<br /><br />My mama would have loved Emma.<br />Thanks for an inspiring story.<br />Lvoe from the mts of NC<br />Sherry & jackjack69https://www.blogger.com/profile/12884137603402812926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1824780174097412566.post-22174062995694493962011-07-27T16:04:21.290-04:002011-07-27T16:04:21.290-04:00Ginny, Emma died in 1970.

How old did she live to be, and was she the pastor of her church in the Caribbeans?Ginny Hartzlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09329131153403895625noreply@blogger.com
