URGENT PRAYER REQUESTED FOR THE PATTERSON FAMILY!

Ken and Pauline Patterson

Ken Patterson has had two deaths in his family this past week — his cousin passed away one morning and his baby sister, Paula Jones, died the same day. Today, August 10th, he received word that his baby brother, Jim Patterson, had died also, apparently from a massive heart attack. Jim would have been 52 this month.

Pauline Patterson (owner of Patterson Music Group, Patterson Promotions and Southern Gospel Times) is asking for special prayer for her husband during this tragic time. Not only is Ken dealing with the losses in his family, but he continues to recover from a quadruple-bypass heart surgery March 12, 2014. With his body still weak and carrying the weight of his grief, he needs extra strength and prayer during this time.

We know that GOD ANSWERS PRAYER and we thank all of you ahead of time for your concern. We are believing for Ken’s complete recovery, and for God’s grace to give Him emotional and physical strength during this time of grief.

Cards of sympathy and condolences can be sent to:
Ken and Pauline Patterson, 768 Walnut Road, Lily, KY 40740

Phil Culbertson, Pastor of Christ Corner Church in Henderson, KY shares, “David East puts words to music that not only inspire but cause you to sit back and take inventory of your life with his song, Morning After the Rapture. This song brings more than a melody – it’s a message reminding you that this world is temporary and God’s grace and mercy is the only hope in a world that one day will come to an end. This song is truly one of a kind, written to the depths that touches the soul with a message so simple even a child could understand it.”

Jerry Adams, Church of God District Overseer and Pastor of the Shelburn Church of God in Shelburn, Indiana adds, “The first time I heard that song I knew it was destined to be counted among Southern Gospel’s greatest songs.
