Jocelyn, I'm sorry for your loss and sadness but happy for your dad. He's happier now than he ever has been. He has to be. Imagine seeing the Lord. In honor of your dad, I will give a donation to the Steven A Hunter Hope Fund. Through MAP I learned about the fund and through MAP, I met you. I also met your dad at MAP.

Served alongside Jim for many years. First in his pastorate in Portsmouth Ohio and then helped him in a revival at Belmont. Heaven has gained a wonderful man of God
