From Mrs. Veronica John Tuesday March 8, 2011 at 11:22 AM
(Dear God Elect) From Mrs. Veronica John DEAREST ONE IN CHRIST I am the above named person from Kuwait. I am married to Mr Bertram John, who worked with Kuwait embassy in Ivory Coast for nine years before he died in the year 2005. We were married for eleven years without a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days. Before his death we were both born again Christian. Since his death I decided not to remarry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which the Bible is against. When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of $6.5 Million (Six Million Five Hundred U.S. Dollars) in the bank here in Abidjan in suspense account.Presently, the fund is still with the bank. Recently, my Doctor told me that i have serious sickness which is cancer problem. The one that disturbs me most is my stroke sickness. Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to a church, mosque, organization or individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct herein. I want a church or mosque that will use this fund for orphanages, widows, propagating the word of God and to endeavour that the house of God is maintained. The Bible made us to understand that blessed is the hand that giveth. I took this decision because I dont have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are not Christians and I dont want my husbands efforts to be used by unbelievers. I dont want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly way. This is why I am taking this decision. I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going. I know that I am going to be in the bosom of the Lord. Exodus 14 VS14 says that the Lord will fight my case and I shall hold my peace. I dont need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health hence the presence of my husbands relatives is around me always I don't want them to know about this development. With God all things are possible. As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the bank here in Abidjan. I want you and the church to always pray for me because the Lord is my shepherd. My happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Christian. Whoever that wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and Truth. Please always be prayerful all through your life. Contact me on the above e-mail address for more informations, any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing another church or individual for this same purpose. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I Stated herein. Hoping to receive your reply. Remain blessed in the Lord. Yours in Christ, Mrs. Veronica John.

Tomorrow will be 2 years since Pearl Rogers went home to be with her Jesus. Her husband, Edgar, followed the next day. They were Christians in this world together and they are now receiving their reward together for their faithful service to Christ. I had gone to Johns Run Tabernacle several times while Edgar and Pearl were both still very active in the services. There was a warm, comforting atmosphere in the building when the Johns Run Tabernacle Church met there. I was not attending services there when I learned of the passing of these two saints. It was hard to imagine that both had made the passing just one day apart. What a picture and testimony of true Christian love. I was searching here today for my daughter-in-law's obituary and came across the information for Edgar and Pearl Rogers. I had no idea the dates were so close to the 2 year anniversary of their passing. I have been attending services for several weeks now at Johns Run Tabernacle. The atmosphere is the same as I remember. The people still warm and friendly. The presence of Christ still very obvious. Although it has been 2 years since Pearl and Edgar went home, I still want to let their family and friends know how I admired those two wonderful people and the legacy they left in the hearts and lives of so very many . Thanks.

My heart aches for all the Rogers and Greer family and friends for your loss. I'm sad not to be able to get to the services to honor Edgar and Pearl's passing through the gates of Heaven, but I want you to know that I'm thinking of and praying for all. Some how I had the feeling that they would travel together, just as they have through most of their lives.

So sorry for the loss of Pearl and Edgar. They were awesome Christians who never feared letting people know where they stood with the Lord. I pray that I can be just a fraction of the Christian that these two were. They will be greatly missed.
