I never got to meet Pastor Willbanks but I knew him through my friend, Brother Charles Carpenter. I and the church here at Mount Zion Deeper Life Fellowship in Conway Arkansas have been praying for Brother Willbanks for a year or more and will continue to pray for his family, and church family as well.
Psalms 116:15 "Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints."
It is hard for us but the Lord says it is precious. I know the Lord is watching over each of you and that He will comfort all those that look to Him.
With love and many prayers,
Dale Collins, a servant of Jesus Christ serving
as bishop of Mount Zion Deeper Life Fellowship,
