Funeral arrangements….

Everyone is welcome to celebrate the life of my little brother!!!

I can’t believe you’re gone John, I still remember when mom told us she was having a baby!!! I still remember holding my baby brother, feeding you in your high chair, getting in trouble for us making a huge mess in the bathroom splashing all the bathtub bubbles, all those nights we spent together in the hospital when you were 16, chaperoning you on your first date with Lizzy, your wedding 💒 day, knowing you were someone else’s now, then you were a daddy and it seems like you were just asking me how I fry my tacos, annoying me an sitting on my lap and then I blinked and you were just gone… my little baby brother is gone with Jesus!!! I remember my life before you were here, buuuuuuut I never imagined my life without you once you came a long!!! It breaks my heart, yet I know you’ve accomplished what we are living to obtain!!!

Still I will trust him, still I will follow, still I will listen to his every calling!!!!

The Votaws!!!

He has preached all over the US, China, Taiwan, the Philipines, Vietnam and many more Asian countries. He preaches in underground churches in communism countries. He converted a man on death row in prison to Christ and 3 hours before that man died he baptized him in Jesus name. He prayed the first man in Vietnam to kill and americn soldier through to the Holy Ghost and Baptized him in Jesus name. He has converted trinitartin preachers all over to the Oneness doctrine...BUT ABOVE all else...I thank God that I TOO am ONE OF THOSE souls he reached out too...he gave 7 years of his life to New York City!!! I thank God that he answered the call!!! It wasn't until his 6th & final year as pastor there, that our family came into church...we were there for 9 months before we came to AZ and then right after that the Votaws left NYC for the mission fields of Asia...I THANK God that someone had a burden for NYC!!!

Sis. Kathy!!!

This is the woman that invited my Momma to a Pentecostal church!!! She told me that she was actually new in the church herself and that she would see my mom in the front yard of our house playing with us kids and she just wanted so badly for my mom to have what she had just recieved herself. It may have been just one person that she was witnessing to at that time, but that one person has had an affect on her own five children and now its her Grandchildren that are still recieving the blessing of Sis. Kathy's witness. 25 years ago, it wasn't just my mom...I may have only been two at the time, but it was ME she was winning too! I thank God she wasn't afraid to be a witness and that she didn't give up on my mom. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. (Acts 2:39) When you decide to live for God it doesn't just stop with you!
