Call to prayer from Bishop Jack Lumanog – pray for our minority churches in the COVID-19 pandemic

The Surgeon General has been seemingly sidelined from briefings for pointing out the racial disparity of COVID-19 exposure impacting minorities at a much higher rate. 

We are seeing this in the church where the Church of God in Christ is mourning the loss of senior leaders who have died from COVID-19.

The First Assistant Presiding Bishop and at least 11 other bishops have died from COVID-19 according to news reports.

Lord, have mercy.

Rest in peace: Archbishop Randy Adler

I just heard from a friend that Archbishop Austin Randolph Adler passed away on December 9th (Obituary from Charisma News here). Here he is praying for me back in 1996 – when I was an Assemblies of God pastor discerning a call to the Priesthood.

He left an indelible mark on my ministry. I don’t think I would be a priest today had it not been for his prophetic teaching ministry that spoke so powerfully into my life. 

Rest in peace, Archbishop Randy. I thank God for bringing you into my life.
