The church family of New Providence Baptist Church would like to send our condolences and our prayers for God’s Grace and Strength for the family during this time of loss. "To our loss, heavens gain". Erney was a great man of God, friend, brother, and notoriety of his Prophetic understanding of the Scriptures. I personally got much counsel and understanding from your dad’s insight to Biblical Prophecy. He was a soul-winner too. He was a joy to be around, always encouraging and praising the Lord for his workings in our lives. He will be missed greatly. The Lord bless you all !
In the Love of Jesus,
Pastor Ron Rush, Diddie(my wife), and the Church family of New Providence Baptist Church.
