Beverly's Testimony Spoken from Bev Sr. himself: My body went septic 8 years ago and I was rushed to Norfolk General Hospital where I went under extensive surgery. While I was there on the operating table, I passed away and my spirit came out of my body. I could see everyone working on me - the doctor and the nurses. I saw a wonderful bright light. I wanted to go to the light and not back to my body. But a force sent me back. Three days later I was in the ICU room and saw a lady in a white robe standing beside my bedside. The lady told me that I was done on this earth yet and I was to tell my story to everyone that I would encounter. I have told this story thousands of times to people I have come across over the years as well as all my doctors and nurses. With this story, I pray that I was able to lead a lot of people to Christ. So now I hear my Father say to me: “Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things. I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness.”
