To the Rainwater family, I am praying for you. I worked at Ford Motor Co. with Don. I am a Pastor and minister of the Gospel. I know that Jesus can heal all wounds. Trust the Lord with all your heart and lean not to your own understanding, In all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your path. God Bless you.

Pauline, may the LORD be your strength and incouragement in the following days for your physical loss. Rest assured that pastor Howard is rejoicing in GOD's GLORY. Pastor Howard was a Spiritual father to me in my young life with the LORD. He gave me alot of GODLY guidance in those early years. I thank the LORD for the time you and pastor Howard gave to me and Barb. I also thank the LORD and rejoice that pastor Howard is in HEAVEN, because I know we will met again. BRUCE SELLERS

I am so sorry to hear of Pastor Rainwaters death, I know he will be missed. He was very instrumental in my life at Community Bible Church. He and Pauline were good friends in those years and I appreciated what they did for us(Bruce & me) I know he loved the Lord and is happy he reached his final resting place. My prayers are with the family.
