In the spirit of thanksgiving, we praise God for the life and legacy of Elder Dr Mitchell Dawkins . He meant so much to so many. It is because of his walk and witness, that made such a positive difference in lives of his immediate and extended families ... Let us move forward, remembering his relationship with God as well as his commitment to his call to preach and teach ... We lift up in prayer his wife, his mother, his children, his grands and his brothers & sisters as well as the rest of his entire family ... As one of his classmates from our junior high days, his passing is so profound. But, we find comfort in knowing that God is in charge and in control !!!!
