TO THE FAMILY AND FRIENDS OF MR. JAMES HOLT MAY GOD BE WITH YOU ALWAYS.

Brother James Holt served the Lord in song with the Men-In-Black, Male Chorus of Garden of Prayer No. 7, Vision of Faith Ministries.

Our Brother in Christ and our friend was needed by the Lord, we believe he has joined the Heavenly Choir and is now singing with the Angels. His presence and his voice will be sadly missed be all who knew him.

Ecclesiastes 3: 1
To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

God makes no mistakes, this was Brother Holt's season, just as it is our time to mourn; nevertheless, weeping may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning.

Trust in the Lord and lean not unto your own understanding. God is past finding out. Brother Holt is resting in peace. God be with you all in this trying time.

Resting in the arms of Jesus, no more, sorrow, pain or tears. Brother Holt has found peace in the Heavenly High places, a place promised to us by Our Father.

The Word of the Lord, John 14: 2-3 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

The sun rose and the sun has set, but one day Brother Holt will rise again in the name of Jesus. Be strong and trust in the promises of the Lord.
