Prophetess Bonnie Mitchell, A great woman of GOD. She was a powerful teacher and an annointed preacher. She spoke into my life many years ago, played hands and ordained me as an evangelist. I am deeply sadden by her demise. My condolences to Apostle Larry D. Mitchell my spiritual father and family. I mourn the GEM that heaven has gained. She truly fought a great fight.

WOW! This was a very back shock! I pray that the Lord gives all of her family the strength to make it through this journey. Pastor Bonnie was a wonderful woman inside and out! When our church would visit{DMRC} their church. She would have a infinite smile; that was always true. Each time my sister and I{The Chosen Appointed and Anointed Henderson Sisters} would sing, she would always say "sing it for me baby". will always remember her. I will always have love for her, the church family.

Dr Mitchell,
You have blessed me more than you would ever know! From the moment I met you I loved you. I appreciated you when you opened your church and your heart to me and was nonjudgmental; you had me hooked! You dedicated my babies and you allowed me to be me. You were always Regal and Royal to me. I was in awe of you; as many people were. I knew I could call you on the phone (as I have) and you would be there for me. You have counseled me on many, many occasions and truly held your position as my "Spiritual Mother". You have been a tireless worker for Gods kingdom. You have saved many lives. You have earned your crown! WELL DONE - WOMAN OF GOD; WELL DONE!! I will ALWAYS miss you. I LOVE you forever. You are my forever Pastor.

May God bless you Apostle Prophet Mitchell and your family in this time of grief. Look to the hills where your help comes from Psalms 121:1-2 You both are truly loved by family a host of friends, clergy, students and others. I pray a supernatural strength and comfort overtakes you heart for you and the children(adults of you both) be blessed and God has favor and healing for this loss to the earth but a gain in heaven. I rejoice with gladness that she is walking with Jesus and on the other side waiting on the rest of us to make it in just as she has done. Sis Wannette from Jacksonville Florida

Prophetess Mitchell reminds me of the quote, “my life is my message!” There was no doubt that she loved the Lord and her family. She inspired so many and her love, her teachings and her works will never be forgotten. I appreciate the lessons learned, as I grew up admiring her as a strong woman. I will be forever grateful for her influence.
