I had the great pleasure of meeting Apostle Avant in 2014 when I met My husband Allen Bowers. Allen introduced me to him. My husband grew up and was/still is a member of Calvary Baptist Church. Apostle Avant was very friendly when I met him and seemed so humble. Even though I didn't get a chance to get to know him better. I can tell he was a very godly man. He seemed as though he would help anyone in need. May God bless and keep his immediate family and the Calvary Baptist Church family...

A very special and loveable man of God. I will truly miss his seeing his smiling face. Many years under his ministry. He said a lot of encouraging words. Took me under his wings., even when I moved along he still asked me. I m sad that he is no longer with us ,but God said come on home. Surely your work is finished there. So now you can come and rest with the rest. With loving memories, Dinise Custis
