My pastor, friend, counselor and shepherd; thank you for your supreme example of Christ's love, favor, faith, sacrifice & grace. You lit a path we all hope to follow, you led a life we all need to meet, you gave us insight about God and the scriptures that we all must share. All who met you are much the better for it and we rejoice for your reunion with loved ones and that you rest in the arms of Jesus - Thank You, Thank You and to everyone that loves him, peace and comfort to us all.

Even though I know you are rejoicing in heaven , we miss you here. I consider it an honor to have been under your instruction and guidance. I will never forget the talks that we had and how you helped me in the darkest hour of my life. I will miss you tremendously.

We will miss pastor Jerry. Martin and his family have been long time members of lifechurch. We love our church family and our lord.

My sincere condolences. I only had the privilege of spending a little time with Mr. Bishop, but was was impacted by his words and stories. My prayers for your entire family. Thank you for letting us care for Mr. Bishop.

Keith Dixon, MSPT

Happy you are at the place we all long to be. WELL DONE!!! We miss you here.

As a member of Faith Christian Family Church for many years in Panama City, I was very blessed to hear Pastor Bishop come give his testimony at his son Markus Bishop's church. His amazing story of his hands being miraculusly cured after an extreme electric burn accident has been forever etched in my mind. He was a fine man and will be missed by so many. Now he's stepped into Glory, and my condolences to my former Pastor Markus Bishop and the girls, and to all of his loved ones. Love to you all.

Rick, Mark, Sheree, and Aimee, Ron and I were very blessed to know your dad and mom as we both served Crosscreek Baptist Church when you'all were teenagers. Actually, Aimee, you were still a little girl.
I don't suppose you'all will remember us, but we certainly remember your family as very special! God bless you in this time of sorrow. Jerry and Mary K are so fondly remembered by us!
