I'm justvnow seeing this.i grew up watching him preach on TV as a teen and even into my late 20s. He was an awesome man and even though I was not attending the church even just turning the TV on once I started watching every time it's like I couldn't turn it off you truly could feel God through the TV and everything he spoke was complete truth. So sad to hear this news but just like everybody else I know I will see him One Day in heaven prayers for the family

To Mrs. Gool and Family
Pastor Gool will be missed and was a light to so many lives.
Thank you for sharing your husband with so many people. In the death of my husband, Pastor Archie Smith of Gates of Praise Christian Church Durham, NC, Pastor Gool came to Durham, NC and preached for God's Generals Conferences(Founded by Pastor Archie Smith) and seek me out, pull me aside and poured wisdom into me for awhile. You will never know how much strength, I got that night because I was so broken in the inside. Thanks be to God for the healing oil that was poured into my wounds that might.
I continue to pray for your strength, healing and let God direct your every move and decision you have to make.
God bless.....

Please know that my sincerest sympathy goes out to the family of Pastor Robyn Gool. He was an Awesome teacher, leader, & influencer of God's word through radio, tv, online, and in person. While a member with a different congregation 3-4 decades ago, I came upon his radio broadcast on WOGR Christian radio 1540 am. I could serve as a wife and mother while tapping in on Christian fortification during the day. I can remember many times of worship at the Church In The City were I'd come to Worship where I could be on-time and he would actually be preaching there that Sunday! & The amount of men in Victory Christian Center who were utilizing their lives in the work of the Lord was absolutely stunning for me to see! Appreciatively, he was a truly inspirational Man of God with a calling to be outstandingly peculiar.

That's where I discovered the true meaning of salvation. I accepted Christ as my true savior ! ,I continued to follow Pastor Gool on his journey! I received the gift of speaking in tongues from his service! Pastor Gool teachings taught me so much about God's word! My Christian life has been blessed so much by being under his leadership for 7 years! Thank you for sharing him with me and so many other believers, ! I love you Marilyn and family!

Pastor Gool was the best! I knew you as a teenager. I was 13 when you came to Faith CME. You were a young Pastor right out of college. You changed my life and the life of my family. You encouraged many young people in that church to serve God and live a life as a Christian. If not for your guidance all those years ago, this journey would have been much harder. You were at my mom’s funeral to support us. To your wife and family, I was sorry to hear of your passing. I pray for your family and church family. You are loved so Pastor Gool.

And that day didn't happen he gone on home to be with the Lord Jesus Christ and with his son and with my three baby and my mother and with the others saints of God until Jesus Christ return again for the saints of God.And Moses Hamilton is with the Lord Jesus Christ he passed away in January 13 of this year.he was 84 year old.And I thank God for the time that I got to know Pastor Robyn Gool his work was done on this earth and he has been a faithful servant of God his work wasn't in vine he has gotten his rewards and heaven well done thou good and faithful servant thou has been faithful over many things.And just remember that we got to hold on and to remember the good times that we had with our love one's.My baby's been with the Lord for 30 years and Jesus told me to release them and I did but I will always remember the good times and I thank God for Pastor Robyn Gool and for you as well Mrs Gool and I will continue keep you and the family members and my prayers as always.And I will come and give my testimony one of these days Lord willing nothing don't happen.And I love you all and just hold on and he will be great miss be blessed and the Lord Jesus Christ.
