Bro Phil Morris was a genuine Man of God . I´ve known him for several years every time i´d see him he would always have a encouraging word . His FAITH was truely unfeigned . I´d hear his testimony and leave challenged . If you have never heard his story you are missing out on a life experience. The last time i talked to him was at the flea market in London . He walked up to me and my boys who are 15 & 17 and told them how blessed they where to have me as a dad and that i was a Man of God . I appreciated his comments. He also told me that he had his testimony on CD now and to meet him outside he would get me a copy . Needless to say i go distracted and never got back up with him . I met Bro Philip through two of his boys Bro Jon and Ben . They two have the same FAITH as their DAD . We have went to Chuch together and Youth Camp and also worked together . Bro Phillip is and will always be etched in my spiritual life . God grant me this same faith that surpasses the seen and heard to experience the reality of Gods Miraculous Ways ..

Brother Phil was a man of God and a family man. I remember so many testimonies and stories of this man and every single one was about God.
Matthew 25:21
21 His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
The Morris's were friends, but I consider them family.
Bro Phil, you will be missed

I knew and worked with Phil Morris at KBI for just shy of 4 years between 2017-2021. In Phil I saw a man with an unwavering love of Jesus Christ. As my time working with Phil increased, so did my respect for him. He was stern yet fair. He never failed to be at work each day bright ansmd early. I recall one Thanksgiving to come when I had been lightheartedly trying to convince him to give us the day after off of work. Each time I mentioned it he would just smile and chuckle a bit. So finally one morning as he passed my work station I said "so Phil, where do we stand on the day after Thanksgiving" he paused a moment, then replied "Right where you stand" with a huge grin on his face. Me and my work mate Jordan Phillips busted out in laughter. I will always remember that.
Phil was a great man with a good sense of humor.
He will be missed by many.
