I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Mr. Al Thompson. What a generous, kind, man he was. He helped to fulfill a vision of a Christian School for Word and Spirit Ministries many years ago. The school is no longer in commission, but many kids benefited from it nonetheless. I´m sure that there are many more instances of his generosity that could be shared by all who knew him. My heart goes out to his boys, and to the remainder of his family. God bless you, and receive you with open arms, Al.
