Our deepest condolences to the Johnson family. Rev. Johnson and his wife Rita knew how to make everyone feel welcome in the house of God. Rev. Johnson was a man of God that could preach a sermon that made you feel you had a word from God himself. His sermons were so powerful that my daughters and I decided to be baptized by him and join his church. Thank you for showing us the spiritual light and may you rest in peace. Judy, Kayla and Kristin Foy
