Bishop Langston and his beautiful wife Maria demonstrated true Godly love and friendship towards me and the women I serve within my ministry (BreakThrough Ministries). Bishop and Lady Maria Langston allowed me to hold my yearly BreakThrough Ministries Conference at Hamilton Memorial Church SF, now St. James Cathedral and at "No Charge". His Prophetic Words before and following the conference were words of encouragement to me and the women in attendance, women who 'previously'' suffered in addiction, will remain in my heart as well as in theirs forever.
