Fellow Florida District Pastors,

Your colleague, Abishai McDonald, was gloriously ushered into the Lord's presence at 2:06 this morning... now safe in the arms of Jesus. Following months of limited mobility, pain and uncertainty, today A bishai's first steps were on the streets of pure gold. He died with his faithful wife Brittany and mother at his side. Arrangements for the memorial service are unavailable at this time.
 
All of you are asking, 'what can I do to help?' The need is great. The family deeply appreciates those of you who have helped financially in the past.  I'm asking every Florida District Congregation to receive an offering for the McDonalds this Sunday morning. With a strong faith for his healing and mounting medical expenses, Abishai and Brittany made a decision months ago to cancel his life insurance policy. There are no reserves for funeral expenses or other financial demands which include Brittany, Shia (6) and Aniya's (4), relocation to Colorado where they can be near family. 
 
Please send your check to the Florida District Resource Center marked,  Abashai McDonald Memorial FundAttached here is a bulletin insert for your convenience. I'm truly blessed to serve beside the most compassionate and generous group of pastors in the denomination.

We have also found that a "Go Fund Me" account is established in Abishai's name. That avenue of giving can be accessed here. 
 
Now and always, overflowing with hope,

Larry
