We all know Bishop was seriously faithful to God work, however the man of God has a great sense of humor and loved a good laugh. So it's early 2000's and some of the leaders flew to Houston, Texas to attend pastor I.V. Hillard church leadership conference. I had the awesome assignment of chauffeuring the man and woman of God, however I was a bit to cautious with driving, and I believe l hit a bump or two, so Bishop gives me this serious look with love, it's like he was saying really Brother I'm running late and you hit a bump and cause the first lady some concern, just Move over and let me drive. l am certain Bishop and pastor Joe had a good laugh at the new recruit. He allowed me to drive later.

Love and Peace

After attending church at Word of God Fellowship, I took my walk seriously. I was accountable to the Word of God and God. Before getting this teaching from Bishop Summerfield it was like a formality to go to church Sunday after leaving the club the night before too. I became a changed woman and for this I am forever grateful to Bishop Frank and Pastor JoeNell Summerfield.

"Bishop Summerfield thank you isn't enough. You have saved and changed many lives in my family. I am who I am because of the teaching received with you and Pastor JoeNell the past nineteen years. I can hear in my right ear because of your prayer. Purchased my house , purchased my Durango, started my business, survived loss of brother, mother, and dad because of your continual hope , prayers and teaching.

You gave my child a scholarship which led to a free college career and a position on an overseas team. Permitted her to be a legend in her sports career. You sir, helped my husband and I through critical times and counseled us. You encouraged me to be myself and soar with all my endeavors and to let go of past disappointments, failures, mistakes, etc.. Your words are forever embedded in my spirit and will propel me to the next level!! I will cherish my books and play the cds and read to refresh my Mekong regularly and be a good steward.

You was there at the most important time during my dad's funeral to speak and encourage our family. You trusted my family to do many things for your personal family and the ministry and I thank you. I will carry on with my head high and the work will continue. Our last conversation you told me to keep doing a great work in the community spreading hope . I was so happy you taught "Keep Hope Alive" because that was a confirmation that I was truly walking in my calling. Yet, again you gave me the answer. Rest now you have earned your crown.

I will bless the Lord at all times while spreading hope. I will be that Little God you told us we are Bishop. I will be steadfast and unloveable, and always abounding in the work of the Lord.. His praises will continually be in my mouth. Thank you sir. I loved and respected you so much. I will trust in the Lord and lean not to my understanding on this transition of yours sir. Well done. RIP in Heaven. #keephopealive

Your spiritual daughter
