To the family, we would like to express our sincere condolences and send our Christian love along with some words of encouragement. The Bible reports many instances of human’s young, old, male and female who was brought back to life on earth. God hate death he views it as an enemy. (1 Corinthians 15:26) He has a yearning to conquer that enemy, to undo death by means of a resurrection. He longs to bring back those who are in his memory and to see them live on earth again. (Job 14:14, 15 please read) For additional information on this and many other Bible topics please visit www.jw.org

Fields Family, I am very sorry for your loss. I would like to share a scripture that I hope brings you comfort during this difficult time. "The hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out." -John 5:28. This scripture shows that God has promised to restore the dead to life by the means of the resurrection. You have the prospect of being reunited with loved ones right here on earth but under very different conditions! For additional encouraging information please visit www.jw.org

You have my deepest sympathy on the loss of your dear loved one. May you receive the strength needed to move forward during this most challenging time. The Bible promises one day we will not have to experience death. Isaiah 25:8 says, " He will swallow up death forever,And the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will wipe away the tears from all faces, The reproach of his people he will take away from all the earth,For Jehovah himself has spoken it. Please take comfort in knowing death will be gone and John 5:28,29 will be fulfilled.

Peace to the BISHOP'S FAMILY and OTHERS:

The 'earthbound' book version of our dearly beloved servant leader may be considered completed; it truly depends, upon the interpretative mindset of the reader.

What did I learn from knowing JAMES? Can my thoughts be put into action?
Will I remember to smile, even when frowning, seems more befitting?

Sometimes, not always, we spoke the same language. The commonality of such was LOVE and SERVICE for JESUS, OUR LORD and KING!

Dance now for one more leader that LIVED to LIVE again...

Please join me in honoring his legacy by reading/comprehending the last chapter/page, Revelation 22, of a BESTSELLER...THE BIBLE.

U R WELL LOVED! ;)

I am because GOD IS...

Dear Family,

I sincerely express my condolences at the passing of Rev. James Fields. I met James and Rev. Sirdelrol Drayton when they first came to Atlanta to Morehouse College. They joined my church, Bethlehem Baptist, and served faithfully there in the music and youth departments. James lived with me and my sister for a while during his early years at Morehouse. I was very proud of his accomplishments and I am so sad to hear the news of his passing; yet I know that God makes no mistakes and He has called his servant home. It is my prayer that you and the New Hope Church family will find solace in the assurance of your faith as you cherish his memory. May God forever reign in your lives.
