Hoy, Roger I met Roger, his wife and daughter whilst attending Christian City Church at Kirra on the Gold Coast. Personally I have some very fond memories from the very first time we met. His wife prayed over me at a healing service conducted at the church, the effect was that I survived after been given only days to live. The surgeon who operated on me was waiting when I came at the hospital, his statement to me was that the growth inside of me had reduced in size and that was something that he thought was medically impossible. I am saddened to today learn of his passing. To his family my sincere condolences. Not a day passes without me being forever grateful for our meeting.
