What Kind Of Asian Are You? Where Are You Really From?
Charles Cole III: Our Black Boys...
One of Gospel music's most beloved artists is mourning the loss of his wife.
Marvin Sapp's wife, MaLinda has died of colon cancer.
Earlier this year, Saap said MaLinda, who was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer in 2009, was recovering well and given a clean bill of health by doctors. But, more recently, her health had deteriorated and the 'Never Would've Made It' singer halted recording new music and touring to be by her side.
A few days ago, the Verity Gospel recording artist asked fans for their help praying around-the-clock for his wife.
MaLinda has played an integral part in Sapp's music success, having served as his manager and executive producer on several of his audio and video recordings.
She was also a limited licensed psychologist and college professor.
"In addition to being a dedicated wife, mother and co-laborer with Marvin Sapp at Lighthouse Full Life Center, where she served as administrative pastor, MaLinda managed the professional recording career of her husband," read a statement issued by Verity Gospel Music Vice President B. Jeffrey Grant-Clark. "Her legacy will be one of deep and unyielding faith; an unwavering commitment to her family and church; and excellence both in ministry and industry. Our prayers are with Marvin Sapp and his family during this time."
MaLinda Sapp was 43.

I am praying for you and your family, God, as you already known, makes no mistakes, Keep on serving the Lord, and singing to His Glory, You have a strong anointing, I sometimes get anointed just listening to you sing, God will see you and your family through. If your wife was saved, she is just sleep, for you know saints don't die. And if you are saved as well, you know you will one day see her again in glory.
Be Blessed.

Amazing that Pastor Sapp need our prayers now, because a lot of us Never Would Have Made It without his song.
May Jehovah God keep you strong in your time of sorrow

Angel,
First of all, I need to say I was a little taken aback by your comment. You do not get anointed by listening to Pastor Marvin's music ministry, you get blessed through the anointing God has placed on Pastor's life, as he's used as a vessel.
Secondly, to question the relationship of his wife, as well as his, was totally unappropriate. I'm hanging my head in shame for you, and all that truly don't understand what the Kingdom of God is all about! Good grief!

I am so sorry to hear of your loss, but God's grace and merceries will help you in this time of sorrow. I can say take the time off that you need to mourn your wife's passing for it is different with all of us, and God's knows this and will be there. May God's blessing be with you and your family is my prayer. Love you a praying partner....

To be absent from the body, is to be present with the Lord. I dont care how anointed or grounded in the Lord we are, death is still hard to deal with, exspecially when it's one of our love ones. I have prayed, and will continue too pray for you and your family. That the comfort, strength, and the peace of the Lord will over take you, and your family like never before. In JESUS Holy Name I Pray... Amen
Be Bless

Remetember man of God that our father in heaven has his hands all in this.We often time question god on the things that take place in our life not looking at the fact that we are overcome by our testimonies,and that our father makes no misteaks.
