Dear Sister Marilyn,

We are greatly saddened by the sudden departure of our beloved Brother Andrew, and we cannot fathom the depth of your loss of our dear brother. Though we are short of words to console you, Anna, and John, we hope to convey our sympathy from the church in New York City, and our standing firm with you and your family.

We are not only indebted to our brother in the Lord’s recovery in general, we are indebted to him for his care and help to the church in New York City in particular. His being poured out as a drink offering to serve us since 2014 culminated in the 2017 International Memorial Day Conference held in New York City, which was a landmark to us and to the Lord’s recovery. His words of healing and reconciliation in the conference brought many tears to the saints; his prayer of blessing still echoes and bears fruit today. His encouragement using Brother Lee’s notes brought us into the full blending of the Body of Christ. His trips to New York City and his intimate care to us in these years will be remembered for eternity.

Your loss is our loss, a loss unspeakable. We stand with you and your family in this difficult time.

Lord, Your Kingdom come and Your will be done.

In Christ,

The serving brothers in the church in New York City
