PASTOR DROPS DEAD IN FRONT OF CONGREGATION AFTER CONFESSING TO AFFAIR

Image
MFWO-MINISTRIES.ORG Bishop  Bobby Davis of Miracle Faith World  Outreach Church  in Bridgeport, Conn. approached his congregation after a service on Sunday so that he could share something important with them. As it turns out, Davis confessed to them that he had engaged in an affair years ago, and it had been weighing heavily on him emotionally. In the midst of his church members confronting Bishop Davis about what he had to say, he dropped dead in front of the congregation. According to the Connecticut Post , those present outside of the church during the time of Bishop’s confession say it was very loud in the sanctuary, and it didn’t seem positive, but members of the church that were inside at the time claim that they were actually shouting out their support to Bishop Davis, not yelling at him negatively. But elder Judy Stovall said the stress of it all and the secret in general caused him to fall out.
