The devil is busy doing his job...killing, stealing, and destroying. It is us the saints of God who is lacking on our job. We need to do more praying of one another. That is where the saints of God get strenght from (there is power in number). Lets do what it is that we should be doing PRAYING. My prayer is with Rev. Wright and his family during there time of lost. I pray that Rev. Wright will be healed by the power of God and continue to bless us with the gift God has given him.
Earth has know sorrow that heaven can not heal. My prayers are with Rev. Wright and his family and I feel their pain because we are one in Christ.
My thoughts and prayers go out to the Wright family in their time of need. I wish you all the best.

Our prayers go out to the Wright Family and Church for their lost, we know God is still in control. We pray God's will in all things for this family.
My prayers go out to the Rev. Wright family. We never know when tragidy will strike, but one thing that will comfort the family is to know that his loved ones are in the hands of Jesus. We also need to pray for the man that was on the wrong side of the road, pray for his family also. I cannot comprehend the agony that they are going through. God Bless the families.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

I hope am pray that Mr. Wright had his act completly together, because if he did not God the Fsther will severly judge him! and that goes for anyone that was in hi shoes!
I just happened upon this article while reading my email from "Good News for Christian Music Fans, from: Beliefnet Presents", and what a shock to my system. I truly loved their ministry. May God rest their souls (Betty Wright and DJ), and may God heal and lift up Rev. Wright so that he may continue to do God's work.
I am so sorry for your loss. Being single (46 years old) and never married before, I can't relate to being a father, but my father and mother also lost my sister at age 30 in 1989. I know things may not seem right for you right now, but please keep holding firm in the faith and conttiue to reach out to the lost and the unlost. I am sure your son is in heaven and has many jewels on hs crow. God bless and love you. I love you!

MY PRAYERS ARE WITH THE NATURAL AND CHURCH FAMILY. GOD IS WITH YOU AND SO ARE THE PRAYERS OF SO MANY PEOPLE. I PRAY YOU FIND COMFORT IN TIME AND I AM SO GLAD I HAVE HAD THE PLEASURE OF MEETING HIM AT A CHURCH CONCERT IN THE BRONX. KNOW THAT YOU ARE LOVED AND TIME HEALS ALL. GOD BLESS YOU AND CONTINUE TO HAVE HIS WAY IN THE VISION OF THE CHURCH.
Mr. Hill, are you serious? A man of God, regardless of his trangressions or inquiquities needs prayer, healing and miracles in a time of such pain. He doesn't need a judgement check. Please take the time to acknowledge how your comments can affect the lives of others...it is not wise OR Christian-like to kick someone when they are already down.
I pray that the Father has mercy on you Rev. Wright, for he is a gracious and merciful God. He is a healing God, an almighty God, and there is nothing he cannot do for you...My prayers are with you and your family....In Jesus Name.
Rev. Wright, this is your friend in Toledo, Oh. I pray that God continues to strengthen you at such a devastating time in your life. I know that without a doubt, it is incomprehensible for you at this time. Tragedies have no eyes to see ahead but know that because you love Jesus, you will be strengthened in this lifelong process of Gracefully adjusting. You have been blessed with so many across this country who have you at the top of their prayer list. Acts 2:44 says that "when all were together, they had all things in common. The commonality that we all have now is YOU! The Bethesda Christian Center Cathedral has your family on our minds and we intend to stay right there. Know that we love you and mourn the loss of our sister and your grandson. We want you to continue to make progress and we will see you real soon! Much love to you.
Your family in Toledo,
Bishop Marjorie Holt & Bethesda

I have not come to say a lot of empty words. But I do believe that the prayers and the Love of the people all over the country and abroad will help you through this time. Hi, My name is Min. Evelyn Tyler I am in Clarksville, Tn. I had the great opportunity to have been singing in the only American choir in Barbados during the year 2004 and we sang back up for the awsome Rev. Timothy Wright. We had a chance to fellowship with Pastor Wright, Kirk Franklin, Dorothy Norfleet, Dr. Bobby Jones and others. It was a great experience and Pastor Wright had as great a character as he did music ministry, and I know that for our choir "The Voices Of Faith" we felt that we were graced by greatness through this great man of God. God bless you and ever keep you. Min. Evelyn Tyler
