Pastor Ed Hartnell

A preacher in the house of preachers

On June 1, 2007. Our very own Pastor Edward “Angel Boy” Hartnell went to be with the Lord.

When he passed I know GOD had his special angels standing by his side to take him by the hand to his home in heaven. He was loved by many, a cherished treasure. We at the True Vine were able to witness his passion and sincere love for the children of God. Many times over he would be found helping a needy brother or sister, giving them God’s promises and reassuring them that GOD loved them, and that GOD could do great things for them if they were willing. He had a lifetime of achievements for the kingdom of GOD. He was unique, and special in the eyes of GOD. If you ever met him, you would never forget him. You could tell right away he meant what he said. He lived for GOD, he loved GOD with all of his Heart.

We at the True Vine will forever be in his debt for his dedication and hard work for this ministry. His blood, sweat, and tears will always be remembered. We appreciate him and owe him much gratitude. He will never be forgotten. I know that he will hear from the mouth of GOD "Enter in my good and faithful servant, for you are well pleasing to me, I love you."

I look forward to the day that I will be with Ed and many other of my brothers and sisters in the kingdom of GOD. We serve the True and Living GOD, whom shall we fear? Death has no sting and the grave has no victory! Our LORD holds the keys to Hell and Death. Be of good cheer my beloved for I have overcome all things and stand by the right hand of GOD. I know Edwards words will ring in your ears from time to time, remember what he told you and rejoice, because that will prove to you the profound impact he had on your life. Pick up your cross and follow him.

Love always,
Pastor James
