I am so sorry about the loss of Bishop Kelly. He had such a beautiful spirit. I pray that God continues to give strength to his family.
Bishop Kelly was a wonderful man of God. He touched my life and I have not been the same since. My prayers are with both his natural and spiritual family.
Bishop Kelly will be greatly missed. I enjoyed his prophetical expressions during the Holy Convocation. He was most definitely a "Spirit-led" bishop. God's grace be to the Kelly Family, Faith Temple COGIC, Rapid City, SD, & the South Dakota Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction.
Bishop Lorenzo Kelly was a remarkable and anointed leader. I so remember his testimony at the Holy Convocation in Memphis and how powerful it was. He was a bishop that took time to talk with you…will never forget his words of wisdom which I will treasure. Praying for his family during this time of sorrow.
