To First Lady, Barbara Lockett, Faith, Joshua and Otis Lockett Jr.and "my" Evangel Family, I can't even begin to express the magnitude and impact of this lost. I was just returning from my mother's homegoing in NYC, when my sister asked me, had I heard from anybody from NC. I told her "no, but while I was rushing out to catch my train, I got a call from Greensboro but I kept going. She replied, "Sis. Clara, they have been trying to reach you. They said your pastor passed. I replied "What did you say?" she repeated " Your pastor passed." I just lost it. She began to pull over to the side of the road. The last time I spoke with Pastor Lockett, I asked about Mother George, Mother Turner and Mother Johnson. He said, "Sis. Clara, you need to come home and see them" ---with love, concern and compassion, ALWAYS!! Truly. he was my spiritual father! I always tell my friends and family, he has the heart, eyes and spirit of an eagle!! With ALL the members and others there, he always treated me just like I was loved. He radically changed my life, for the greater. There is no one and no where, that I have found a more giving and truly concerned shepherd for his sheep!! I'm so glad, so glad I wrote his notes in a hard-covered binder BUT what he imparted into my heart and life, I'll treasure. FOREVER!!! Thru each and every one of "us", Pastor Lockett's legacy will go on~~~!!! May God's strength, covering, peace. Word, and blessings abide with you!! ALL Deeply and Gratefully Yours, Sis. Clara M. Corbett. Richmond, VA.

To the First Lady Barbara Lockett Dr. Faith, Otis Jr. Joshua and other family members. I joined Evangel in 1997 on March 30th on Easter Sunday. I had been in church since the age of 8 years old. I was in a church for 34 years. In six months Bishop Otis Lockett taught me more than I had learned in The Word for 34 years, still learing and in love with the words of God because of your son, brother, cousin, husband, son-ln-law and father. I met him on a one to one meeting in that May. In this short time I had my feelings hurt by three members of the church. :(( I talk to Pastor Lockett, at that time and he was easy for me to talk with. I shared a few things with him asked a lot of Questions! In the in of our metting I shared with him about getting my feelings hurt. Pastor ask me to give him a year of his teaching and he ask me to be a Big Girl to approach these members, ask for a hug. I obeyed him, this was not easy for me, and the three member looked at me like I was crazy. :)) It was almost 16 years ago, I am still here! Bishop Lockett help me change my life, I learn to forgive those who hurt my feelings because these things will happen. Jesus was hurt a lot more than I! It is because He lives I can face tomorrow and because of Bidhop Lockett I will keep the faith, trust in the Lord that one day I will see Bishop Lockett again with that smile that I will keep on my mind and in my heart. There will come times that I will feel hurt, because Bishop is not here on Earth. He is in the arms of our Father God. So I say to the Lockett family, each time that you are missing him, Stop and think, he want you to know that he is still with you in the Spirit and he is saying, Life goes on! I am blessed to be in the Evangel Family. I love you, Lady Di. :))

I'm so hurt to hear the loss of Bishop Otis Lockett. I joined Evangel in 1999 with a great big welcome from Bishop Lockett. He took me under his spiritual wing and told me I had a calling for a special ministry. In conclusion I would like to say hat I will pray for the strength and comfort of the Lockett family. To the first lady and children, your husband/father changed my life and actually saved it. God Bless

It is with my deepest sympathy to you First Lady Lockett, children and the entire Evangel Fellowship Church Family to here of the passing of my "father in the gospel". I appreciate the wonderful teachings of your ministry. I will never forget where I first received my spiritual training. As the days go by, just know that I along with many, many others will be praying for you and yours. I love you and may heaven ever smile upon you.

To the family, may God keep all of you in His arms. Bro. Pastor saw something special with the Heavenly Voices and gave us a plateform to worship and for that I have always been greatful. Thank God the dream is still alive. I love you dearly and pray for the day that we all shall meet again. Hugs and kisses to each of you.

It is hard to beleive that Dr. Lockett is no longer here on earth. It is without question that he positively impacted those who were privileged to come into contact with him. Bishop Lockett taught me that there is no possible problem without a possible solution. I refer to this quote in all aspects of my life. I pray that God will send forth His angels to comfort and protect the Lockett and Evangel Fellowship family.

I only followed Bishop Locket via internet but it felt good to know that our church had a man of his caliber serving. Another giant has fallen on earth not to participate in earthly matters but to be in the presence of the lord as one in a great cloud of witnesses.

To the Lockett Family: Nothing can be said that has not already been said and yet that is not enough to fill the void that is left in your life. Prayer is all we have to offer. I will continue to pray for the family, churches and remember the legacy that Bishop has left on record. Continue on in the strength of the Lord. I only hope that I too can touch lives and have a great impact in ministry.

With much love,

My prayers go out to the Lockett family, the Evangel Fellowship COGIC, and the North Carolina Second Jurisdiction during this difficult time. My aunt was a member of his church . She always told us about how he helped her grow in Christ. I know his presence will surely be missed.
