A Virginia evangelical pastor has died after contracting the CCP virus, weeks after holding a packed service in his Richmond church.
Bishop Gerald O. Glenn, 66, founder and pastor of the New Deliverance Evangelistic Church in Chesterfield, died on April 11, the church announced on Easter Sunday.
“It is with an exceedingly sorrowful and heavy heart that I come to you this morning, and regret to inform you, that on last night, April 11 at 9 p.m., our father Bishop Gerald Glenn transitioned from labor to reward,”church member Bryan Nevers announced in a YouTube video.
News of Glenn’s death came a week after the church announced he had tested positive for the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, commonly known as the novel coronavirus.
His daughter, Mar-Gerie Crawley, told WTVR that he had a pre-existing condition that causes inflammation of the intestines, so she wasn’t too alarmed when he began to display symptoms on April 5.
“He has diverticulitis, so it’s not uncommon for him to get fevers or you know virus or sinus infection,” she said.
His health quickly deteriorated despite receiving medical care in hospital. He soon struggled with his breathing and was put on a ventilator, Crawley said.
Before Glenn was diagnosed with the CCP virus, he held a congregation at the New Deliverance Evangelistic Church on March 22, where he told attendees:
“I firmly believe that God is larger than this dreaded virus.”

ReplyDeleteBreak the law, pay the price. This time it was death. Ok, thank u for your service. Tomorrow the sun will still rise in the east.
ReplyDeleteHarsh? You bet, but when someone thinks they are better than the law AND risk others lives, I'm sorry.
Next.
8:37 Whose law did Gerald O. Glen break? Some laws are have been written just for control and revenue. My guess is that you are a true and devoted sheeple unable to think for yourself, believing the police will protect you from all evil.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't the bible say something about "pride goeth before a fall?" Case in point.
ReplyDeleteStay in place order 837? He died because HE decided it was ok for folks to come (PACK) his Richmond Church. His decision KILLED him and possibly others.
ReplyDeleteIf you don't like living here in the USA and love to bitch/moan all the time, take your happy a$$ somewhere else where bitching/moaning may work.
Canada maybe?
Mexico, ha we'll see how long your bitchin lasts.
Europe? No guns in several countries - you'd love that.
Central/South America? Well at least the word AMERICA is common.
Pound sand a$$hat.
One of the local TV stations did a 3 minute story on him this week. Of course they ‘forgot’ to mention his stupid behavior and and portrayed him as a near saint and innocent victim.
ReplyDeleteNorthwest Woodsman: At least now, he will not have to speak so loudly for his voice to be heard by god.
ReplyDeleteWoodie,
DeleteYou are obviously hoping the stories of a Judgement Day before a Creator are all fairy tales.
Right?
