Hope and a Future by Wes Richards
Wes Richards is senior pastor, of King's Church International in Windsor. When his wife Carol died of cancer in June 2002 at the age of 51, the whole family was devastated. Yet in the time of their greatest sadness, good news and great healing were coming their way. After Carol's death the three Richards children, Wesley, James and Melody, met and fell in love with two sisters and a brother from the same South African family, resulting in three weddings. The wheel comes full circle; out of despair comes hope; there is a future. This is a simple story, well told, a testament of new horizons from a man who has suffered deeply.
