love, loss and living again
Pastor Wes published Hope And A Future in 2012
Hope And A Future is Pastor Wes Richards' memoir of 'love, loss and living again,’ telling the story of how his family recovered from great sadness after the death of his wife Carol from cancer in 2002.
After Carol’s death, the three Richards children, Wesley, James and Melody met and then married two sisters and a brother from the same South African family. Today all three couples serve as pastors in the church, some as members of staff.
Pastor Wes Richards now has 13 grandchildren; nine boys and four girls.
“‘I could never have foreseen how our story would unfold after so much sadness. When we were at our lowest moments we found that our story was not over. Far from it. Your story is not over either.’”
