A Sad Note

I was informed a short while ago that Greg Pembo, pastor of Vieux Carre Assembly of God, passed away following a stroke earlier in the week. I met pastor Pembo only once but his reputation of being an authentic witness and a man of integrity was well known among those that spent any time serving in the French Quarter. Greg went from bar owner to preacher through the grace of Jesus Christ and served at Vieux Carre Assembly of God for, I believe, fifteen years. His unexpected death is a shock that leaves a void not only with his family but in gospel ministry to the French Quarter. Please join me in prayer for the Pembo family in this time of loss.
