It was an honor for me personally to meet Bishop Walter Hawkins in the mid 80s in Oakland California while I was serving in the U.S. Navy as a young music playing for a multicultural children’s choir for the theme song called "We are the children" at the United Methodist Church. He's music had transcended throughout the world in making this a better place to live for all people from every walk of life. We will deeply miss Bishop and our prayers will always continue for his family during this sad but rejoyful time of celebration for our Kingdom General.My blessings
