A tribute to Rev Robert Lawson

29 January 2019 in /by

Robert was a friend. I met him first via Facebook, before ever meeting him in person. Later we would meet through the ministry of healing. He had a great online presence, and connected with many people that way.  Presence and gratitude are two realities that make me think of Robert the most. You could feel […]
