Subject: IN JESUS NAME.
Dearest in the lord.
My greetings to you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ .I am Mrs. Joy Kone from South Africa.
I am married to Bernard. Kone who until his death served as an archdeacon in the St .Michael’s archdeaconry in Ivory Coast for nine years before he
died in the year 2005.
We were married for eleven years without a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days. Before his death we were both born again
Christians. Since his death I decided not to re-marry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which the Bible is against. When my late husband was alive he
deposited the sum of US $6.Million dollars (Six million Dollars)
in one of the famous finance/security organization here in Abidjan capital of Cote d'Ivoire. ( GLOBAL SECURITY COMPANY.)
Presently, my Doctor confirmed to me that I have serious sickness which is cancer problem. But the one that disturbs me most is my stroke sickness. Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to a church or individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct herein.
I want this money to be used in advancement of our Lord's kingdom,
such as improving the living condition of the orphans, helping the
widows, propagation of our Lord's word and to endeavor that the house of God is maintained. The Bible made us to understand that" Blessed is the hand that giveth".
I took this decision because I don’t have any child that will inherit this money, and my husband relatives are not Christians and I don’t want my husband’s efforts to be used by unbelievers. I don’t want a situation whereby this money will be used in an ungodly way. This is why I am taking this decision. I am not afraid of death hence I know that I am going to be in the bosom of the Lord. Exodus 14 VS 14 says that "the lord will fight my case and I shall hold my peace".
I don’t need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health condition, coupled with the presence of my husband’s relatives around me always. I don’t want them to know about this development. With God all things are possible.
I want you and the church to always pray for me because the lord is my shepherd. My happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Christian. Whosoever that Wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and Truth. Please always be prayerful all through your life.
Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I Stated herein.
Remain blessed in the Lord.
Yours in Christ,
Mrs. Joy Kone.
