“I just collapsed”, “ Dwan Dandrige, founder of black leaders Detroit, was a close friend of the Agbottah family. “And I don't know if I collapsed it as much for Kwasi and Elizabeth as for their five children.”

“This is the most devastating part of it. They were so intended to love and train their children.” Pastor van Andel said.

The terms and conditions, which originally came from Texas and the Carolinas, came to Detroit for the first time almost 20 years ago and planted roots in Brightmoor, where they worked and served in various ministries.

“They looked at urban missionaries, and so they were on a mission and wanted to overlooked an overlooked, overlooked, overlooked.” Said Pastor Carr.

“We could have been the poorest postcode in the state of Michigan, and at that time I would even imagine against other places in the United States. So that someone was deliberately coming here, it was really a testimony to their obedience to what they called for God,” said Pastor Thomas.

“You actually decided not to have a vehicle so that you could walk through the streets and take the bus to be present with people in the community that we don't do if we get into a car and drive around,” said Pastor van Andel.

Her friends often secure donations for the Conditions, just to learn the couple who lived so openly, they would give away other families in greater need.

“Some of me said:” Arrghhh !! Ya will use it, “said Dandridge.
