On behalf of Pastor Dr. Jerry Thompson, First Lady Sarah Thompson, and the entire Lambs Journey Apostolic Christian Center family, it is with deep sorrow and humble submission to the will of Almighty God that we acknowledge the passing of a beloved Mother in Christ, Lady Erma Gantt, First Lady and Overseer/Senior Administrator of Bethel Temple Apostolic Church in Tucson, Arizona.
We ask that you please keep her children, grandchildren, the Bethel Temple Apostolic Church family, and every life connected to her in your prayers during this difficult season.
Personally, Mother Gantt always called me her son. She spoke words of encouragement into my life consistently and when she gave me her word she showed up always, she was at my ordination and pastoral installation. I truly felt her love, support, and sincerity every single time we spoke. Those moments and memories will forever remain close to my heart.
We are grateful for the legacy she leaves behind and the love she poured into the Kingdom of God.
“Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” — John 14:27

Please remember in prayer her children, grandchildren, Bethel Temple Apostolic Church, and every soul connected to her in love. Mother Gantt served with great dedication in the Mountain States Council, PAW and we will sorely miss her smile, her voice, her humor, and the sincere heart she had for souls to be saved. We are deeply grateful for her significant impression and contributions to our Council and to the countless lives she touched..
