Vanessa Whitwell will be missed
Written by Matt McKee // April 7, 2008 // Ministry // 1 Comment
I had the privilege to work with Vanessa Whitwell for 5 years at Fellowship Church. She was a very special person and highly gifted by God. She had many roles at Fellowship Church but the one I will remember the most is being an incredible Drama Director. She let me do a lot of really cool stuff on the main stage at Fellowship and I didn’t say thank you enough. Everything from acting to voicer overs was only common place. When she got her new Volvo she let me drive it that day like it was nothing. She loved life and the people that were in her life. I am only one of thousands upon thousands of people who were touched by her.
I pray today for her husband and family. I pray for the staff of Fellowship Church. I pray for the many people that will miss her incredible voice and on stage presence. Thank you God for letting me know Vanessa and for being able to work with her.
Here is what it says on Fellowship Church.com about Vanessa.
