    Bishop Alton “Tony” Newsome was and shall ever be one of the most influential men in my life! It’s often said of anyone that makes a profound impact on someone’s life that “there will never be another one like them”. Oh, how this rings true for me of this man! His teaching of God’s word, the examples of living a godly and holy life, his generosity (in all forms), his counsel, our casual talks, his humor, his selflessness, his perseverance, his hugs and laughter and much more will I remember for the rest of my days. He loved my family and they loved him. I’m pleased that God chose him to be my pastor. To God be the glory for the great things He has done. I bow in humbleness to His will.
    Love always, Cindy

      May the God of our salvation keep us and help us to be ready, not get ready, but truly be ready when our day comes. Jesus said, if any of you want to come with me, you must forget yourself, and carry your cross, and follow me. This man carried his cross. He didn’t make excuses, but he knew the charge and made it clear to all those he knew to be about the Father’s business. He truly loved God and God’s people. God said, “feed my sheep” and he did just that to the very end. He will truly be missed. May the peace, comfort and strength of God be with the Newsome Family and the Bibleway Holiness Church Family. My prayers are with you all.🙏🏾💕
