In Memory of MaLinda Sapp

MaLinda Sapp passed away this Thursday of colon cancer. The wife of Marvin Sapp, she co-pastored Lighthouse with her husband here in Grand Rapids. MaLinda was an influential speaker, a woman of the community, a loving mother of three, and family to so many more. Most of all, she was a woman after God's own heart. She lived her life for Christ, and though we mourn for her loss, we know her joy in going home.

We at Baker Book House extend our heartfelt thoughts and prayers to the Sapp family and to her community at Lighthouse. Please, take just a moment to lift up the Sapp family in prayer with us.

Here's how our local news station honored her...
