It's always hard to lose a loved one. Revalation 21:3,4 says "With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”
Glen Was Amazing Guy!! Nothing Put Him Down!! He Is Going To Do Any Thing He Wants To Do!! He Didn't Lesson To Any One His Mind Was Made Up & He Did What He Wanted To Do!!!
He Was So Good To My Mom He Came & Saw Her & Prayed Over Her Several Times!!

I am so sorry for the loss of such a great man. My prayers go out to his children and his wife. He was an amazing pastor with great knowledge of the Word of God. He pastored me for man years and my children. He is with Jesus now and has a reward he strived for with great honor. Lovingly to the Cox Family.
Sis. Tam, Sis. Yolanda and Mr. Steve, I'm so sorry for your loss. I feel so much grief and hurt at the loss of my spiritual father/leader. I cannot imagine the grief each of you must feel. I send all of you and your families all my love and condolences. May God comfort each of you with peace and strength.
Sis. Jenny and Sis. Kimberly, I send my condolences to you and your family as well. I know Bro. Cox was blessed to have such a wonderful 2nd opportunity at happiness, just as much as each of you were blessed to have him in your lives. Sis. Jenny, I love you with all of my heart and I want you to know that you are in my prayers. God bless.
I had the privilege of attending Bible school with Glenn for a year at Apostolic Bible Institute in St.Paul, Mn. and found him to be a true Christian. His love for God is very evident by what he accomplished for God's kingdom.
