On December 29, 1995, Pastor Vincent was hit by an aggressive moving truck in steady moving traffic that cracked his skull, leaving him unconscious and drastically beat up from the impact of the Chevy S-10 truck. He was unrecognizable from the hole in his right temple, his face was dis-configured from the bridge across his nose and the mold of his head. The right side of his face and head was smashed. The impact was so hard that he was knocked across the Interstate going westbound of HWY 90 in Raceland, LA. Pastor Vincent was pronounced died upon impact for 1 hour and 45 minutes when he heard a soft voice say go back. He awoke with paramedics stimulating his heart. Pastor Vincent was able to tell the paramedics everything that happened during his death experience. Pastor Vincent was rushed to Charity Hospital in New Orleans, LA to find out that he would never, walk nor remember his loved ones again.

In 2001, Katina was told by doctors that she needed a kidney transplant. She was diagnosed with IgA nephropathy (Berger’s Disease), a rear genetic disorder. Katina was devastated by the news that her kidneys were failing. For a few years, Katina experience denial because there were no visible or physical signs of any kidney problems. After the diagnosis, the doctors referred Katina to three major transplant hospitals. To know this possibility, gave Katina hope that God still had a plan for her life.  Doctors tried to delay the progress of the disease for two years, but without renal replacement therapy (dialysis), Katina would die. The news of dialysis was like a nightmare.
