Blessings to the family of Melvin Couch. Introduced to Melvin while working with the late Stan Green in Wordz Media Group and as Editor of the Gospel Herald, It was an honor to introduce my son to him last year at Morris Brown College and he spoke of his book.
Thank you for sharing the life that was Melvin Couch and may the memories of his lovingkindness be your comfort all to the Glory of God.
