Rev. Vickers was a Godly man with the sweetest spirit & demeanor. I met him & his lovely wife Mavis when we were part of Lifepoint’s Young at Heart monthly luncheons for our senior citizens. He was such a sweet man . I loved sitting with him & his wife Mavis from time to time as we shared lunches.

I know the Lord has given Rev. Vickers a seat of honor for the many years of service to our Lord Jesus. He surely will be busy in heaven.

My prayers go out to Mavis with whom we had occasional time to visit briefly in church. May the Lord comfort the family during their time of mourning.
His mercy & grace will give them strength & peace because their loved one has been called home to the Kingdom of God. Amen.

Pastor Vickers was a true man of God. His humility was his strength. I was blessed to have him as my pastor at North Central Assembly of God throughout my teenage years.
