<p>Hello World,</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Whether it&#8217;s the black church or the white church, probably whatever church, we love our potluck dinners! Food and the <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/">Bible</a> seem to go together&#8230;something about <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm+34%3A8&amp;version=NIV">tasting and seeing that the Lord is good </a>:)!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">But one pastor was willing to push back from the potluck and lose weight so that his wife could live&#8230;When Pastor Hosea Collins  of the City of Refuge Church in Gardena, California found out that his wife needed a kidney, he immediately volunteered one of his own. Because of his weight, he was deemed an ineligible candidate to help save his wife’s life. Collins went from 352 pounds to 222 pounds for a total loss of 130 pounds, solely by watching what he ate, adhering to <a href="https://www.dherbs.com/" target="_blank"><span class="nanospell-typo">Dherbs</span></a><a href="https://www.dherbs.com/" target="_blank">.com</a> cleanse regimens and continually exercising. At his new weight of 222 pounds, Collins was recently admitted into a kidney swap program. Whether or not he is a match for his wife, he will still donate a kidney and the program will find her a replacement. He has fully turned his life around and plans to continue his weight loss quest to reclaim his high school weight of 200 pounds. The pastor is now devoted to assisting others, helping them find self-fulfillment, or helping them to unlock a God-given purpose. His belief is that every person can use this purpose to make a difference, and that’s exactly what he did.</p>
