TBH, opens with Praise and Worship for Pastor Timothy Wright's Fundraiser on Saturday, Sept 6, 2008 in Plainfield, New Jersey.
With winds blowing and rain pouring, The Brothers Harris commanded Hannah to wait. The twin duo took over praise and worship to get the crowd ready to receive Pastor Timothy Wright.
Artists from the New Jersey, New York area came out to support this worthy cause. Backed by a mass choir of approximately 100 voices of combined choirs in the NJ and NY area, that included Shiloh Baptist, Sharon Baptist, Calvary Baptist, New Fountain and others, TBH set the tone for the night.
TBH, was joined on stage by their own, Children of God choir members that lead to high praise.
Other artist such as Alvin Darling and the Celebration Choir brought down the house with songs "Nobody but the Lord" and "I called on the Lord".
At the 3:30 PM hour, Pastor Timothy Wright was medivac in with family in tow and brought to the front of the stage where the the whole Shiloh Baptist Church was in cheers and tears.
Rev. Timothy D. Wright, the church's founding Pastor (Grace Tabernacle Christian Center, Brooklyn, NY) and an award-winning Gospel singer, who lay in a hospital bed more than 150 miles away after being critically injured in a car crash on Friday, July 6, 2008. His wife and co-pastor Betty, 58, was killed in the accident, the authorities said.
Pastor Wright, known to fans as the "Godfather of Gospel", has recorded more than 10 albums of gospel music and has been nominated for several Grammy Awards. He started his own choir in 1976, and grew popular over the decades with hits like "Trouble Don't Last Always", "Who's on the Lord's Side?" and most recently, "Jesus, Jesus, Jesus" , which spoke of the victims of Hurricane Katrina.
The couples 15 year old grandson, D. J. Wright, who was also in the car during the accident died on Saturday night.
Pastor Wright and his family were returning from a church conference in Detroit when their car was hit head on by a car being driven in the wrong lane, police said. The driver of the other car, identified by the police as John Pick, 44 of Lewisburg, PA., was also killed.
Pastor Wright was moved to Kessler from Geisinger Medical Center in Danville, Pa., where he had surgery.
The "Godfather of Gospel," according to his family's attorney and friend Laurie Schneider (whom was also in attendance at Shiloh on Sept. 6, 2008), suffers from numerous fractures, including injuries to his spinal cord. He currently breathes with the help of a respirator.
"Although on good days he is able to speak and breathe on his own for short periods of time, he is also able to move his neck and shrug his shoulders," a news release says. "He does have feeling in his hands as well, according to his son Derrick Wright.
It was so overwhelming to see Pastor Wright. I didn't know what to expect. I wasn't sure how he would look and could I handle it, said a worshiper. He looked "fantastic" fabulous! I was so excited and just knew in my spirit that God has "healed" this man of God. He has aways to go but seeing him, I am convinced that he will walk, talk and sing again. It was beautiful.
Dr. Marrietta Brown from The House of Restoration Ministries, Petersburg, VA., instructed the crowd of worshipers that no pictures and touching should be done as Pastor Wright came down the aisle. Dr. Brown's words of encouragement to the Wright family also set the stage for the giving. She said, " God honors what we do in secret". She also said, "This man of God has worked tirelessly in the vineyard and is worthy of this." Dr. Brown and the House of Restoration Ministries, gave a selfless donation of $1,000.00 along with Mckoy Joubertllc and Shiloh Baptist Church and others. Other donations in the amount of $ 500.00 came from Alvin Darlings Celebration choir and Pastor Timothy Wright's own Concert Choir. A corporation from VA, represented by Alex Snipes, that Pastor Wright had sung for some year earlier donated $ 25,000.00 stated, that he needed some artist for a gospel festival that they were having and Pastor Timothy Wright responded to the call and with very little money, the company tried to compensate Pastor Wright, he replied " We are good and just wanted to be a blessing." The companies representative (Snipes) said, "he never forgot that." That is just the integrity and character of Pastor Wright.
The highlight of the evening came when Pastor Timothy Wrights own Concert Choir came up to sing under the direction of David Wright. You could just feel the love in the room. The spirit and anointing was so high. The Concert Choir shook the roof off of Shiloh Baptist Church. Singing, "Come Thou All Mighty King", "Jesus Will" " Who's On The Lords Side?" and the show stopper of the night; "Jesus, Jesus, Jesus". All the elders, pastors and dignitaries in the house came forward to lay hands on Pastor Wright. Complete and total healing and restoration was the petition of the night.
As the evening drew to a close. Pastor Wright's youngest son Derrick, came forward to give remarks on behalf of the Wright family. He told how the family is learning to cope with the elevation of their mother and nephew and how God is still in control and how they emphatically believe that their father will walk, talk and sing and preach again. He also spoke about how God has already show up restoring movement in Pastor Wrights arms. He thanked all those that have come far and near and all those that have made a contribution in anyway since their ordeal began. He asked that the, body of believers will continue to pray for their family. Upon leaving Pastor Wright gave some nods and smiles and I believe in my soul he was well pleased.
The final tally for the night was approximately $ 37,900.00 raised with plans to hold a fund raiser in Chicago.
The family is seeking the publics help in raising enough money to care for Pastor Wright at Kessler, the release said. Pastor Wright's care cost about $ 4033. 00 per day x 30 days = $ 120,990.00 a month.
