Bishop F.C. Barnes will be missed very much. I stayed up on Monday night, almost all night looking up his songs and funeral service. His songs blesses my heart. I took one of our Sunday service to pay tribute to him. We sang his songs and had a good time. I will always sing his songs, because deliverance is in his songs–Love to family, keep singing–Pastor Dicknes, Tarboro NC
R.I.P. Bishop you will be missed
