Pastor Drops Dead After Spirit Leads Him to Sing ‘In His Presence’

Pastor Jim Watson dropped dead after he sang “In His Presence” at church this Sunday. Watson, who pastored Crossroads Family Fellowship in Clermont, Florida, told his wife, Linda, the Holy Spirit had prompted him to sing the song. As soon as he finished, he dropped dead from a “widowmaker” heart attack, a family friend tells Charisma News.

“Pastor Jim was a true gentleman and oozed the love of Jesus on everyone he met,” Steven Halford says. Halford pastors a church in England where he and his wife modeled the pastoral team after “Jim and Linda, as I had never met a man more gifted in the role of pastor/shepherd as I had Jim Watson.” CONTINUE
