Local Pentecostal church celebrates bishop's 15th pastoral anniversary and 60th birthday
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (WKBN) — It was a weekend of celebration for members of Mount Calvary Pentecostal Church in Youngstown.
The church hosted a 15/60 celebration for Bishop Shawn Tyson on Saturday with a community service to honor his 15th pastoral anniversary and his 60th birthday.
It also marks five years since the bishop was diagnosed with retroperitoneal fibrosis, being told he was in kidney failure and was scheduled to be put on dialysis.
'The saints prayed, and the next day, the nurse came in with these words, 'Wow, what a comeback,' and I said, 'What do you mean by that?' She said, 'Last night, [your] creatine level's 16.8. This morning, almost normal — 2.3,'' Tyson said. 'That was five years ago. I went from 100% kidney failure to 100% kidney function. Only God can do that.'
He also said he believes God can help anyone with anything they're going through.
