Pastor Crawford was indeed a brother beloved. Sometimes it is a struggle to embrace fellow pastors who are transplants because you don't know how long they'll be around. Pastor Crawford endeared himself to the Oklahoma City clergy community immediately and never changed character after he established familiarity and comfortability in the city. This is a hard pill to swallow but we know that our God is sovereign and He will provide comfort to the Crawford family, the Avery Church, the A.M.E Conference, and all others whom he touched.

Pastor Crawford was a man of God. He could preach, teach, and sing with the anointing of the Holy Spirit. He comforted my family during the passing of my mother, even afterwards. He checked on the members of Avery when life situations arose ( good or bad). Pastor Crawford involved himself and Avery church in the community. Adopting neighborhood schools and supporting other churches. He was definitely about the Father’s business. He will surely be missed!
