Comments Condolences to the Hurt family. I am a member of Elizabeth Terrace Baptist Church and will greatly miss Brother Hurt. " Vickie - November 21, 2011 at 04:54 PM Dear Mrs. Hurt & Family, " Our prayers are with you right now. I first heard Brother Hurt preach when I was a teenager growing up in the Rosman, NC area. A few years ago, he preached a revival in a church where I was pastoring in High Point, NC. I feel like God knit our hearts together as we talked about books and preaching when he was there for that meeting. It was always evident that he loved you and his children. I am deeply grateful for his ministry and his friendship. If we can do anything, don't hesitate to call. My phone number is 770-383-9565. May the Lord bless you and help you in the days ahead.
