Prominent gospel music artist Marvin Sapp recently lost his wife, MaLinda Sapp, to colon cancer. The couple had been married for 15 years and they had three children. MaLinda was an administrative pastor at the church, Lighthouse Full Life Center, that they ran together in Grand Rapids, Mich.
Before she died, MaLinda was a college professor and licensed professional counselor. The following statement was issued by 92.1 Praise Houston about her death:
"It's with our deepest sympathy that we inform you that Pastor Marvin Sapp's wife MaLinda Sapp has passed on today after battling colon cancer. It was confirmed on the Lonnie Williams show today. An official press release has not been issued yet but more details will be coming on the Yolanda Adams Morning show tomorrow morning! Earlier this year, Marvin Sapp was testifying of how his wife, MaLinda, was given a clean bill of health by doctors after being diagnosed with Stage 4 Colon Cancer in 2009. But then, those health concerns resurfaced and Marvin Sapp requested intense, around-the-clock prayer."
Marvin Sapp's song, 'Never Would Have Made It' reached number 14 on the Billboard charts for R&B/hip-hop songs. He recorded with the group Commissioned in the 1990s before starting a solo career. The couple's three children are Marvin II, Mikaila and Madisson.
MaLinda Sapp was selected as principal of Grand Rapids Ellington Academy.

Sad story I my heart goes out to him. I was married for 4yrs and together 4 ten and I can tell u that its not about old school or new school it's about including God however u do it. We had God n the beginning and everything was great, but then we strayed n it fell apart. God is everythng and we can't do it on our own. As tragic as his situation my seem they both had God and that's a blessing. Thanks 4 sharing!
@ Champ...You are sooo right. When we understand that we don't have to work as hard toward things..(finances, relationships, etc) when we put HIM in HIS proper order...EVERYTHING else falls into place!! He is the only thing we should be worrying about!
Thank you for sharing!!!
