“He ended the race prayerfully. He spent about three hours in prayers before the last service on the mountain and was looking very healthy.
“He never showed any sign of illness or worry.
“Afterward, he came up to shower. Few Minutes later, he stepped out for ministrations. While ministering, he spoke about a time to come and time to leave.
“His statements were spiritual and suddenly, he left the stage and went to his inner chambers,” she is reported to have said.
Evelyn then waited a few minutes and thereafter decided to check on him.
