Orangeburg, South Carolina, minister gets closer to God in a year of suffering

Within the past year, a series of experiences brought the Rev. Jerome Anderson to his knees.

As a leader in the Christian community, Anderson is accustomed to counseling people during life’s darkest moments, helping them to not just find light at the end of the tunnel, but teaching them how to apply scripture to their situation.

A timeline of the past 18 months of the minister’s life is parallel to the Biblical account of the sufferings of Job in the Old Testament that depicts love, long-suffering and restoration.
