Ida Lee Bolt Anderson was born in Greenville, South Carolina on April 4, 1940 to the late Willie and Ethel McDaniel Bolt.

Where Can You Find Real Hope?
The prophet Isaiah painted this touching picture of the resurrection: “Those of our people who have died will live again! All those sleeping in their graves will wake up and sing for joy.” - Isaiah 26:19, Today’s English Version
Is that not comforting? The dead are in the safest situation imaginable, like an infant protected within its mother’s womb. Indeed, those resting in the grave are perfectly preserved within the limitless memory of Almighty God and soon they will be brought back to life, entering a happy, welcoming world much the way a newborn is greeted by a loving, waiting family! So, there is hope even in the face of death.
