OMG:Pastor Dies From Fasting For 105 Days!?!?!?!

Evelyn Boyd, 55, was dead for at least one to three days before her body was discovered reports the Lakeland Ledger.

Boyd shut herself into her bedroom in order to fast.

Fasting was something she had done before: She fasted twice last year for 21 days, once for 23 days and once for 40 days, a total of 105 days. In her last fast, she drank water only and had no food.

Her husband is the Rev. John Boyd, pastor of Higher Praise Full Gospel Ministries in Bartow.

He wanted to check on his wife's well-being while she fasted, but he respected her wish to be alone with God.

Evelyn Boyd was obeying what God told her to do, he said. "God called her home."

The room where she fasted had no connecting bathroom. Boyd said that when his wife fasted, she brought plastic bags into the room for human waste.

Boyd said his wife had gotten "a little chubby" before her last fast, about 170 pounds. When she died her weight was 140 pounds. She was 5 feet 5.

"I loved her very deeply," John Boyd said. "She was a loving and devoted wife."
