Thank
you
for visiting our website.
I hope you will listen to our message and if God so
leads
you
will
even visit our church.
Serving
the
Lord
is the most important
thing in my life, but in my early years serving
alcohol
and
the
pleasure of sin ruled me. It was not until I was 21 years old
that God began
to
knock
at my heart's door. After
seeing sin take the life of several of my friends, God
opened
my
eyes
to the reality of death. I began to visit True Gospel
Baptist Church and one
Sunday
morning,
May 21, 1972, after
Bro Fletcher Manuel preached, the Lord saved my soul.
I
began
to
grow under Bro. Fletcher's preaching. I was later ordained as a deacon
and was a
Sunday
School
teacher. As I continued
to serve God, He began to deal with me about
preaching.
In
October
1978 I accepted the call to preach. Just seven months
later in May
1979
God
opened the door for me to become
pastor of Meadows Baptist Church in Walnut
Cove.
I
saw
our congregation grow and saw God bless in so many wonderful ways. We
had 18 years of ministry at Meadows, then I was approached by my former pastor,
Bro. Fletcher, to begin praying about returning to True Gospel. Bro. Fletcher
was led of the Lord to retire after pastoring for 30 years. After much praying
the Lord began to open and close doors and indeed God did show me that I needed
to be back at True Gospel Baptist Church.
We left
Meadows and became pastor at True Gospel in May, 1997. We are continuing
to do Gods will as we are seeing the Lord do wonderful things at True Gospel.
We have a wonderful church with a friendly God-loving congregation.
My desire is to continue to preach about the precious blood
of our Lord Jesus Christ and to see souls saved.
Come and visit! Not only
will you be made to feel welcome but you'll hear the wonderful words of God's
word preached. |
