TRANSFORMING YOUR WORLD

Greetings Saints,
Today is March 31. As of midnight I will no longer be the Senior Pastor of First Baptist Church, Main St. in Charlottesville, VA. After sixteen years God has now called Co-Pastor Gardenia and me to a new ministry field in Atlanta. It also marks the beginning of a transition season for First Baptist as they begin seeking the Lord for who their next leader shall be. I hope you will join me in praying for God's peace, power, protection, provision and prosperity over First Baptist. We pray that they will hear from God in choosing the next Pastor, and that they will show honor to God by the way they love and treat their Pastor even as the Pastor shows honor to God by the way he/she loves and leads the church. This past Sunday I preached my final sermon there as Pastor. It was a good service and it was so good to see everyone, especially those we had not seen in a very long time who returned for this service. Now I simply bid so-long.
Thank you for your continued prayers and support of Transformation Ministries International of Atlanta. I will keep you updated on the events and growth of this new ministry plant here in the Atlanta Metro area. I also ask your prayers for an upcoming missions trip to Liberia this summer. I will be going as a part of a team sponsored by The Joseph Alliance with founder Dr. LaVerne Hanes Stevens. I will share more specifics as we get closer to that June trip. Also, look for the launching of two new ministries this summer as a part of Dr. B. A. Beard Ministries. Lastly, I've begun work on my next CD project. I'm excited about this new music. I thank God for the inspiration for this new music. It will be awhile before it will be ready but it's coming along.
Some other exciting things are coming but I'll reserve that for future blogs. Be forever blessed and I share more next time. God Bless You All!
