Our 10 Year Anniversary, WOW! First of all it is difficult to believe that we've been ministering in Valdosta for 10 years! Our Anniversary Celebration last night was terrific! It was a wonderful spirit-filled service and was terrific to see some faces that we've not seen in years and even more terrific to see faces we've never seen before. We had a group of 8 from New Covenant Church of Atlanta join us--including Pastors Randy Morgan and Johnny Layton. Sam Sampson did a marvelous job performing and delivering spiritual nuggets and, as to be expected, Rev. Jay Neely delivered a wonderful sermon! The past 10 years have definitely been a blessing to me and to so many others! I can hardly wait for the next 10 years!! May God continue to bless each of you!
