A special Thank You

This day would not have been possible without the persistent and courageous leadership of our Pastor, Elder Ronald Jones.  Pastor Jones was determined to obey the voice of God and build a House of the Lord.   Though he was faced with many obstacles, unbelief and criticism this only strengthened his faith in the Lord and determination to complete the assignment.

 

The Agape Family can not say enough about our Leader and the things he has done to unfold the vision God gave him.  The best materials were used because he wanted to have a building that would bring glory and honor to God.  Pastor Jones made many sacrifices of his time, family and finances.  These sacrifices encouraged the saints to believe God for the impossible when many were tempted to doubt.  Although, he spent so much of his time working on this great House of God, he still prepared himself spiritually to feed the flock of God with a Rhema Word each time he spoke.

 

The Agape Family thank God for our Pastor.  Only through an anointed and praying man of God such as Pastor Jones could such an awesome vision unfold.    The Saints would like Pastor to know we appreciate all the many things he has done.
