So Pastoring is the most incredible endeavor ever. To see lives change by the process of God working in a person is amazing. As an Evangelist, youd see them come to an altar but werent ever there to see the change process. Im thankful for SPC and to be in this role, in the lives of people. 1 year ago I had no worries. I am the most laid back person I know. Nothing rattles me and I move so slow in my decision process. Then God sent me to Saltillo and everything changed. Now, I still dont worry about my personal life but gah, I worry about everyone elses. I worry about their sons, daughters, sickness, addictions, diseases, their rent, house note, are they warm, are they hungry, do they have gas in their cars, did they sleep well, they need shoes, they need work, the church needs expansion, did we do all we could, can we do more, what can we do next, and so many more. All this and still having revival and tremendous out pouring of the spirit of God in our services. You learn quickly to trust God in all matters. Im honored to be at SPC and Im honored to have been taught by the best. Travis N Joan Sheppard, David Neal Beecham, and Bro Beecham to serve selflessly. Without Gods help it would be impossible to bear this burden. Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as a fool) I am more; in labours more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths oft. Of the Jews five times received I forty stripes save one. Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep; In journeyings often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils by mine own countrymen, in perils by the heathen, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren; In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness. Beside those things that are without, that which cometh upon me daily, the care of all the churches. (2 Corinthians 11:23-28 KJV) SPC, I LOVE YOU and everything that comes with it.
