Greetings brothers and sisters in Christ:

I first give thanks to God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit for allowing me to shepherd and serve the sheep of Cane Creek Missionary Baptist Church for eight wonderful years. God continues to do so many great things for this ministry and I am so thankful that he has placed me as the Angel of this house. God doubly blessed this ministry with my helpmate that stands beside me and help to inspire and encourage the disciples of this ministry. I thank God for her and all that she contributes to this ministry. I encourage my disciples to continue to strive for excellence in kingdom building and genuine love at the River. As pastor of CCMBC, I will continue to teach and train God’s people in the will and love that Christ has shown us. I commend you for being Christians who are Faithful, Available and Teachable. Teaching and preaching are responsibilities God has entrusted me. I am committed to God and to you in sharing the vision God has shown me. I pray God continued anointing upon my life. That I will “…rule well and be counted worthy of double honor…” I Timothy 4:17.
