The End Of An Era

     For the first time since 1978, I am not engaged in pastoral ministry. Just over a week ago, I submitted my resignation from Calvary Road Baptist Church, where I served since November 1985.

     It is very challenging to withdraw from a congregation you have loved for forty years, so the flock can follow the spiritual leadership of another man. My successor is Anthony Kim, a young man I have known for more than twenty years. I am excited for him and for the Church.

 

     I am thrilled that my wife of fifty years is 100% with me and our future together. Our goal and heart's desire is to retire from the pastorate but not from active ministry. We must contend with issues of age, but the future looks bright.

     As our plans unfold and our prayers are answered, we will keep you updated. We can still be reached via email and by phone, and we are relatively active on social media. Please connect with us on WhatsApp to ensure you can reach us. My WhatsApp address is my cell number.

     As Pam and I transition, and as Calvary Road Baptist Church transitions, please pray for them and us.

     Until next time ....

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
