Congratulations To Our Pastor-Elect!

 I am deeply honored and profoundly humbled by the call God has placed upon my life to serve as the Pastor-Elect of the Woods Memorial Baptist Church. This sacred appointment is not a promotion-it is a divine commissioning. It is a reaffirmation of the purpose, the calling, and the fire God has kindled in my soul: to preach the unadulterated Gospel, to shepherd with compassion, and to lead with integrity and vision.

I give all glory to God, who in His divine providence and infinite wisdom has orchestrated this moment-not for my name to be lifted, but that His name may be magnified in the earth through the work of this ministry. I come not with easy answers or empty promises, but with a surrendered heart, a listening ear, and a burning commitment to labor in love with you.

As God leads me, I will stand at the sacred desk to declare the Word with power and conviction. I will walk with you through valleys and mountaintops. I will be your shepherd in seasons of joy and sorrow, as a watchman on the wall, and as a servant in the vineyard.

I ask that you cover me in prayer, even as I continue to intercede for you. For no pastor can carry the weight of this mantle alone. With God's strength and your faithfulness, we will build, we will plant, we will restore, and we will rise.

Stand with me in unity. Pray without ceasing. Serve with gladness. Worship with reverence. And expect miracles, because God has already given us the victory!

May the Lord bless you and keep you. May He make His face to shine upon you and be gracious to you. May He lift up His countenance upon you and give you peace. Together, we are pressing forward into the purpose and promise of God. In the matchless name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
