What a privilege it is to be the past of Olive Branch Missionary Baptist Church. I believe that God has brought us together for a purpose. I’m excited about our journey together and what God has in store for us. He’s given a vision of what lies ahead, and we are working towards it together. God’s blessings are so sweet and I’m thankful for them all. I’m most thankful for my relationship with Christ, this is a true blessing. For me, it started in 1984 when I gave my heart to the Lord and accepted him as my Saviour. From there, he just keeps on blessing and blessing, I was called to preach at 16 in 1991. Then I met my wife Velvet, and we were married in 1993. She has truly been my helpmate ordained of God and a partner in the ministry. God blessed us with two wonderful girls, Morgan and Ashlin. Morgan is married to Jarret Lawson and they will be expecting a baby boy in September of 2023. Both are active in the church and are our youth leaders. What a blessing. Ashlin is still living at home, working, and finished college and will be attending the police academy in November of 2023. She plays an active role in the church with her musical talents and is the developer of our website. We are surrounded by friends and family, so for us, we have truly been blessed.
