Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I want to take this moment to thank God for His many blessings, for the privilege to call upon His holy name, and to offer praise for what He has done and continues to do in my life. As I reflect on my journey, I thank God for sustaining me and guiding me according to His plan and purpose. Looking back, I am especially grateful for Bishop W.F. Lucas from the True Church of God in Christ, who was an incredible teacher for me as a young man at the age of 23. Under his guidance, I learned how to live according to the gospel of Jesus Christ. During that time, Minister Irvin Bryant served as our pastor, and his unwavering commitment to the Lord, no matter how tough the circumstances, was a powerful example. I also give thanks to God for Elder Cook, whom I accompanied as his reader when I served as a deacon. I traveled with him, as well as with Minister Smith and Elder Lucas, all of whom helped shape my growth in the faith. I began as a brother assisting the brotherhood, progressed to serving as a deacon, and eventually became a minister at God’s True Worshippers. Throughout, my goal has always been to remain faithful and to serve the Lord diligently.

 

Today, as Elder Render, I continue to follow the teachings of the Bible. I believe that God has blessed me with the opportunity to lead in this ministry, and I am committed to fulfilling the role He has entrusted to me. I pray that the Lord continues to use me so that many souls may see their need for Jesus. My hope is that through our ministry, people will not see us but will see the work of God. I pray that this ministry continues to be a blessing to others, opening their eyes and hearts to the word that God has placed in us to deliver. While there have been many changes along the way, one thing remains constant—the Word of God, which never changes. My desire is to remain steadfast in the faith and trust in God’s decisions, knowing that His works are wonderful. I believe that God’s True Worshippers church holds the truth, and this journey has been an incredible blessing for me. I believe it can also be a blessing to anyone who follows the teachings of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, for Jesus Himself said, "You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."I am confident that in the end, it will all be worth it if we follow God’s plan as laid out in scripture. There is no failure in God, and everything will come to pass in His perfect timing. God’s True Worshippers church is dedicated to reaching lost souls for Christ, and I want to be part of this great mission—to help others understand the salvation of the Lord. God's plan is perfect, and though it came at a great price, I am committed to being part of this divine plan because God has an amazing purpose for us all.
