Dear Wolf Creek Baptist Church Family,
When Vivian and I think of this church, our hearts are filled with joy. For over 18 years you have shown us the love of God in your daily kindness to us. First Thessalonians chapter 2, verses 19 and 20, "what is our hope or joy or crown of rejoicing, are not even you in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming? For you are our glory and joy."
We feel toward you as Paul felt toward the church in these verses. You refresh us daily with your love, prayers, encouragement and kindness.
Now you have blessed us again by calling brother Chris Lee as my associate Pastor to help me in this ministry. With my health conditions and age, sometimes it just helps me to know there is somebody in the wings that I can call on in a moment's notice. I feel that brother Chris Lee will not only be a blessing to me but also a blessing to this church. I also feel that we can be a blessing to him, to help him as a young minister to grow in his calling from the Lord.
I ask that you pray for him and for us that we will pray and discover together how God wants to use all of us for his glory. Also, I know that you will join me in giving him a warm Wolf Creek Church welcome. You are precious and sweet people and I know that he will experience that from you as well.
I also want to thank the deacons for loving and caring for me and for getting me some help in the ministry here at Wolf Creek Baptist Church. You men are some of the godliest and kindest and wisest me I have ever had the privilege to serve with! May God continue to bless and strengthen you as you serve him by serving the Wolf Creek Baptist Church.
Let us remember that God's purpose for us is to glorify Him and share His love and saving message with others!
Thanks for praying for me and putting up with my shortcomings.
Your Grateful Pastor,
Brother Paul
