LIFE LESSONS

Body
Life lessons I learned from my life as an East Texas pastor, as pastor of mission of Elder State Baptist Church in Kilgore, I learned that a $1 box of chocolates could change a person’s life. We were given $100 per month to the minster for the 95 trailers we had in the Elder Estate Trailer Park –– the church was in the middle, and we had trailers on all sides of the church –– what a mission field.
