I want to thank the Richmond Road Baptist Church for calling me as their Transitional Interim Pastor. We spent 9 wonderful months praying, planning, and working to become more like Jesus the Head of the Church.   I am glad to report that the congregation gave an excellent vote of confidence to their new pastor, Rev. Dewey Hughes.  May God richly bless that wonderful group of Christians as they continue building the Kingdom.

I have just finished doing pulpit supply for Friendship Baptist Church in Harveysburg, Ohio.  Working with their leadership the decision was made to call an interim pastor, Bill Perry to work with the congregation as interim as they continue to participate in their search for the next pastor.  Bill lives about 10 minutes from the church.  The people at Harveysburg were so friendly, loving, and welcoming.   Patty and I enjoyed our time together with them as we challenged them to demonstrate perseverance and to believe in God.

January 1, 2018 - The month of December, 2017 I have done pulpit supply at Hueston Southern Baptist in College Corner, OH.  I want to share that this congregation has been blessed with a group of young people who call themselves "The Joy River Band".  They all love the Lord passionately and are very talented blue grass style musicians.  I have been working with  the Association Missionary, Steve Renfrow, prayerfully trusting God to supply a Bi-Vocational pastor for this group of God's sweet people.  This is a true mission work for Jesus in this area, where the only other church recently closed and auctioned their building and property.  Be much in prayer for the Hueston Southern Baptist Church.  The Joy River Band will be playing in the service at Richmond Road Baptist Church on 1/14/18.

March 13, 2019 - Exciting growth is happening at Faith Baptist Church.  Saturday, 3/16/19 Faith will host a concert by SATISFIED, a truly anointed music ministry group.  On March 31, Faith will host Ryan Gilbert and Christine Potter who are ministers from the Great Commission Project Team from Clear Creek Baptist Bible College.

April 28, 2019 - My heart is thrilled as the congregation at Faith Baptist continues to increase.  This brings glory to God which is the ultimate purpose for the existence of any congregation.  I want to personally thank Steve Renfrow and Dennis Betts who have faithfully filled the pulpit at Faith as I recover from surgery.   This next Sunday, May 5 is going to be a tremendously exciting day with Jimmy Dooley ministering to the congregation in Word and Song.  I personally want to thank everyone at Faith Baptist that has been so supportive during my recovery.  They have truly exemplified the spirit of God's Love toward both my wife and I.   Thank you church, we love you!.

November 7, 2020 - I continue to express praise to God for the open doors to share the Gospel of Jesus in Southwestern Ohio.  I believe just as Jesus changed lives as he walked on the earth, He still changes lives today when they are exposed to the truth of God's Word.
