Pastor's Annoucement Today

Indeed it is a sad day for many today. Pastor annouced his resignation from FBC effective 1 st Oct 2009 after leading this Church for over 20 years. He gave a very honest and humble speech in which he asked for forgiveness of things he done wrong either real or perceived. I can see that deep in his heart he wants the best for FBC, and he does not want it to be splitted due to difference in the Church. All Churches face their own problems some may be resolved quickly and some may not. I admire him that he stand on his own, and because he felt that he did not want the troubling issues to drag on any longer, he resigned. Although he said that he is rested in the spirit but I believe it hurts him to have to resign in this manner. Just imaging leading a Church for more than 20 years, and now you have to go.

I believe many members were not clear what went on for the past two months,and when the news came many were shocked. Many shedded tears for him and for the Church I suppose. Mostly stunned speechless because many members lingered around after the ending prayer by Brother Steven.

A number of our members when up front to hug Pastor John. It was very emotional and tears just flowed. I believe he is in the good hands of our Lord.

Whatever it is, let us pray for Pastor John as Brothers and Sisters in Christ. He may have his own ideas and opinion, but he is a good pastor. May our Lord guide him in his coming days. I pray all these in Jesus Most precious Name Amen.
