I love First Baptist Church of Glenarden, Maryland where Pastor John Jenkins is the senior pastor. This weekend they entered their new 4,000 seat Worship Center. I was able to be there on Saturday for the ribbon cutting ceremony. It was good to see many of my friends from Vision 360 along with some missionaries I’ve heard about for years. And, in addition, getting to see my old buddy Dwight McKissic who also flew up from Texas. John is one of the most “real” men I’ve ever known. He’s warm, intelligent, discerning, wise and “has it together.” We’ve been on cruises together, delicate state department meetings together, board meetings together, and even shared pulpits. Nikki and I love being with him and Trina. I get frustrated because our building isn’t going up fast enough. I found out John’s building took a lot longer. Of course, it’s a lot larger. I sat in his dedication service and was so moved by all they are doing, the people present, all of it was just incredible! If I lived at least 45 minutes from that church, that’s where I’d go to church. I can’t go in that place that I don’t sense the presence of God. Heavenly Father, keep ‘em passionate, keep ‘em lovin’ you, keep ‘em lookin up, keep ‘em movin’ out!
