Ordination

Jason was ordained at our church the afternoon of Sunday, July 12th. I was absolutely beaming with pride the entire service. My husband is truly an incredible minister of the gospel, in the pulpit and out. He was also named associate pastor of our church. This does nothing to really change his responsibilities or ministry, simply a new title. He serves the Lord, our family, and the body of Christ with such fervor, passion & zeal. His love for God is contagious and continuous. He is a man I deeply desire and feel honored to call friend and lover.

Our pastor, Bro Mike, presented Jason with an apologetics study Bible (apologetics is a passion of Jason's) and a certificate of ordination signed by the ordination counsel. He was put through a pretty intense "grilling" session of questions and breezed through it with class. He was asked by more then just one for his number & willingness to transfer to a new church...But, we are so blessed in our calling and commitment to our current church & loving fellowship.

Jason's dad suprised him by singing, "People Need The Lord." Needless to say, there were more then a few in need of tissues.

Ivory enjoyed relaxing with Nana at the fellowship following.

We were honored to have Grandmother & Mamaw in attendance. Mamaw took Jason on his first mission trip (to Honduras), where he received his call into full time ministry.

J & his parents. I'm so grateful for their commitment to the Lord & their children. They raised an amazing son.

Ivory enjoying freedom from sitting!

Free at last!
