Other activities and ministries have included writing some articles published in Contact magazine, writing a few articles for a local newspaper in Donnalsonville, Ga., and a few articles for Georgia State Historical Society.
I also have written a few tracts and plays. Many of my sermons are written and can be obtained in booklet form.
I have spoken on the radio. I have preached in revivals, youth camps, nursing homes, and retirement homes, and a high school in earlier years. I have conducted a few seminars. I have been the Moderator of Twin Cities Association. Currently I teach a class for the Addiction Recovery Program for Valley Rescue Mission in Hamilton, Ga. since about September of 2021.
In the local church I have directed choir, formed men’s trios and quartets, etc., I sing solo, or with others singing a part. I have taught adult Sunday School, I have taught alternate classes in church on Wednesday nights using biblical literature that supports the Bible and enhances our knowledge of the bible. I have taught many ETA (Evangelical Training Association) courses. I have preached in other churches as well.
As a pastor I have been an administrator, I have organized small groups and guided them in various ministries. I have helped churches maintain their church history. I directed many camp sessions and organized youth meetings. I also might be considered an amateur ventriloquist using a puppet in Sunday school assemblies, camp and other occasions. I have organized and directed skits to entertain, etc.
I have been active in all levels of our denomination, attending most of the local, state, and national meetings. I support all the departments of our denomination with prayer, verbal praise, financially giving to missions and other causes that arise.
My wife and I believe in and practice biblical tithing; that is 10 % of our income.
My wife and I own our home. God supplies us with consistent monthly income adequate to live on. We have no debts.
My hobbies and special interest is piano playing; playing hymns, songs and folk music. I like photography and keep albums of the work of the church when possible, I also like family genealogy, nature trails, camping outdoors, some gardening, and grandchildren!
