On a personal note

Hello All,
Our earthly lost is heavens gain. My wife's uncle, Rev. Glen Townsend, went home to be with the LORD this morning. Normally, I do not mention a death in the family, but this one is very special.
You see, Glen was led to the LORD, by father-law Dr. JB Jordan, Pastor of Victory Baptist in Cumming, GA for 20+ twenty years. Glen married JB's sister, Dot, but JB had a burden to see Glen saved and to see them in church. Glen was a FORD man and mechanic, both men worked on cars together. He was known to race you from red light to red light in their day. And JB visited Glen every weekend for a year and finally Glen accepted the LORD, he and his wife Dot, got in church. Then Glen was called by the LORD to preach the gospel.
I remember JB mention this story many times, in the 1980s and 1990s at VBC, trying to encourage other Christians to soul win and have burden for lost souls, which is an old way, that we do not hear about much any more these days.
Well, JB passed first, 2007, but on many Jordan family Christmas party gatherings, Glen would always say to me, with a broken heart, JB came to house for a year and led him to the LORD. Glen was so thankful. He pastor Post Oak BC in Cobb county GA and a couple of other churches in the area.
So goodbye here is to say hello there in heaven. They are running around together now in glory.
So please pray for our family, and I hope this story is a blessing to you.
Rev. Dan
TO GOD BE THE GLORY, FOR THE GREAT THINGS HE HAS DONE !!
