St. Paul says it so well: “God is faithful, by whom ye were called into the fellowship of His son, Jesus Christ our Lord.” (1Cor. 1:9) He can be trusted to do what He has promised, namely, to “confirm you unto the end.” (v.8)
When the Lord called this Pastor to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ, He promised His perpetual presence. All of you know folks, “…in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.” (Psalm 16:11.b)
As Pastor of Friendship, the Lord has graciously directed my steps. From the beginning, the Lord has made it crystal clear that the members of Friendship are His people and are to be treated as such. Love that is manifested by respect and dignity is the Friendship way.
The Apostle Paul has a message for every Pastor and it has been a blessing in my life. 1 Thess. 5:24 & 23: “Faithful is He that calleth you, who also will do it.” Who will do it! What God will do: “Now may the God of Peace make you holy in every way, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless until that day when our Lord Jesus Christ comes again.” (NLT) Praise God for His faithfulness during these years. To God be the glory!
Dear members, thank you for your loving care, your compassion, and your constant followship!
Pastor J. Amos Jones
