HEARTBEAT A Note from the Pastor We have the privilege of hearing from one of the most consistently encouraging preachers in America. I have often listened to his sermons on CDs. He preaches about the sufficiency of Jesus and His position as the One through whom God has made His blessing of salvation and abundant living, even in the most painful times of our lives. He is referred to fondly as “Wild” Bill Stafford (bio on back page). He has been used greatly by God to reach hundreds of thousands of people in his international ministry and here in our own country. I will be praying for you as I continue to rest and regain my health. Again, thank you for your love, prayers, cards, calls, and patience.
Love in Jesus, Bro. Jimmy
