Vision Baptist is the most unique church I've ever been to. We've attended churches from Michigan to Florida and westward to Louisiana and Tennessee but have never been so involved with a church as here. My view has been expanded from strictly the local community to a world wide focus. It's been a real blessing to meet and work with missionaries from all over the world. I've learned how really blessed we are here and how that blessing needs to be distributed to those less fortunate. Pastor Gardner is also unique in that his teaching is practical, penetrating and positive. I'm learning who I am in Christ and how important that really is.

Lastly, the friendliness of Vision is real and not just shake your hand at the door. When laid up in the hospital with heart problems I actually got a phone call from a member who happened to be in Peru at the time! What a church! We've found new friends and consider our church family closer than our biological family. Our church friends and pastor have given me some great personal support and helped us to make the right decision at a critical point in our lives.

Greetings in the Powerful Name of Jesus,

I am excited at what God is doing with all men that trust in him and his word, Pastor Gardner preached a powerful word these last 2 months that I have attended service concerning reading your Bibles for yourself and acting out on what God asks of us. Then the God has Brother Pearson to give us the cake and coffee after Pastor Gardner meal of abundance to encourage us to take the word for what it says. Brother Pearson always gives the members a testimony in how the lord blesses him to be a blessing to the ministry in a whole.

The Thanksgiving Celebration message was the best, what was the best, the food to our bellies or the food to our souls. I hope that we all understood that God desires to bless us to be a blessing to a ministry that is operating in spreading his Gospel. I took the challenge about 2 weeks ago and I asked God what did he desire from me, he told me to give a sacrifice offering to the missions operations of Vision Baptist.

I just relocated from West Palm Beach, not knowing where I would lay my head or support my family. One thing I did know was God sent me to Alpharetta and to Vision Baptist. Pastor Gardner and Brother Pearson kept preaching and teaching about how men had faith and God moved, tore down walls, were healed, and had victory because of the relationship they had with God.

Since I have been with Vision Baptist I have been blessed in ways that you could not believe. God delivered me from the clutches of death, my blood sugar was off the charts and when they stabilized @1450. That's when God called men and women @ Vision Baptist to rebuke satin and the spirit of death. Doctors can't explain it, but the Saints can proclaim it!!!! Back to my reason for this letter, it is to encourage you to render unto the works of the Lord and try the word of god and see that it is true. If you are living right you have the benefit of asking God to prove his word.

I asked God to bless me to be a blessing to the ministry by blessing my company. I was very specific with God so God got very specific with me. He told me, if you trust me I want you to give to my business " The Mission of Vision Baptist". I have invested in everything else, why not the ministry since the bible always show the greatest returns. I asked God how much and he said $500.00. I thought how do I explain this to my wife and God said if you believe in me, then believe I add no sorrow. I sowed the $500.00 seed into Vision Baptist Word Missions 2 weeks ago. I just got back in town last night from Palm Beach, Fl. and in my mailbox was a real check from a bank in Ga. that desires my business and I never filled out any application or set foot in this bank in my life. The check was for $7,000 with a revolving line of credit for $8,000.

Guess what men, I like that return so I am going to keep supporting the Ministry and Missions, I desire the over flow of God. I challenge every Christian Business Man and Christian Brother to try God according to his Word and watch as he move.
