Rumblings and Ramblings

About this time next week we should know who our next president will be for the BGCT.  I believe that this will be one of the biggest decisions we will make this year in Amarillo.  With that being said and for whatever it means to anyone else, I’m throwing my support behind David Lowrie, pastor of FBC Caynon.

I have heard David’s name quite a bit since I have moved back to the panhandle in Oct. 2003.  Every minister I have heard mention his name in this area of the state has the highest regard for him.  That in itself means a lot to me, because I trust many of these people.

I support David because I don’t believe that he has any hidden agenda.  I believe that he is in the trenches just like most of us doing his best to share Jesus Christ throughout the world.  He is the pastor of a strong church and a membership that seems to be on mission.

I support David because I believe that he will give our convention a perspective from the pew.  I believe that he will speak up for the churches to what we desire from the convention.  I believe that he will work for our interest thorugh the Executive Board and through Dallas.

Because David is a pastor, and I believe that he has a “pastor’s heart”, I believe that he can minister to the staff of BGCT who right now is hurting.  I believe that he can encourage our new “Executive Director” to work with the staff of the BGCT and to encourage them in what they do.  I realize that he will not be in Dallas a lot, but I believe that he will offer encouragement to them whether he is at Dallas or Canyon.

I know that I have not made this endorsement as eloquent as most, but it come from my heart and my head.  I hope enough of us will support David not only with our votes but with our prayers as well.
