"Pragmatic, Prophetic, and Proven Leader"
During my 11-year tenure as President of the Florida General Baptist Convention Inc. (2007- 2018), I was privileged to serve with many great colleagues who sacrificed to help make the vision of this august body possible. With their prayers and support, we were able to enhance our organization through the following methods:
- We consolidated all worship experiences to be held under one roof, providing safety, security and convenience for our constituents
- A $600,000 debt on our Indian Lake retreat site was liquidated in four years
- Over $1 million was donated to Florida Memorial University
- Nearly $6 million was donated toward foreign mission by way of cash, goods and services
- In 2011, we hosted the 131st Annual Session of the National Baptist Convention USA, Inc. in Orlando, Florida
- We supported three African American Seminaries
- The Young People's Department was established as an auxiliary and is now being recognized as a national model
- We established the pastors and ministers retreat, which empowers leaders for 21st-century ministry
- An insurance and retirement plan for pastors and their families was presented and implemented
- Over 220 preachers were afforded the opportunity to deliver the God’s word in some area of our Great Convention
In addition, during my tenure as President, while serving and working alongside an array of pastors, I was led to write five books addressing the very needs, concerns and issues that the people of God endure on a daily basis:
To God be the glory for allowing me to serve for over a decade while holding the office of Florida General Baptist Convention President with character, courage, competence and credibility!
