Happy Birthday Broom Tree!!!


In August of 2002, Broom Tree began which means it is now 8 years old!
But prior to that Dwayne and Rita were in this same kind of ministry for 5 years.  This makes 13 years of experience in my humble calculation.

What have we learned in the past 13 years?

1.  PASTORS ARE UNIQUE.  We have met pastor couples from 93 denominations, 33 states, 4 Canadian provinces and 9 countries.
They are all colors, backgrounds, nationalities, creeds, ilks, and isms but all Christians!  And they get along!!! What a testimony.

The flocks they shepherd vary as much as the pastors.  Some folks want to learn and grow spiritually, some want everything to stay the same and some want to hear only what their itching ears demand and most churches have all three kinds.

But the best thing a pastor can do is preach the Word and love the people.  Sounds simple?  No Way.

To be continued.
