Congratulations!!

Greetings in the Name of our
Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!

My wife and I wanted to be one of the first to say
congratulations Pastor, Dr. Eddie B. Washington on 6
years of faithful ministry to Mt. Pleasant Missionary
Baptist Church, Leesburg, GA… (Our Home Church).

I love the words of Paul as he shared to young Timothy in 1

Timothy 1:12 ( )
“And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord who has
enabled me, because He counted me faithful,
putting me into the ministry”.

I believe it is vitally important that we as Pastors are
always mindful of has called us into the ministry, as
well as remembering the reasons he has called us!

I am sure there have been many challenges and changes

over the past 6 years, and you have probably learned a “few” things you were never taught in
Christian Education class. Yet, you have persevered, and continue to persevere because you know that
you are on the greatest mission anyone can be on…doing the Will of God!

Here’s a comical little story I thought you might enjoy, and thank the Lord
you’re not the preacher below!

“A preacher quit the ministry after 20 years and became a funeral director. When asked why he changed, he said: “ I
spent 3 years trying to straighten out John and John’s still an alcoholic, then I spent 6 months trying to straighten out
Susan’s marriage and she filed for divorce, then I spent 2 1/2 years trying to straighten out Bob’s drug problem and he’s
still an addict. Now at the funeral home when
I straighten them out—they stay straight!”

Please know that as you continue to forge ahead in ministry that we will continue to keep you in our
thoughts and prayers for the Lord to minister to , and in turn, we know He will minister to us!
Again Congratulations! And we’re sending you Kingdom Blessings,
