He pastored Glady Missionary Baptist Church, during which time he lead them to relocate and build a new sanctuary. He conducted many revivals, spanning six states and had great power with God and man and as his sons, we believe the same could be said about our dad that was said about Enoch, Hebrews 11:5, that he pleased God and of Abraham, James 2:23, that he was a friend of God.
