From the Pastor's Desk
As your Pastor, I'm deeply proud of your accomplishments and wish you God's richest blessings as you embark on your next chapter. Remember to stay focused, stay grateful, and continue to grow in faith and purpose. Don’t let anyone think less of you because you are young. Be an example to all believers in what you say, in the way you live, in your love, your faith and your purity. (1 Timothy 4:12)
May the LORD smile on you and be gracious to you. May the LORD show you his favor and give you his peace (Numbers 6:24–26). Go forward into your future! Embrace all the challenges and opportunities with confidence, trusting in God's Word and in the presence of Jesus throughout your life.

"Your Presence is a Blessing"
Your loving support strengthens His Word by the positive example you give. Your tireless work inspires us all and teaches us how to live.
Pastor L.R. Barrett
In infinite wisdom, the Lord surely knew that we would need a Pastor as faithful as you. A love of God's Word and a heart for his flock.
Some of the reasons we appreciate our Pastor..
......truly has a shepherd's heart. Our pastor understands his role as shepherd under the Great Shepherd.
. . . faithfully teaches the Word to the congregation, no matter how many shows up. He is a faithful shepherd who takes time to care for the flock.
. . . is unwavering in his commitment to God’s Word, and to teaching its truths with passion, conviction, and a palpable love for those whom God has called him to shepherd.
. . . truly loves the Lord and loves our church. He is not flashy, but he is faithful. He works diligently in preaching God’s Word and is a great example to our people in personal holiness. We are thankful to call him my pastor.
. . . speaks with great conviction, does not equivocate in order to gain favor from the congregation, cares for his members.
. . . displayed an amazing humility in his leadership and his preaching and we know it’s because he loves and trusts the Lord.
. . . continues to lead the flock in a godly way that honors the Word and presents ‘first things first’—the gospel of Jesus Christ.
. . . spends so much time in prayer and study so that he can accurately teach God’s Word to the best of his ability. He preaches the Bible, not his opinion, and he is centered on the gospel.
We love you, love you, love you from the depths of our hearts here at The Greater Eleazer Baptist Church.
Our Pastor's Wife - Lady Rebecca Barrett
Your husband stands in the pulpit and preaches, leads Greater Eleazer in worship, cares for other people's needs, counsels' people, works with other leaders, and makes hard decisions. Everyone sees him, but often, and usually unintentionally, overlooks you. It isn’t easy to be you, and we all publicly acknowledge that right now.
You endure so much!!
A husband worn down mentally, physically, and spiritually from caring for others struggles to come home with enough gas in the tank to care for you. You are often privately under spiritual attack, the evil ones distracting your husband by what God has called him to do.
You are the smile, the warmth, the comfort, the faithful, prayerful, patient, more-helpful-than-you-could-even-know partner to the man God has called to labor for Him. You might not often be seen or even be with him, but he can’t do it without you beside him.
You are not “just” a pastor’s wife. You have been specifically called by God to this role. It isn’t easy, but this is why we love you; this is why we pray for you; this is why we can do what we do—because we do it alongside you.
Thank you for your prayers. Thank you for your endurance. Thank you for your wisdom. Thank you for your correction even when we don’t want to hear it. Thank you for your grace. Thank you for your honesty, loyalty, and patience.

Malachi 3:8-9
8 Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.
9 Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation.
Malachi 3:10
10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.
