Happy 35th Pastoral Anniversary, Bishop Wooden. My name is Elder Jamar Hoskins and I've been a member of the Upper Room Church of God in Christ for the past 18 years. I came to the Upper Room as a freshman at the University of North Carolina through campus ministry and I was hooked from the first time. Bishop, I thank God for your commitment to preaching God's truth. I thank God for your tenacity. I thank God for your courageousness. Bishop, you have stood the test of time these past 35 years. We've seen so many amazing things done as a result of your ministry. We've seen the dead rays. We've seen people healed and delivered and set free. Bishop, personally, I've seen God do so many amazing things in my life based on the application of the preach word that you've preached over these past 35 years and 18 years in particular for me. I'm just grateful for all that you have done. I'm the man of God that I am today because of your ministry. I'm the man that I am today because of your ministry. I just thank God for your commitment to the truth, commitment to the kingdom and all that you have done up until now. Truly, you have been an example of Ebenezer. You have stood the test of time. So many pastors have walked away from the ministry and yet there are so many who remain in the church setting but yet walk away from God's truth. And you've been committed through this entire time. And Bishop, again, we're grateful for your leadership. We're grateful for who you are to the kingdom. And I'm grateful to be able to call you my pastor, my leader, and to be able to be called the spiritual son of Bishop Patrick L. Wooden senior. Bishop, I love you. I appreciate you and I respect you to the highest. I thank God for your commitment and again, happy anniversary. God bless you. My name is Delo New Kirk and I've been a member of the Upper Room for the last 28 years. And what a great time in the body of Christ, Bishop Wooden, to celebrate your 35th anniversary. What a great, anointed, and appointed, and chosen general and giant in the gospel you are. God is so favored you and I'm so honored to be a part of the ministry. And thank you, Bishop, for communicating with God before speaking to the masses, for equipping the saints, for defending the faith. It's just so much that you do, so much that you do, deserving the times because the days are evil. Having such a biblical integrity, interpreting scripture with scripture, spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ, speaking truth into the culture is just so much, so much, holding up the bloodstained banner. Holy boldness for every mountain, for every valley that the Lord has brought us through and brought us over. He's going to continue to do that. And we say to God be the glory. Happy anniversary. God bless you. Ebonizer, thus far the Lord has helped us. Prepare your hearts and minds for the 35th pastoral anniversary of Bishop Patrick L. Wooden Sr. to be held Sunday, September 18th.
