“After being out of pastoral ministry for many years, and believing the enemy’s lie that I could never pastor again, I feel almost “born again” again,” Pastor Kendall said, “ I pinch myself every Sunday driving to worship. God is truly the God of second chances! I feel blessed. God alone daily is my restorer and I seek His approval only. Never before has life been this alive, colorful and full of promise.”
