In my Fathers house are many

Oh, truly a great soldier and warrior. I always await him to pray during or just before sunday service began or at anytime. I just loved to hear Deacon Paul Gadsden pray. His reflection was always peaceful and umble - an umble servant of god. Family loving and a great participant in what ever he was called to do. I grew up in Lovely Hill Baptist and Deacon Paul Gadsden was no stranger to th congregation or anywhere. Family, just keep your hands in God hand. Everything will be alright and he shall strengthen thy heart. Love, Sylvia Sinclair and family
