Living Well Ministries
Our Vision
In 1983, God gave me a vision of being an Encourager to Pastors and Churches. I assumed that the calling was for immediate action but it wasn’t until 2005 that God released me from the ministry of Pastor to fulfill the vision he had given me 22 years earlier.

I now know that He had me in training for that special calling.

After 50 years of ministry, almost entirely as a pastor, the time had come for me to share with others what God had taught me.

As a pastor, I am fully aware that the position of pastor is what I call the loneliest position of ministry. Pastors carry the load of all his congregants, family and friends because that is the nature of the calling. He also is very protective of those in his care and is seldom comfortable with anyone enough to share his own personal hurts, burdens and cares. He doesn’t want to ‘dump’ them on his spouse because he is also carrying her burdens and cares. He may confide in her about many things but some things are kept between just him and his God.

Churches can’t have a revival or a move of God if they aren’t encouraged themselves.

Pastors find it difficult to encourage others when they are in need of encouragement themselves.

The Vision of Living Well Ministries, Wanda and I, is to encourage all the pastors and believers we possibly can to find God’s wonderful and magnificent plan for their lives and live it to the fullest.

Religious traditions and erroneous teachings have put most Christians in a regressive mode rather than a progressive mode.

In the last few years of my last pastorate, God gave me several messages on the thought, ‘God Has A Better Idea’. I have put those messages in a book by that title and that is the basis of our ministry.

Where we will minister
I am an Ordained Bishop with the Church of God, Cleveland, Tennessee and a member of The Full Gospel Fellowship of Churches and Ministers, Int.

Our desire and will is to preach this message anywhere God leads. Since January 1, 2006, when we resigned our last pastorate, we have ministered in churches of several denominations and fellowships.

We believe that our message is to all believers.
