Pastor Brenda aren't involved in ministry for the fame and glory (good thing!), but it's always nice when someone else recognizes our efforts.
Rev. Robbie Ousley was kind enough to just that on his Unidiversal web site, naming us the recipient of his monthly Unidiversal Certificate of Recognition.
Like so many have, Jim & Brenda Johnson could enjoy the presence and blessings of God without resistance in a majority of churches. But these two kind and considerate ministers follow God's call on their lives to put themselves out there on the front line of faith in Christ for ALL people. This is one husband and wife team called to encouraging others, lifting up one another, and who are making the cause of Christ to great effect at home, in church, outside church doors, encouraging other ministries, are available to secular media, and are online throughout the world. What a great example of giving of themselves and following "The Father's Heart" by the example of Christ where they don't have to, but do.
We were deeply touched by the kind words of love and encouragement by Robbie and others posted on the award page. We joined a rather eclectic group, ranging from our own pastor Apostle Dale Jarrett and our church Believers Covenant Fellowship to Rev Jay Bakker, Peggy Campolo, and Lulu Roman (from Hee Haw fame).
I am reminded of the saying, "Don't work for recognition, but do work that is worthy of recognition." We're glad that folks like Rev. Robbie, Apostle Dale, and others who's opinion really means a lot to us feel we are doing just that.
