I have been with Walmart as a cashier since September 30th, 2008! Since then, I have learned several lessons in great humility,some of which I have shared with you!

That said, yesterday, I tendered my resignation with effect from March 24th, 2009! Their reaction, was a humbling experience to me. I truly thank the good Lord for using me to be a witness for Him. They were unwilling to let me go. They went to an extend of requesting me to work even if it means once a week.

Much as I love cashier work, it has become hard working 30-40 hours a week and 40 plus hours as a pastor. Home visitation and hospital visitation that I love so much have suffered greatly!

Besides, I need to grow Maranatha, help raise funds so as to buy our God a house of worship, and even help plant more churches in Minnesota and other States.

The Lord has therefore impressed upon me to quit Walmart at this very challenging economic turn down times and concentrate on preaching the word.

As always, my thoughts and prayers are with all those that I love like you! That’s why I spent a good portion of my time to put down thoughts and send them your way.

It’s in view of this that I wish to solicit for your prayers once more on my ministry. Pray that I may be able to decrease so that the man of Galilee will increase; Yea, more than that, pray that I may continue to learn in great humility at the feet of the cross.

Also pray that I may be able to reach many through visitation, e-mails, and my books! Will you promise to pray for me?

Thanks a million.
