 I thank you for his personal friendship to me and for his wife, his children, the blessing they've been to me and my family, the blessing they were at our church in Sacramento, and the work they've done here, Lord, he's shown himself faithful, he's a man of character and integrity. Lord, I pray that you would give him your power. Lord, I know he is filled with the Holy Spirit, but I pray that you would anoint him with fresh oil for this work that you call him to do, to be the pastor from his height, to be the pastor's wife of the whole fast Baptist Church. Lord, through this action of laying out of hands, we ordain him tonight. This is our vote of confidence. This is our giving of authority that he would leave this church. We love you more than pray. You use them mightily, you bless them, you give them wisdom. I ask for his family that you bless them, you protect them in ministry. I ask for this church family that they would come around their pastor and love him and support him and love his family, support his family and that you would do great things here. And what I pray that this church would be true to their day, that they would hold fast to the things that have been given unto them. In the matchless name of Christ, we pray, Amen.
