GLEN PUTMAN
1980 - 1982

     It was my honor to be the pastor of New Zion from 1980 to
1982.  In my tenure the education building was renovated and then
the church training program really came alive.  The Lord blessed
in many ways, but I especially remember that in one three-month
span we had 24 baptisms.

     The funniest thing I remember happening to this Mississippi
preacher boy was at my first Brotherhood meeting.  I invited the
men down to the house for coffee (Mississippi style).  One of the
men looked at my coffee and said, "I could stand in a fifty-five
gallon barrel of this coffee and see a freckle on my toe."

    May God bless you as you march on for Jesus.

    Still learning and growing!

Yours because I'm His,
Brother Glen
