Jim Heard with his new Toyota Camry
We just completed our first month of ministry here in Lexington. It's been 31 days of meeting people, learning the community, and planning for the future. One of the great men I've had the opportunity to spend time with is Broadway Baptist Church's minister of outreach and visitation - James Heard - also known as "Brother Heard."
Brother Heard has been in the ministry for 60+ years and is one of the greatest assets to Broadway Baptist. A former pastor of several Lexington churches and the former interim pastor of Broadway Baptist.
Brother Heard took me on my first home visit, first hospital visit and knows nearly every member and attender at BBC. One of the great blessings of discipleship is not only do you get to disciple others, but someone will disciple you. Brother Heard has discipled me this first month.
On January 1 - 30 days ago - during my installation service, the director of missions prayed that our time at BBC will be our most fruitful years of ministry. What an accurate prayer - with a mentor in Brother Heard, it can certainly happen!
