Zion Missionary Baptist Church for the past 26 years. He is a US Army veteran and has worked as a city and school bus driver for years before retiring. His favorite scripture is Psalm 27, the first verse of which is “ The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?”
