My appreciation of Pastor McKenzie

Pastor's Appreciation Day is the day when as a church family we show our pastor (David McKenzie) how much we really care, love and ofcourse appreciate him. Our pastor is one of my mentors. In each of his sermons he speaks to you as an individual and leads you in the right path to god. He came to the church roughly about 2 years ago and I loved his vibrance. His first sermon kept everyone awake and had an impact on a lot of kids,youths, and young adults. I was always happy to know he was preaching. He taught me as a teen to avoid all the bad influence that high school might bring. He is someone I can turn to with my problems and trouble. He is not just a pastor he is a friendly and out going person. he shows everyone his dashing smile and thoughtful ways. He is not only the Pastor of Lighthouse, but also my pastor. At one of his recent baptism I gave my life to God. each day I feel much closer to God. I thank and appreciate pastor McKenzie for giving me and a lot of other young people a better understanding of what our Christ Jesus has done and is doing in our lives.
