Children’s children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers. Proverbs 17:6.
Today is Father’s Day! We the membership of Miracle pause to acknowledge and give accolades to all of our fathers, both past and present. Godly men whom God uses to lead their families in the way of righteousness. Fathers are a blessing from the Lord to his child/children. Fathers are protectors, providers and promoters of their family.
Church, let us thank God for giving unto us fathers who love God and love their family. For their legacy lives on throughout our lives.

O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him. Psalm 34:8.

Church, let us continue to pray for and support our men as they serve this ministry. Thank you goes out Dr. Roberta West, Health & Wellness Ministry President, for her spiritual leadership, along with the Health & Wellness Ministry for their support with this endeavor.
