First South Florida Missionary Baptist District Association
Rev. Dr. Rayford Harper, Moderator
To my Dear Friend, Brother, Co-Laborer in the Gospel, beloved and honored Reverend Harold Bennett. Greetings in the perfect, precious and powerful name of our risen Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. It is with great joy and rejoicing that I share this letter with you and the wonderful Saints of New Mount Zion Missionary Baptist Church in Haines City, Florida. Let me take this opportunity to say congratulations to you for 10 years of dedicated and faithful service as the Under- shepherd of God’s people. During the ministry of Apostle Paul he was given a thorn in his flesh for which he sought the Lord three times. It caused him much pain and suffering, but God did not remove it. Instead, God told him that “my grace is sufficient for thee. ” Serving the Lord will require some sacrifices along the way, but we are encouraged to be “ stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.” I pray that as you celebrate and commemorate this historic moment and great milestone in your Ministry, you will find favor and great success in the Lord. Please know that you have always been a blessing to the work and witness of First South Florida Missionary Baptist District Association. Therefore, we are proud of you and celebrate with you in your 10 th Anniversary as the beloved Pastor of New Mount Zion Missionary Baptist Church of Haines City.
May God forever bless you and keep you,
Rayford Harper
