Elder Bernard C Yates

by Gloria Woods

I love my Pastor Dr. Bernard C Yates Pastor of The Zion Hope Primitive Baptist Church in Pensacola, Florida. He is a very humble but powerful Man of God. He loves each of his members and is very personable with all members whether young or old.

He loves God's word and shares it with others even in prisons, hospitals, nursing homes. He does missions orchestrating fixing a roof in Haiti. He is the President of The National Primitive Baptist Convention, Inc. He leads us on to a yearly month of prayer and consecration every January. He will always make you laugh and helps us all see that it's not as serious as we think, When you have gone through as much as I have in life it's good to have a Leader who makes you laugh about things that may not ordinarily be funny, I liken Pastor Yates as the Prodigal Father despite all our messups he always makes us feel good and welcomes us back to GOD!!!!
