Pastor Orlando D. Franklin

by Phyllis Teague
(Jackson, Mississippi)

My Pastor is:

A man who teaches the word of God, the word of truth that gives the people power...the power of love...the love of God!

A man who not only hugs the sheep, but touches the heart of his flock. The sheep know his voice and are blessed by his presence.

A man who teaches the medicinal benefits of laughter, and financial benefits of giving.

A man whose singing brings light into dark places, and pierces the heart into conviction. A man whose smile actually means "I love you", A man whose eyes say "I'm praying for you". A man whose lessons from the pulpit make you jump up and say I can take on the world, bring it on!

A man who everyone has heard of, most people know, who many people want, but we have him! because he chose to stay our shepherd...

A man we appreciate and love, and who Unity Fellowship Baptist Church of Jackson, Mississippi, is proud to call "Our Pastor"!
