Auteur: Andrew Stafford

Andrew had the unique experience to return to his home in Schulenburg, Texas, after twenty-five years and eventually pastor the church he was baptized in, at the age of seven years old. He has presently been pastor there for seventeen years. He spent twenty years and six months in the building trades union, retiring in 1999. He has over eight years of study in pastoral theology, other studies in theology from various institutes, and when he reached the age of sixty-nine years old, received a bachelor of arts degree from, “The Institute for Teaching God’s Word Theological Seminary, ” in Rockdale, Texas, and continues his study at that institute to receive his master’s degree in the near future. This book is dedicated to my mother, Maezell Thomas Stafford Townsend, for sacrificing her life to raising four boys and one girl, during an era of time of economic distress and enabling all her siblings to at least graduate from high school, 1920–2001.
