From the Shepherd's Heart...Thursday, October 29, 2015

This Sunday you will have the joy of hearing Larry D. Wright, of Florence, AL., preach.  Let me introduce him to you:

*  Currently President of Leaders Building Leaders, an organization dedicated to equipping the next generation of Christ-followers in the theology of the Great Commission and conducting short-term mission trips in North American and around the world.

*  He was a pastor for 34 years in only two churches (Valley Grove Baptist Church, Tuscumbia, AL and First Baptist Church, Florence, AL).  He served on staff in Texas and was a vocational evangelist.  Just this past Sunday First Baptist Church Florence celebrated 50 years in ministry for Larry.

*  His last assignment was President of T.I.M.E. (Training in Missions Evangelism) Ministries in Huntsville from 2009 to 2013.

*  He has been preaching since 1965 while he was a senior in high school.  This past Sunday, he celebrated 50 years of ministry.

* Graduated from Samford University, Birmingham (BA) and Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, Fort Worth, TX (MTh).  He has taught religion as an adjunct professor at the University of North Alabama in Florence for seven years.

*  He is a published author and enjoys writing as a hobby.

*  His personal interests include golf, duck hunting, Labrador Retrievers and backpacking.

*  Larry and his wife, Debby, have three daughters and eight grandchildren.

*  I have known Larry for over ten years and he is a trusted friend.  We have shared preaching responsibilities the last three years in Zimbabwe and Botswana.
