I was saved while in prison serving a sentence for assualt with intent to kill. When the former pastor heard of my faith in christ he made continuous trips to see me during my incarceration offering encouragement and genuine excitement with my being born again. despite the long drive he regularly visited me. When I was released I joined beaver creek church and he never ceased to encourage me and advise me on my new faith. I could always count on a visit from him frequently to check on my welfare and guide me with any problem I had. If I was absent from just one service you could expect to see his car coming up my drive way usually with his wifeto make sure everything was ok. He left the church to follow Gods lead to build a new church in washington state.I eventually slowly began to quit going to beaver creek. that has been over 5 years ago and the new pastor has yet to ever visit me to incur as to why or see if anything was wrong. Recently the old pastor came back to north carolina for dedication of the new building that was built at the church.He stopped by my home numerous times and waited for hours till I came home to see me and check on my well being after many years. The old pastor was the most genuine christ lead servant of the lord I have ever known. As for the new pastor all I can say is he looks good with his frequent pictures in the paper at some public event and he knows how to get pretty buildings built other than that I can honestly say I never even knew the man.Of course I hardly ever attend fancy public events so perhaps the fault is mine
