Peter Lord

I was greatly blessed to have been adopted as the son of Park Avenue Baptist Church of Titusville, FL. Pastor Peter Lord took me in and personally ensured I was well cared fir. My God father, Cecil McGee and Peter Lord to me were the embodiment of Jesus. They pour their lives into me and taught me by their lives what God was like and who He is. I learned the essence of Christian love by my visits at Pastor Lord's home every Tuesday evening where Mother Johnnie Lord fed me with her delicious...

Peter taught things I had never heard as a Christian, and those things changed my life.

A very special pastor, a very special person

Peter has been great inspiration to me for many years. His book, The 2959 Plan on daily systematic prayer was a real help to me in my early Christian walk.

This dear brother in Christ impacted my life greatly. I thank the LORD for the privilege HE gave me to just be around Peter Lord.

God bless the entire Lord family! Johnnie and Peter are united again!!!
