Last Loving Words of Expression To My Daughter-In-The-Lord Pastor Benjamin Smith, Sr. (1915-2002)

Congratulations to Bible Ministries Fellowship and Reverend Shirley Ross, my daughter-in-the-Lord. With great gratitude I have been her Pastor for approximately 29 years and found her to be faithful to all the various ministries she heads at the Church and outside the Church. I thank God for her dedication to the Lord and then the to the Church. I have found her to know what the Lord has called her to do. She walks in II Timothy 4:2, “Preach the Word; be instant in season, out of season’ reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.”

Shirley has exemplified this scripture. I am very proud of her. She has allowed the Lord to give her wisdom, knowledge and much understanding in such a time as this. She is about souls. The demands and challenges are great. Shirley has been an inspiration and the example to others. Her personality speaks for itself. Personally, it does not take a long time to get to know her. She truly loves the Lord and His people. Shirley is not about confusion and foolishness, rather Reverend Ross is one who has a deep love for souls. She has been taught will and has applied what she has learned through the years through the Holy Spirit. Once again I congratulate you. Keep up the good work!
