Pastor Lamar Davis was a fatherly friend of mine. When I moved to Milwaukee in 1989, I met him shortly thereafter in ministerial venues. He was a very happy and truthful man of God. He invited me to speak at his church and became a fatherly type mentor in things pertaining to the kingdom of God. I got to know his wife and son and found them to be family in their embrace of me as a newcomer to the Milwaukee area. Pastor Lamar stood boldly for the truth of the gospel and was a no nonsense type of apostolic pastor who we greatly miss. He was a true team player in the gospel if you stood for righteousness and truth. He lived the godly and holy lifestyle without compromise. I greatly miss him.

I'm fortunate to have known Pastor Lamar and call him a friend. We survived several fridged Milwaukee Brewers Opening Days together at County Stadium along with Pastor Leroy.

He could have started a church anywhere, but he chose to start The Word is God Worship Center in one of the toughest areas in Milwaukee because he felt that was where God wanted him to serve. He was passionate about serving those in need and he did make a difference.

I will never forget my friend or the impact he had on my life. Pastor Ansen, I'm so glad to see that you are carrying on your Dad's legacy. My prayers are with you and your entire family during this time.

Pastor Denice Beverly Davis & Son:
My heart is saddened by the death of our dear brother and fellowsoldier in the Gospel. Pastor Lamar was a blessing to me as a young preacher when I first came to Milwaukee in 1989. He was a man of truth who loved God and the work of ministry. He loved his wife and family and enjoyed being a team worker with others who were valiant for the truth of the gospel. We will greatly miss his presence and stature in Milwaukee.
Sincerely,

Dr. Charles Green
