Rev Paul was so supportive of the local churches and the lay people who served their local church. He made things so much easier for us. I am glad that I got to work with him.

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of Pastor Paul - I had the privilege to hear him speak several times at the Well - where my aunts and mom went to church when they were at an age where steps were a problem. He will be missed by many I'm sure. We have all been blessed by his presence here on earth.
