On 14 October, around 180 packed into Dunstable Baptist Church to recognise the induction of Barry King as pastor, and to give thanks to God.
Barry is General Secretary of Grace Baptist Partnership, a planting, revitalising and encouraging initiative among the churches, which came into being by the Holy Spirit’s leading after the King family’s move from Arkansas, USA, to London 15 years ago.
Irresistible call
On behalf of the church Ron Shipton gave the history of the call, giving thanks for faithful ministry which had been much appreciated during a long time without a pastor. In giving his testimony about the circumstances leading up to the call, Barry spoke of how the Lord had led him from initial resistance to a place where he was not only able, but also joyfully willing, to accept.
