Welcome New Staff Member

Recently a new staff member, Brother Alan Saunders, was added to the staff of Peoples Baptist Church. He served with Macedonia Missions for 25 years, 13 of which he and his sweet wife Patti served in the Bahamas.

Brother Saunders has already been a blessing of gigantic proportions, heading up our missions department as well as all of our church and school web sites. In this day and time churches need someone who is technologically savvy, and Brother Saunders is certainly that. His wife Patti has worked with children for many years and is presently completing her 11th year of teaching at Old Suwanee Christian School. She will be joining us in our kindergarten program this fall. Brother Saunders is teaching an adult Sunday School class in the church, and already I am hearing rave revenues of his abilities. His class is growing and I expect even more blessings to come in the future. Last Sunday I was able to sit in his class and it was excellent.

I have been at PBC for a long time and I have had some great staff members in my 26-year tenure. Dr. Hyles said one time, "When hiring a secretary, hire one that is loyal; you can teach her to type." Praise the Lord, Brother Saunders is very loyal and he also can type up a storm! Alan is very cable, intelligent, and godly. I am excited about his being here with us. He handles the Word of God with respect, fire, and zeal. Please pray for his success as he joins with me in the work here at Peoples Baptist Church.
