Lynwood "LB" Earl Berry, III

“I love people! I love to see people happy, I love to see people full of joy, I love to see people restored, I love to see people overcome in the face of adversity; and if I can help a person by singing a song full of the Father’s Holy Spirit, pray for a person and help them come to Jesus, or serve a cup of coffee with a kind word and a smile...then I feel like my part of being a servant is pleasing to the Father. Hey, cause that’s what we all are here for, to be servants to one another and love each other as Jesus loves us!”
