Dedications

To my late father and mother, Deacon Jerry and Annis Davis, who taught me to how to pray, and the value of a personal relationship with The Lord Jesus Christ, and they lived the life of Christ before their children. Thank you!

To my beloved wife, Gail Davis, and all of our loving children - seven boys, and five girls, who support and encourage me, and whom I love very much.

To all of the pastors, leaders, teachers, my Bethesda Church members, and friends that poured into my life, supported, and prayed for me over the years. There are too many to name.
