Community Celebrates Local Pastors






For eight years, Pastors Kennedy and Deanna Andrews of Harvest for Lost Souls Outreach Ministry (fourth photo, Pastor Kennedy, fourth from left and his wife Deanna and two kids are standing in front of him) have been working hard to make our community a better place. Their efforts and their subsequent impact have not gone unnoticed.
Recently, members of the church as well as community leaders came together to recognize their work. An appreciation banquet was held at the MCM Elegante Hotel. Former Dallas Cowboy Bill Bates (first photo) was the featured speaker. As part of the event, a football signed by Bates and other players was presented to the family of Reggie Garrett, the West Orange Stark football player who died recently after collapsing on the sidelines. Garrett's mother, father, aunts, and stepfather (second photo, Garrett's dad in middle and aunt, and fifth photo from left Garrett's aunt, mom, and stepfather) were on hand to accept the football during a very emotional moment. Garrett wanted to attend the University of Texas and play for the Dallas Cowboys. I emceed the event along with KFDM's Nicole Murray (third photo). Congratulations to Pastor Kennedy and Deanna. Keep up the good work!
