| Tim Byrd, one of my heroes |
And
without faith it is impossible to please Him,
for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who
seek Him…( men of whom the world
was not worthy),…
Let me introduce you to a friend of
mine. My family moved to Virginia over
10 years ago, and that is about the same time I began serving with the Raceway
Ministries group at Martinsville Speedway.
We have a great team with lots of committed
volunteers and some of the best leaders I have ever met. One of those guys is Tim Byrd. But Tim and I share more than ministry at the
speedway. This man has a heart to serve
others and to share Jesus with those he meets.
First of all, Tim is a faithful husband
and father. I’ve seen that with my eyes
and heard many people speak about his family.
Second, Tim loves his church his pastor and serves faithfully. Third, Tim serves people in need, as is my
heart. He has given to our ministry,
volunteered, prayed and done more than I can share.
Why is Tim one of my heroes? It is because what Tim says he will do, he
does. He is man of high character and
commitment. When he says he will pray
for you, you are being prayed for. Each
year when it is time for our back2school
outreach, Tim along with some of his family and friends become great partners
in raising the funds and resources to help us serve kids in our community.
Tim and I have traveling several times
together. The verse above speaks volumes
about his faith, but the next verses also sticks out in my mind…
There are
“friends” who destroy each other, but a real friend sticks closer than a
brother.
A friend is
always loyal, and a brother is born to help in time of need.
I am grateful for partners in ministry,
friends in life and people who hold me up.
What an honor when a man like Tim calls and asks for my prayers and
shares his heart. Real men stick
together and serve God together. Real
men become heroes to others.
If you have not met Tim, you need too
because you would find another hero that you can point your children to. We need more heroes like Tim.
