REV. BOBBY GAYLE’S TESTIMONY
I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior as a child and I have continued to grow and mature in my faith over my whole life. Thirty years ago I married the love of my life and we have 4 beautiful children. Three of them have married and one is in college. We have 6 grandchildren, but 2 of them are living with our Lord. Noah was born in 2007 and he lived for a week and baby Blackwood was a miscarriage in 2009.
At 25 years of age, I answered my call to full-time ministry. I have been afforded the opportunity to work out my sanctification through the United Methodist Church. I have an A.A. in ministry and a Bachelor of Ministry from Brewton Parker College. After completing those degrees, I obtained a Master of Divinity from Emory University.
I served 17 years in local United Methodist churches as a pastor. I love the local church and its ministries. I served the Trinity Circuit in Toombs County for 3 ½ years, then I served the Irwinton-Toomsboro-Salem Charge in Wilkinson County for 13 ½ years. We assisted approximately 10 people into full-time ministry.
I have always been involved in Christian missions. Over the years, I have continually heard the cries of the poor, the needy and the least. Like my earlier call, I simply said, "here I am, Lord". Seven years ago, we began a ministry called "Unto the least of His" based out of Matthew 25.
