On December 29, 2012, Jesse Boyd preached the funeral service of his maternal grandfather, Earl Taylor Green (1928-2012). Major Green served on the North Carolina Highway Patrol for 30 years and was a bold witness for the Lord Jesus Christ in his local sphere of influence. His example had a profound impact on the work of Full Proof Gospel Ministries and its labor for the Gospel all over the world. His support, prayers, and bold example are dearly missed, even to this day.
