For several years I had the privilege of serving the Lord along side of Pastor Rod when he was the assistant pastor at City View Assembly of God. My late father-in-law, Rev. Edgar Thomas and Rod spent many years reaching out to the lost souls in that community and also used their own money to maintain the church. We will never know how many souls they led to Christ either directly or indirectly. I will always remember Rod as a devoted man of God and I am so happy his son, Donnie, is my pastor and continues to seek the lost and as his father did. Rod was faithful to the Lord and now He has finished his race and will receive the prize that was set before him. God is the Author and Finisher of our Fatih- Glory be to God for holding Rod's hand and taking him safely home. I pray the family will be able to celebrate Rod's life even though grief holds us all captive for a time. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

I am so sorry to hear of Rod's passing. He was a good man and a wonderful Christian example for others. He spent his life working for the Lord and he certainly lived the way he believed. He will be greatly missed but I expect to see him again one day.
