On behalf of our Pastor, Bishop Abe Randall and the entire St. Matthews Free
Will Baptist Church Family, we are again humbly requesting that our Pastor,
Bishop Abe Randall's name be made a part of the street which he has unselfishly
labored for 42 years.
Our Pastor was honored with a proclamation from the city in May 2008 and we
were and are still honored because we know that he were deserving of it.
Bishop Abe Randall is a man of honor, integrity and a man called by God. As we
journey together, we look to our Pastor for the Word of God - declared and
rightly divided. Spiritual guidance, nurturing, prayer, support for our families,
wise counsel for those who stray, a kind word when necessary, corrective
measures and most of all, a man who will love the church family and community
unconditionally and who is willing and able with the help of the Almighty God to
lead us on the straight and narrow path of righteousness.
He is a giant in the community as we continue to move forward with the Food

Bishop Abe Randall is only the 2' Pastor here at St. Matthews and has labored
long and hard and we truly believe he is deserving of having a street named after
him while he is yet alive and can smell the fragrance of the roses,
