 “I walked away Saturday evening with joy in my heart, peace in my soul, and a mind rejuvenated with a fresh understanding. I’m so thankful that the good Lord has led me into your path, a brotherhood of men walking arm in arm, side by side, for the service of sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ”. “As the body of Christ, you have all come together to work in perfect harmony and with an effectiveness that can only be orchestrated by God Himself. Well done!”

Jimmy Green


Kinsmen of the Cross

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of one of our beloved brothers. Today, November 25th, 2024, our brother in Christ and fellow Kinsmen, Jimmy Greene, has gone home to join our Lord and Savior Jesus in Heaven. Jimmy was, above all, a devout believer in Christ, a remarkable brother, fiancé to Lynette, father, stepfather, and grandfather to many.
