Congratulations Pastor, your GSM family is proud of you! You have been faithful over little, now God has made you ruler over many. Surely “Excellence is Noticeable.” Daniel 6:2-3: And over these three presidents of whom Daniel was first that the princes might give accounts unto them, and the king should have no damage. Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes, because of an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm.
To God be the Glory!
