Pastor Ed and Ginger Anderson: Twenty Years with Good Shepherd
On Sunday, January 15, the congregation surprised Pastor Ed and Ginger Anderson with a card shower and a cake reception to celebrate their twenty years at Good Shepherd Baptist Church. Also, we're sending them off to a conference/getaway of their choice. It is much deserved.
Pastor Ed and Ginger first came to Omaha in January, 1992 with three elementary-age children; until they found a house, they stayed with a family from a sister church across town.
Good Shepherd was a much smaller congregation at the time, so Pastor Ed was a "bi-vocational" pastor for many years, working construction until the church was able to take him on full time. Pastor has served as preacher, Sunday school teacher, Bible study leader, counselor, chairman of the NARBC Council of Eight, chairman of the Omaha Christian Academy board, on the Whispering Cedars Baptist Camp board, as unofficial repairman, custodian...the list could go on. Ginger has served as Sunday school teacher, children's church teacher, ladies' Bible study leader, counselor, and has worked on bulletin boards and flowers, and all things piano...and that list could go on, too. The congregation is profoundly grateful for their selfless self-giving.
The congregation appreciates Pastor's Word-saturated ministry, which can be summed up by the verse written across the reception cake:
This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.--Joshua 1:8 (NKJV)
