Ministry Profile of Ronald and Brenda
Crawford
Insight By: Communications Editorial Staff
People often approach Pastor Crawford to seek
guidance and to ask questions about the ministry here at New Vision.
Some take the opportunity to share how the ministry has blessed them,
while others share how they have experienced a fresh perspective of
God's word as preached and taught by Pastor Ron. Many say that the
ministry has made a difference in the quality of life they choose to
live.
Pastor Ron is very transparent in his personal
relationship with Christ, and in his ministry calling. It encourages
many to continue to seek God's guidance and to faithfully accept God's
provision for their life.
Often, Pastor Ron will share personal life
experiences as a husband, father and minister as an example of how God
continually perfects our walk in Christ. He values his family and
believes they are the proving ground God uses to evaluate whether or
not his faith is genuine.
His wonderful wife, Brenda also loves the Lord; and
she lives and depends on God's faithfulness. Like Paul in Philippians
1:6, she feels"... confident of this very thing, that he which hath
begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ."
Brenda, is Pastor's helpmate. She brings to the
body of New Vision a quiet yet intuitive spirit that compliments the
teachings and vision of the ministry. As pastor's wife, she is his
friend and encourager in the myriad of responsibilities involved in
leading such an exciting and vibrant ministry as New Vision. Brenda is
most energized when being used by the Lord in building up of His
kingdom. She ministers with her husband here at New Vision. She is also
a discipleship leader and leads the women's ministry, Jewels Anointed
by God (TJAG), at New Vision.
While ministry and family are full time
responsibilities and a top priority for Pastor and his wife, they do
reserve time for relaxation. Pastor and Brenda enjoy many of the same
sports, vacationing spots, and other outdoor activities.
Pastor Crawford firmly believes that trusting in
the Lord to continually provide all that he needs to navigate through
life is critical to his Christian walk and in leading others to Christ.
He is very active in the ministry, testifying about the provision of
God. And, how the word of God lights the pathway of his life. He makes
it known all too well that it is through his personal relationship with
Jesus Christ that he's afforded the Father's grace daily. It is the
impetus behind any past, present or future accomplishments he will
make. Pastor Ron's aspiration is to be an effective steward of the
spiritual gifts that God has given him, in order to fulfill the work of
the ministry, in his life. He has an innovative and transparent style
in teaching and preaching the gospel. It provides real life answers for
real life circumstances that enable people to apply God's principles to
their life through practical application on a daily basis. The benefits
of doing so can be heard in testimonials from New Vision members and
guests as they share how Pastor Crawford's teaching and preaching is
empowering.
At New Vision, Faith is Truly Exciting and Lives
Are Being Changed.
