@@andrewcrane2786 you make my point. This is the harm and devastation he and people like him do every Sunday. You say he is no longer on this earth i say he is in the eatth which makes him still here biblically who is right
Wow, just wow! I need a love button for this. Our egos are so fragile. I love and appreciate the fact that you trust God enough to let it go and move to your next season. Most times, Pastors miss out on living because they Pastor until they die. What about preparing legacy? What about mentoring and handing off to next generation. It takes a strong healthy person to do that. I see so much life in that. Blessings to you, your wife and your church family as you obey God and flourish in your next season. I am so blessed and encouraged by this as I move forward into my next season as well. I don't even know how I found this but God knows I needed to hear this.
As a child I was spiritually guided under Rev. Clay Evans; thereafter, had the opportunity to witness Pastor Charles Jenkins first Sunday. My spiritual growth continued under Pastor Charles Jenkins. I saw growth for Fellowship Missionary Baptist Church. It was then I was graciously blessed to work w/the Children's Ministry under Pastor Charles Jenkins & First Lady Tara Jenkins. To date I'm forever grateful. May God continue to shine his light upon you, Pastor Charles Jenkins & family. You're setting a standard to create such a guide to continue to build The Ship...! (Rev. Clay Evans, Mother Lois Mckee, The McCrays, Sister Betty Pulliam, Minister Jeanette, Mothers & Deacons, Pastor Charles Jenkins & First Lady Tara Jenkins, and more will always hold a special-spiritual place in my heart).❤🙇🏽♀️🙋🏽♀️ Love & Gratitude, Sister Terrie Brown Pope Member Always
My uncle is an apostolic pastor. He’s took over an Apostolic church that belonged to his mother. His mother passed away in 1996, he was older back then. And he preaches the same way to this day. And that’s the church congregation is disintegrating now. It’s shrinking. They say there ain’t no young person at church. Ok y’all need a young pastor after my uncle dies. Noooo the next person in line is a man not much younger than my uncle. I’m like that’s why there’s no young people at church cause y’all don’t have any young ministers 39 abs younger,
I agree! This Man of God walked it out with God. It's so beautiful to see and hear his journey. He's passing the Mantle to a well equipped and anointed vessel. Bless Yahweh!
APOSTLE MARC ASKEW you’re the problem with the church! It’s so many judge mental Christians. This young man could be anywhere else, doing anything except for serving God. People of the church act as if they’re God. God don’t need any help let him do what he does best!!!!
@@israelshells9726 Jesus started @ 30yrs. of age. Ended @ 33 yrs. of age. Prophet Samuel @ 5-6 yrs of age. What GOD has for you is for you no matter the age. Lean not to your own understanding.
@@annettelittle7722 you figure out why you go to church on Sunday and why you are gearing up for the most pagan holiday of the year. Now as for Samuel he was called from the womb but he did not start his ministry nor any other teacher from the bible until 30 years of age. And the difference between them and you and who you promote they know the Sabbath day. Is Saturday and not Sunday they know Christmas is pagan that is why know one in the bible follow it they know that God never promised to take you to heaven and i can go on and on. So don't you lean on your understanding also you fake believers time is about run out and you have been tried and you are wanting. Stay in Sunday school.
@@annettelittle7722 Jesus was almighty God foolish woman and Samuel did not start anything at 5years old see how foolish you sound. Because you cannot start a ministry until 30yrs of age according to the bible. Now according to Christianity you can be 2years old. And it makes sense because that is your knowledge
Thank you Pastor Jenkins for sharing your story. When God orders your steps and you are OBEDIENT to that order you can't go wrong. This shows how you know when God puts something or as you stated; an assignment on your heart HE will connect ALL the dots. I love God and I pray that HE will keep, strengthen and guide you and your wife on this next chapter of your lives. ❤❤ God's continued blessings to you and your lovely wife.
Bless you my beloved. The moment I went through my comments, I saw a revelation concerned you, your family and things around you. my dear, I saw God's favor, Success, joy, breakthrough. Behind that, I saw more spiritual attacks from the enemies, working on holding such blessings, causing your set back, but you are lifted above any spiritual tower. So the Lord is instructing you to sow a seed of faith into a motherless babies home.(orphanage), this is going to be a covenant seed between you and God. The Lord asked me to tell you before the end of (3) three days, you should try as much as possible to sow the seed into Gracious orphanage motherless babies home (orphanage) located in somewhere in Nigeria to bring spiritual and divine breakthrough in your life and that of your family because there is power in sowing of seed. contact the orphanage home management or you can also what’s app them on this number: +2349079090176. Or meet them on Gmail address, Graciousorphanageh@gmail.com if you are through with this, let me know so I give you guide lines on how you should pray It's your season of turnaround encounter
Amen! This is such a refreshing honest moment that you are sharing. We usually hear pastors are leaving a week before it happens. May you stay on the course our awesome God has for you!
Thank You Pastor Jenkins! I just stumbled upon this message and I don’t know how yet but your words, your testimony has blessed my spirit tremendously!! #WINNING! God’s continued blessings to you!!
Candace Lowe omg omg I was combing through looking to see if anyone had posted who the pastor is now . I followed Rev.Sharpe while he was still under Pastor Smith and one thing is for certain, that young man has a rich anointing on his life and he seems to genuinely love people in general. God bless him!!!
God Bless You For Your Obedience to the Lord. Your Song WAR is inspirational to the people of God. Lest we forget we are engaged in a battle on the Earth for our souls. May God Bless 🙏 You and Your Family. Amen
Thank you for this message and I so appreciate how gracious this announcement was. I was once a member of Fellowship and was actually living in Chicago and attending the church on the Sunday Rev. Evans announced his retirement. One of my favorite quotes he said on that Sunday was, "you want to leave when you on top and everybody is begging you to stay..." Listening to your announcement gave me chills. May God bless you, your wife and the entire Fellowship family.
Oh yes Pastor I get it! I too am I 60s have been given a new assignment a transition… I know God calls us to many different assignments while here on earth serving him! May God bless you as you travel through all of the transitions and assignments that he gives you
"Faith on Steroids"! I love it.. Pastor Jenkins, I was exposed to your preaching; while I was a member of EBC between 2004 and 2007. You are truly a gem to the Body of Christ. I'll be praying for you, your wife, Fellowship, and the new Pastor Reginald Sharpe, and his wife. Thanks for showing us what a true transition looks like. A Pastor retiring isn't always about scandal, or a "doom and gloom" situation. This video really brought some things to my mind as I will be transitioning from teaching to other endeavors. The greatest "take-away" is to leave in EXCELLENCE! "Focus on leaving WELL" -Charles Jenkins
Ayiana Henry Exactly. People forget that to everything there is a season. God, spoke to Pastor Jenkins, and is calling him to something else that he has for him to do. He is not saying he is retiring from serving or preaching he is being obedient to the direction of the Holy Spirit. Many could learn from him. Often times we see preachers/leaders who allow self and ego keep them in something that God has called them to move on from. That causes problems for the congregation that they were entrusted with stagnation, splintering, drama etc. Pastor Jenkins, is following God leaving the church whole and well is the best thing that any God ordained leader can do. Prayers to he and his wife as the follow God into the next chapter of their lives and prayers for Rev Sharpe and his wife as they follow God into this next chapter of their lives as well. 🙏🏾
I've actually never heard you formally preach, just your songs. But I will definitely give you a listen now! I don't know why but this video is so refreshing! It's pretty cool to see the more human side of a pastor. Praying for you and your family in the next leg of your journey sir. Also praying for the new leaders and Fellowship. Absolutely awesome testimony. Thank you for your obedience. May God continue to elevate you. Can't wait for the book! God bless!
Wow!!! Amazing testimony. I enjoy every Pastor Jenkins was saying. I need this. When you pray and ask God for a word, and here it was right here for me. God bless you and your family Pastor Jenkins.
This is my first time posting a comment ever.... with that being said, stay encouraged my brother. I do not how I got to this video and I have never heard you preach but, I felt a genuine sense of honesty in this video and you have truly inspired me and my walk. God bless you my brother.
Pastor Jenkins thank you for listening to God! I Pastor in Montgomery Al. One of the most beloved Pastor tarnished his legacy by refusing to graciously retire. His health is failing and the church he was Pastoring wanted him to retire with a very generous package but he refused and they ended up bringing legal into the picture. He eventually settled out of court. The church is in shambles and is currently in the search for a new Pastor. This Pastor has tarnished his legacy and all of the great things that he's done is overlooked because he refused to step down and retire.
This was so deep, I thank you for sharing with the world your story and journey. You helped me come to terms with something deep. I appreciate your ministry. I pray nothing but the best. Signed A Virginian Fan
This is known as passing on the mantle; progression is always part of Gods plan I so respect the humbleness and honesty of this, I pray that God will continue to bless your ministry .
Thank you for your service . I will always be reminded of how you held the hands of my sister and I during our grandmother’s home going service. You brought us comfort. Godspeed and Blessing upon your next journey. You are loved!
I had an opportunity to visit Fellowship back in the 70's and I loved it; me, my, husband, mother, and father! But I extend much prayer to you as you follow God and I admire how you're doing it so...."Unselfishly"! You're STILL young and it has to be a "GOD THING" without a doubt; because MOST preachers do NOT leave their pulpit @ an early age and especially a flock like you have @ Fellowship! I pray God's speed upon you as you seek out WHAT He has in stored for you! I also had an opportunity to see you perform at Brown M.B. Church, in Southaven Ms; where the great young Pastor; Bartholomew Orr is the Shepherd over that beautiful edifice. I pray that God continue to lead and guide you Pastor Jenkins! I know with God on your side and as long as you continue to acknowledge him in ALL ways; He will direct your path! Be blessed in Jesus Name.😊
"I got joy in my soul, God is in control." I got Satan on my trail, but I'm saying all is well". I love this song, that's my war dance song right there.
This testimony is such a blessing. The ability to move when God says move is how I know when someone is truly pressing in to God. The apostolic mantle is on you and I look forward to God's next in you. Blessings!
I didn't plan to watch this but man! I'm excited for what God is doing in your life sir. Thank you for doing his will, having taken the church to a new level, the music ministry of course, and the honoring of Bishop Evans!
As a pastor, this is one of the greatest things I have ever witnessed in the church. Retirement. Transition. POWER! Let the Church continue to be EMPOWERED AND BLESSED! There is a healing shift in the work of God and it looks like HEALING, WHOLENESS AND HEALTH FOR US ALL!
What a wonderful testimony Pastor Jenkins..."wait'n on GOD to blow your mind, U got GOD on your side n u...can't turn back"!!!...luv you're song:)... wow may our heavenly FATHER continue to keep you and your family and bless you as you move forward to do HIS work for HIS kingdom, cause in the end that's what it's all about, Amen & AMEN.
I just subscribed, I will stayed tuned to see where GOD is taking you! Thank you for being obedient! GOD is going to continue to work greatly through your life. Also, thank you for sharing with us, GOD bless you and your wife!
God Bless You Pastor Jenkins. I admire your ability to move forward. We ask God to lead us, order our steps and enlarge our territory but we don’t act upon our synergy because of attachment, memories and sometimes fear. I’m hanging, straddling so to speak right now. However your words and your excitement have encouraged me. Thank you for sharing. 🙏#WithTheseHands
May God continue to bless you . I remember when you and I were members of “ Youth In Action For Christ” . There was something super special about you . The anointing has always followed you and Pastor Oliver and even Pastor Gordon Curry . I was born and raised in Bethel Metropolitan under Dr. Henry J. Lyons . He is a great great man of discipline and he was a wonderful mentor . I can recall you all as young pastors visiting our church . God is amazing, he is strategic concerning his will . Congratulations on your next chapter. 🙏
Thank you for sharing your journey, and for being obedient to God. It take great faith and courage to leave something that you've become so familiar with as well as humility to give up such a great position of leadership. I applaud you and is praying for you and your family, that God will continue to be the sail behind your family. This has also encouraged me as I'm in a season of transition. Blessings.
This is very inspiring . The lord bless you pastor Jenkins. Thank you for being an example of obedience to God. The Lord prosper you on the next steps !
This is so beautiful! I love the fact that your obedience is greater than the sacrifice. Most young Preachers who has a thriving congregation would be selfish to leave. You have a beautiful blessed Family in which I know JESUS CHRIST has greater in store for you. Mountain Top obedience and Faith!!! 🙌🏾❤️
Pastor Jenkins I am so excited about your testimony it's very encouraging for me I'm older than you but it lets me know God is in through with me yet...keep the faith.
Thank you...thank you for sharing your testimony. Glory to GOD! It so encourages me, as the way the Lord has for me does not follow the "norm". I pray the best for you and the successor for "The Ship", and both of your personal camps. I look forward to what you both shall accomplish for the glory of/to GOD. Hallelujah!!!
Wow Wow Wow Wow..... this brings tears to my eyes! Amaaaazing! You don't see this alot in the Baptist church but Bishop Evan's started a great thing that's transcendent! Incredible! Blessings to you Pastor Jenkins for your sensitivity, your obedience, bravery, humility, etc... THIS IS HOW IT SHOULD BE DONE!
Pastor Jenkins, You have done an amazing job taking over "The Ship." Shouts out to Rev Clay Evans and yourself. I truly admire and support your decision. May Peace and Blessings be bestowed upon you, your family and the Fellowship family!
That's so beautiful.... because you shared your testimony and you're leaving a blessing over the ministry, you're showing many others that these are God's people and that He entrusted you with them for a season and it's important they're whole when you leave. God bless you and your family!!
Yes, I felt an obedience like Abraham even in not understanding.... a successor born for such a time, your successor was born for such a time as this as well. My spirit is excited for you sir!!! There is more that God has in store!! "Weaving this tapestry" gave me chills!! #NEXT!!!!
"Focus on leaving well"' Thank you for this inspiring farewell. Your transitioning is a word for my life. I pray for your continued success as you follow God. STAY current and visible as we watch you grow on with God's leading and in His providence.
Congrats on the your new season in your life. I've been following you since you started in the ministry. Your family in the Tulsa area are praying for you and your family. God's got it! 🙏⛪
Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! What an awesome God we serve!!! His plan and purpose is perfect! It's acceleration time in the spirit! It has nothing to do with denominations but "EVERYTHING" to do with God.s Purpose for the Body of Christ!!! Yes, Pastor Jenkins I totally agree with you that 2019 is a Monster Year for God's called and chosen! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!!! Hallelujah!!! Pastor Sharpe is so anointed. I love his seize the moment praise breaks! Abundant blessings and Mega Favor to you both!💜✝️💜
I have enjoyed your music ministry like so many. To sit still and listen to your journey of your awesome life and your love, faith and obedience of The Lord is nothing short of Phenomenal. Hallelujah to The Most High, as God covers you and your beautiful wife. Continued Blessings.
Praise the Lord. This was right on time. I am transitioning from my calling and was seeking God for my peace. Thank You Lord. I think not knowing the next journey has been my struggle. But I believe God. Amen brother.
Amen, GOD bless you, what an inspirational and humble message. Stay on the path that GOD has put you on and most importantly stay in HIS will for your life.
This is awesome. A wonderful example of faith, trusting God, and a church transitioning from one leader to another....the Godly way! God bless you on your new journey!
Thank you for sharing this. People of God need to see Men and Women of Faith hearing God and being obedient to His voice and command. Praise the Lord and I will be praying for you, your family and your church.

Pastor Jenkins, I have never met you but I am so blessed by you today. I have been leading a ministry in NC for the last 10 years and we have been in a state of constant growth. Increasing our reach to those that are most in need. I have began to look at what I believe God is calling me to do next. The next race. Thank you for sharing this. I am excited the next step. God Bless You,
