Houston Patrick

FROM THE BIOGRAPHICAL HISTORY OF PRIMITIVE OR OLD SCHOOL BAPTIST MINISTERS BY DAVID MONTGOMERY AND MARK GREEN:


ELDER HOUSTON PATRICK


Elder Patrick was born on May 6, 1934, and united with Damascus Church at Scott County, Mississippi in May of 1954. He was ordained by that same church in December of 1962. Elder R. B. Johnson, Jr. officiated. He and his wife, Maxine C., had one son, Joseph.

ELDER PATRICK WRITES: I first began to feel the weight of sin andto pray for forgiveness at age four or five years. Not being reared (earlyon) in a Primitive Baptist Church I did not hear the true gospel untilabout the age of twelve. However I knew what I heard was the Truth Ihad been seeking, and vowed someday to make the Primitive BaptistChurch my home.

Later during my teen years, my mother joined the Primitive BaptistChurch over the objections of my father and immediately her childrenbegan to follow in her footsteps until seven of the eight had becomemembers. I verily believe that sometimes the lambs look to an oldersheep to show the pathway of Truth. My mother reaped the greatestreward of her obedience to the faith once delivered to the saints.God blessed me to serve churches in my home (Bethany) associationfor the first three years of my ministry. I moved to Weakley County,Tennessee in 1966 where I served the Greenfield and MacedoniaChurches for two years. Macedonia called me full time in 1968 where Ihave been attempting to serve God's people up to the present time.My ministry has not been broad on a geographical basis. Most of myministry has been confined to the Southeast, namely: Maryland, Virginia,Kentucky, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri,and one trip to Michigan.
