Buford Jessup, pastor of Unity Church in Ararat, invites everyone to attend a special service featuring comments by LTG (Ret.) William G. “Jerry” Boykin, one of the original members of the U.S. Army’s Delta Force.
The service will begin at 11 a.m. on Sunday, Sept. 4.
Boykin was “privileged to ultimately command these elite warriors in combat operations,” according to a news release from Jessup. Later, Boykin commanded all the Army’s Green Berets as well as the Special Warfare Center and School.
In his 36 years in the U.S. Army, LTG Boykin also served a tour with the CIA. He has participated in clandestine operations around the world and served his last four years in the Army as deputy under the Secretary of Defense for Intelligence.
Today, he is an ordained minister “with a passion for spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ and encouraging Christians to become Warriors in God’s Kingdom,” Jessup said.
