[ NATHANIEL COOPER SR. ] faithfully served as PEACE MB CHURCH's Pastor for over thirty years. He was an inspiration to all that had the opportunity to meet him, a legend in his on time. "IF THE BIBLE HAD NO CLOSING LINE, I WOULD WANT TO BE THE KIND OF MAN THAT MEN WOULD WRITE ABOUT, SO PEOPLE COULD READ ABOUT" is the line from a song that he sang that describes the kind of life he endeavoured to live. A man of integrity, extreme faith and wisdom who devoted his life to being a doer of the word of God. A man of many talents with a simplistic yet passionate way of sharing God"s word, and an unrivaled love for people. The anointing on his life was ever present and visible when he enter the room, but was mixed with a humble spirit that made you feel at ease in his presence. Always approachable and never to busy to share a word of wisdom, some encouragement, a key to spiritual success. Coupled with the anointing to sing and play the piano that was able to loose the shackles and set the trouble heart free, Pastor Cooper was a man predestined, called, justified, and glorified.

WE LOVE YOU

1 Corinthians 12:4-8 Amplified Bible (AMP)

4 Now there are [distinctive] varieties of spiritual gifts [special abilities given by the grace and extraordinary power of the Holy Spirit operating in believers], but it is the same Spirit [who grants them and empowers believers]. 5 And there are [distinctive] varieties of ministries and service, but it is the same Lord [who is served]. 6 And there are [distinctive] ways of working [to accomplish things], but it is the same God who produces all things in all believers [inspiring, energizing, and empowering them]. 7 But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit [the spiritual illumination and the enabling of the Holy Spirit] for the common good.

We have been blessed with a dynamic and diverse group of anointed men and women who have answered the call of God on their lives. Each with their on unique set of Spirit given abilities and gifts, that they have shared and are sharing with this body, "PEACE MB CHURCH". There is no way to measure the impact that they have made individually or collectively. Each yielding themselves as living sacrifices, fulfilling God's purpose and assignment for their lives. They all have families who have been a tremendous influence on the ministry and are an example of the fruit necessary for the body to edify one another. Romans 12:4-8 Amplified Bible 4 For just as in one [physical] body we have many parts, and these parts do not all have the same function or special use, 5 so we, who are many, are [nevertheless just] one body in Christ, and individually [we are] parts one of another [mutually dependent on each other]. 6 Since we have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, each of us is to use them accordingly: if [someone has the gift of] prophecy, [let him speak a new message from God to His people] in proportion to the faith possessed; 7 if service, in the act of serving; or he who teaches, in the act of teaching; 8 or he who encourages, in the act of encouragement; he who gives, with generosity; he who leads, [a]with diligence; he who shows mercy [in caring for others], with cheerfulness
