5SEPTEMBER 2015BODY OF CHRIST NEWS Pastor Lee Hall Sr. BOCN Where are you originally from Hall I am from a small town in Texas called San Felipe. San Felipe is about 45 to 50 minutes outside of Houston between Houston and San Antonio Texas. I was brought up by a single mom who did her best to raise five boys and one girl. She never gave up on us and even though it was hard she taught us to never quit. The com- munity said none of us would ever amount to anything. I am proud to say all of us became tremendous assets to the kingdom of God and Ambassadors of Christ because we are all saved and serving the local church. My older brothers and sister are also my role models because they paved the way for me to become a strong family man. Although we never had a dad in the home God provided me with a gentle- man by the name of Shedrick Echols who taught me what it meant to love your wife and children and provide for your family as a man. To this day I admire him for setting that example for me to follow. BOCN Do you come from a family of pastors Hall There are several pastors in my family. My pops two uncles and two cousins. I guess one can say that there is a pastoral call on both sides of my family. BOCN After you got saved what kind of ministry did you do Hall After my salvation I served as a youth Sunday school teacher sang in the college choir conducted outreach and evangelism. I also helped to plant several churches in Ft. Worth and in South Africa. I served as a youth min- ister and helped to start several min- istries with the churches and pastor that I served under. I served as a cam- pus minister at the University of Texas at Arlington with the Baptist General Convention of Texas. I also had the privilege of teaching and preaching when given the opportunity. Moving to Colorado years later I worked at the national office of Promise Keepers as a Serve the City Coordinator. BOCN How did you end up becom- ing a pastor Hall Allow me to go back to when it all begin and where looking back I can see the hand of God on my life. One day during the 6th grade I heard the voice of the Lord with an instruc- tion to Go to Huntsville similar to Samuel and I didnt know what to do with the voice or how to respond. The same instruction was given by God again during the 8th grade and finally in the 12th grade. By this time I understood that the instruction was significant and I followed the path to Go to Huntsville After High School graduation and two years at a Junior College I went to Huntsville to finish my bachelors degree at Sam Houston State University located in Huntsville Texas. On November 1 1984 I attend- ed a college Christian retreat and that evening during the retreat the pastors message was so directed to me that I gave my complete heart to Christ as I heard from the Lord again. No longer was this the God of my mother but my God as well. After col- lege I served in the local church where I accepted my call to ministry under Dr. R.E. Fowler at the Eastland Street Baptist Church in Ft. Worth Texas. Pastoring was never one of my inter- est but God had another plan for me. While others saw it in me I did not have that in my ambitions. While serving at a local church in the city one day the Lord spoke to me and said it is time for you to go to the next level and I knew what that meant. So I submitted to the leading of the Holy Spirit and he led me to my first church that I pastored. Since then I started a church called Grace Christian Center also known as the G. BOCN Who helped you start Grace and were you married at the time Hall I was married for 25 years to my late wife Barbara. Together we started Grace and two years later the Lord called her home to be with Him. From that union we have two grown children Lee Jr. and Arisha. Eighteen months after her death the Lord has blessed me with my new wife Angela. I am very grateful to find love after age 50. Angela is a native of Denver and she serves alongside with me in ministry. Angela has two grown daughters Natalie and Nicole and 5 grandchildren.
