Technical Team: computer operator on Sunday nights   Today (July 17th) is the anniversary of the day I was diagnosed with Leukemia.  If you do the math it has been 14 years since I heard that unsettling piece of news.  The above photo shows  me kneeling at a tree in our background. Elaine started a practice of each year on the anniversary of the diagnosis of remembering the faithfulness of God.  So 14 years later I remember.  God's grace has been sufficient and I am truly thankful for these 14 years God has given to me.   Thank you God and thank you Elaine for helping me remember the faithfulness of our God. My name is Billy Price and I have been the pastor of Faith Baptist Church for 38 years.  I graduated from Lynchburg Baptist College in Lynchburg, Virginia in 1975.  It is now known as Liberty University.  Upon graduation our little family of three moved to Covington Virginia to begin a new church.  Elaine, my wife; Robbie, my son and myself  started our grand adventure.  I was soon blessed with a daughter, Robin.  People often ask me did I know when I started I would be here 38 years later, I can honestly say no and God hasn't given me a reason leave.  I have enjoyed my ministry in the mountains of Virginia, if it is His will I hope to finish my race here, but that's up to Him.
