Whereas, this beautiful couple, who first met as students at Piedmont Bible College, has profoundly enriched the lives of thousands of citizens of our State through their religious teachings and Christian compassion; and
Whereas, the Fraziers were led by our Lord in the year 1958 to come to Hartsville to pastor Emmanuel Baptist Church; and
Whereas, during their thirty-six years of leadership Emmanuel Baptist Church has grown to a large congregation, has founded a Christian school to provide a superior education to our children, has tremendously expanded its outreach through home and international missions, and has sponsored a radio and television ministry that daily touches thousands of lives; and
Whereas, the leadership of the Fraziers has brought Emmanuel Baptist Church through great adversity including two catastrophic fires and other setbacks which have been overcome through Christian dedication, loving perseverance, and sheer force of will to serve our Lord; and
Whereas, in addition to their pastoral duties, the Fraziers have served as role models for all people in establishing a Christian home and in raising three children - Tim, Patricia, and Melodie, who have in turn blessed them with seven grandchildren; and
Whereas, the Fraziers have been a consistent, compassionate, and faithful example of true servants of God to the people of Emmanuel Baptist Church with a desire for reaching lost souls and preaching God's Word; and
Whereas, the Fraziers' duties at Emmanuel Baptist Church will conclude upon their reassignment in March of 1994 when they move to the state of North Carolina to undertake new ministries and challenges in service to our Lord; and
Whereas, the Fraziers' tireless ministry and dedication to serving God and the people of Darlington County have been recognized by the congregation of Emmanuel Baptist Church of Hartsville by bestowing the honor of Pastor Emeritus upon Reverend Frazier. Now, therefore,
