Ron Gay displays his Bachelor’s Degree in Theology from Greater Mount Zion Bible College & Seminary in Grimesland, NC

by Bishop Ronald Gay

This was from a promise I made you, myself in 1975.

My dad drove me three hours one way to Winston Salem State University in the fall of 1975 to drop me off. I could see the pride that swelled within him, his very own boy at college.

I can only imagine the thoughts that ran through his mind: My boy won’t have to taste the bitter labor that I had to endure.

I stayed a short while and joined the army with the promise to get that degree, and here we are forty eight years later. I give God all the Glory HALLELUJAH!!!!!!!!

So a lady said to me when she saw my Bachelor’s degree, “I’ve been watching you through the years. Now you have moved from this position to that. Now you are a Bishop. What more can you learn?”

I said to her. “The more I learn of God the less I know about Him. Therefore, I have to keep grinding out his word.”
