“And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” Joshua 24:15

I am the daughter of Marvin and Lucille Rector.  I accepted Christ as my Lord and Savior as a child and am a firm believer in the Almighty.  I was raised Baptist in my hometown of Caddo Mills and my relationship with Christ was developed under the leadership of the late Rev. Fordie Willis of Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church.

I graduated from Caddo Mills High School in 1991 and married the love of my life Micheal Stoker, August 8, 1992.  Micheal and I have 3 children and 3 grandchildren.  I never attended college but must say that the favor of the Lord has definitely been upon mu live and marriage.  Micheal and I have served and been a part of many churches throughout our 28 years of marriage but decided a few years ago, after visiting for many years and  several occasions to become official members of Greater Rose of Sharon.  It is my desire to do what is pleasing to our Lord and Savior letting my light shine for His glory and His alone.   

 My name is Tim Chenault. I am an Evangelist and Bishop with the Church of God. My wife of 40 years, is Kim. I was called from my Mother's womb for my name to be Timothy and to preach this great gospel of Jesus Christ. My wife is a Pastors's daughter.She plays the piano and sings.  My wife and I pastored for 20 years.We have been on the Evangelistic field for ten years.We have preached in 36 states and 4 foreign countries. God has called us to this Evangelistic Field and gave us the specific call to help Restore the Message of Pentecost. 

I am also a graduate of The School of Christ founder B.H. Clendennen, who was also my Mentor and personal friend.
