I believe that other Churches should be inspired and motivated to act by the phenomenal success of the Heart Gallery and related events that occurred at Friendship West Baptist Church and should equally be challenged by the commitment of my Pastor, Dr. Frederick D. Haynes, III to serve those without a voice.
