Böcker av Pat Padgett

This is a book that chronicles the life of Patricia Ann Padgett. Her life story is one of remarkable transformation that begins with a childhood of sorrow and tragedy. A life that begins without any real expectations becomes a life of real purpose and meaning with the guiding hand of the great Master leading the way. So, a life that begins insignificantly transforms into a life of service in the ministry of the most high God that compels a burning within so that Pat Padgett must now share her story as the cry of her heart. Hopefully, this book will inspire a closer relationship with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Patricia Ann Watts was born on Sept. 17, 1941. She was the eldest of ten kids. Her childhood was mostly a life of hard work in the cotton fields of the south. And sadly, her young life included lots of sorrow and abuse at the hand of her hard-as-nails daddy. As she grew into a young woman, she was able to leave home and start a new life for herself in her home town of Chattanooga, Tennessee. She held down several different jobs to support herself as well as her family. During this time, she also developed a talent for singing and playing the guitar. This is a talent that the Lord anointed for His own purposes as many have witnessed. For example, by request, she has sang at many funerals, weddings, and graduations through the years. As Pat settled into her new life, then she met the man of her dreams, Barney Wilburn Padgett. They soon got married and had two children, a boy and a girl. After a few years time, the Lord led her husband, Barney, into full-time ministry. When the Lord called them into ministry, He instructed them to live by faith without any regular income support. In time, the Lord called Pat from being a help meet to her husband in the singing ministry into a life of full-time ministry as a Bible teacher having the gift of the revelation of Jesus Christ. After evangelizing several cities in different states, the Lord called Barney and Pat to New Mexico. Through the years, they have evangelized the whole state of New Mexico. After many dedicated years to the service of the ministry, Barney and Pat settled in Datil, New Mexico. For many years, Pat served as a beacon of light to the community by having a craft shop business and selling Avon to the locals. This community outlet enabled her to share her testimony with many people. Even though Barney passed away in 2016, Pat has continued to keep the flame of ministry burning brightly with a weekly community Bible study and conducting church services at two different locations every Sunday. When she is not spending time doing the work of the ministry, Pat loves to make crafts, grow flowers, and make specialty desserts to share with others.
