Our Next Contributor, Amy Waddell:
1.) How long have you been in the SBC?
All my life and then some. Calvin Morrow is my grandfather, an SBC pastor for for over 40 years, (recently named Pastor Emeritus of Calvary Baptist in Rock Hill, SC by my home Pastor Tom Tucker) so I guess I’ve lived it. I remember traveling with my grandparents and several other pastor families to the SBC connventions during my childhood and teen years, camp meetings on the sawdust floors, revival pastors staying in our home and playing barbie dolls with preachers like Percy Ray.
What is your current role in the SBC? Currently I am a pastors wife, my high school sweetheart and husband Kyle is the Pastor of an SBC Church in the Low Country of South Carolina near the Beaufort/HIlton Head area…(no jokes about suffering for Jesus 
down here) I’m a Carolina Beach Girl.
2.)What do you love most about the SBC?
I LOVE the Savior we serve, I LOVE the “Church” we serve…the people, the Pastors, the Pastors Wives, the Missionaries we send, the Missions Involvment, the stand on the Word, I LOVE to see people “Get It”, I love to see women changed and grow in the freedom of Christ. I love to see young people come alive in Christ and wonder seek change.
3. What one area of the SBC would I like to become stronger/healthier?
Of course I would love to see more souls saved, homes and marriages stronger/healthier but an SBC “entity”that I would like to see strengthened would be the Local Associations and more Cooperative Program dollars sent straight to the mission field. I guess thats more than one.
4. Historically, Who is my favorite Southern Baptist?
In my small world I’d say Calvin and Frances Morrow..my grandparents…I’ve watched a lifetime of faithful service to the end. On a grander scale…I’d have to say I have few heros…the grace of Adrian Rogers and Junior Hill, the boldness of Billy Graham and Ergun Caner, the sacrifice of Lottie Moon, my current favorite teaching preacher is David Allen, I could go on and on.

Dr. percy Ray was a favorite of mine, I still go to old time campmeetings where SBC pastors and Independents gather together, to worship Jesus. one such meeting will be at Denham Baptist Church, Oct 3-8 in Waynesboro, Ms.
Matt- If the contributors have blogs/websites, could we get a link in their bio info so we could get to know them better?

You are my favorite pastors wife. I hope and pray that through your experiences as a pastors wife many will be as encouraged as I am from you. (at times
). I love you more than air…..
Add me to your list. I have a son who is also a minister, and his wife gives him great support. We have a beautiful granddaughter, soon to be nine. Thank God for couples like you and your husband whose happy comment is duly noted with appreciation. I am to supply for our Son on Nov.15, d.v., and I was reminded by our granddaughter that his mother-in-law had asked me to quote Ps.118:24, when I began the wedding service for him and his bride on the last day of 1994. That verse and Zeph.2:11, deo volente, will be my text for the message, Awakening Awe. that I hope to preach for him in two mornig worship services. It is knowing that young couples like you are seeking to continue in the cause of Christ is what gives us older folks hpe
