I was told you give credit and honor when it is due..... So shout out to MY PASTOR, non other than Pastor Ralph Douglas West I am HAPPY MY PASTOR teaches me right. I am HAPPY MY PASTOR is sooo connected with God that when he preaches different sermons and I did something wrong, his connection is sooo strong and amazing it allows the holy spirit to convict me, and he not even know it. My pastor is a powerful leader. He encourages like no other, constant give reminders that I am anointed for whatever may come my way. I can't wait as we celebrate you the way you deserve!!!!

Pastor West, the Holy Spirit lead me to stand and walk down that aisle to join TCWW. I am so glad I didn’t allow the enemy to stop me. I love your teaching and preaching style. Your honesty and openness has truly helped me. I’ve learned more here under your leadership than I’ve learned in all of my years in church. Thank you.

Rev. Dr. Linda L Bruce Oct 2, 2024
My journey with Pastor West preaching has been a wonderful experience. I started listening to Pas on TV during my studies at United Theological Seminary. The opportunity came and I joined in person The Church Without Wall. The sacred calling of chaplaincy located my position out of Texas. Still Pas was preaching and teaching the word of God, helping me to grow in Christian truth and faith on TV. I appreciate Pastor West unwavering teaching, humor and IC3 conferences.
Thank you, Thank you! Happy Anniversary.
Truth & Grace, LL Bruce

Pas,
I have enjoyed your shepherding over the past twenty-five plus years and my life have been blessed in God's grace and mercy. You continue to amaze me by unveiling new incite of God's Word when presenting familiar scripture. In other words, "this sheep has and is being well feed".
Congratulations for 37 years of pastoral leadership at TCWW and continued blessings as you preach and teach the uncompromising gospel of Jesus Christ!
Jeanette Barrett Oct 8, 2024
Pastor West I wanted to say thank you for leading me as a new member. I have been attending for 3 years from California. I have been struggling with so many things in life that had me on a dark space. I can testify that I am encouraged in my spirit just recently joined a ministry. I am sure this is where my Heavenly Father would have me. I cant wait to meet First Lady Sherita West and other women. I feel so welcomed and look forward to serve under your leadership and share the hope and promised of God. Im learning to increase how I see God knowing nothing is to hard for him and how enormous he is as you referred to Isaiah 40:12-16. Thank you. Jeanette Barret
Linda Taylor Oct 8, 2024
Pas,
I started out with you in 1996 at the Bingle Campus as a Greeter. What a joy it was to see how people came out to hear you teaching and preaching the Word of God!
I remember how people would line up all around that building trying to get into the next service. Wow, that was amazing! They didn’t mind the wait because the word was out “Ralph West is a dynamic preacher and you have to hear him!”
Thank you for your leadership and guidance throughout the years. It’s been such a beautiful journey!
God continue to bless you and your family is my prayer.
Elder Linda Favorite Oct 8, 2024
Pastor West has poured so much wisdom into my life & my family’s growth. We joined TCWW in 2005 when we were displaced because of Hurricane Katrina. He & the family of TCWW provided us a new exciting opportunity to find hope & an abundance of love here. Thank you Pas for always giving me purpose to serve in ministry here using the gifts that God has equipped me & my family with. And especially reaching out when my mother left you showed me what servant hood to God is truly about, you personally reached out, so as a servant I will continue to reach out to others. Love you Pas & Lady West so much. Thank you for accepting God’ call.
Myiesha Oct 8, 2024

Pas, congratulations on your 37th Pastoral Anniversary!
I am truly grateful to have been under your leadership for over 25 years. Your biblically-based ministry has had a significant impact on my life and my family. The growth we’ve experienced under your guidance has been incredible, and I am sincerely thankful.
Our family has been blessed by your leadership, wisdom, and encouragement. I know that thousands have also been touched by your preaching and teaching of the uncompromising gospel of Jesus Christ, and I count myself among them. Glory to the Lord!
Blessings to you and your family as you celebrate 37 years of pastoral service at Brookhollow Baptist, also known as The Church Without Walls.
Mary Vines Oct 8, 2024
It was a truly a rewarding experience to be able to film Pas for over 25 years. Being able to share his sermons with a global audience was a wonderful feeling. We are so blessed to have him as our Pastor/teacher and may he continue to be blessed and may his sermons inspire those that do not know the Lord to come. Love you Pas.

Jack W. Allen Oct 8, 2024
Dear Pas,
Thank you for 37 years of preaching and teaching God’s word! I recall when you first took a small group of us to Studewood and taught us how to and what it meant to share Christ with others. What a blessing it was - to reach others (who we may or may not ever see again) and have them to pray and receive Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. I still love sharing Christ with others every opportunity I have. Thank you, Pas! Praying for you as always.

I joined The Church Without Walls over 20 years ago. A friend invited me to attend church and introduced me to the grief support ministry which I was in need of due to the recent passing of my husband. I joined on Christmas Day at the Queenston Campus and immediately became involved in ministry after completing Firm Foundation. I made many friends. You and your members made me feel loved and accepted. When First Lady Sheretta West began to expand The Mosaic Woman’s Ministry to the Eldridge Campus I was more than happy to lend a helping hand.
I love to be in service of this wonderful church. 1 Peter 4:10 says “Use whatever gift you have received from God to serve others.”
Thank you Pastor and Mrs. West and your family for leading me to my church family. You taught me how to love and serve others as Christ would like us to do. May you stay blessed and keep growing!
Melvin Davis Oct 11, 2024
Pas, congratulations to you and your family for 37 blessed years. The growth I’ve experienced for the past 16 years through your preaching, teaching, and leadership has truly been a blessing. I’m eternally grateful for the love and support you’ve expressed to myself, as well as Myah and Khrista when Karrah transitioned. I can testify to your sincerity in caring, loving and praying for the members of TCWW. We love you and pray God’s continued blessed upon you!!
Joey Perry Oct 12, 2024
Pas, Congratulations on your 37th Pastor's Anniversary! Thank you for giving yourself so tirelessly to preaching and teaching God's Word, in order to help us be the best disciples of Christ that we can be. I pray that God will continue to strengthen and keep you as you lead His people here at TCWW!
Brenda Moy Dudley and Family Oct 12, 2024
Dear Pastor West (Pas), In 2000 my husband, Rev. Melvin Dudley shared he had heard about your gift of ministry; teaching and preaching God's Word. On

We thank God for a Pastor and Shepherd who makes a difference; your commitment to preaching and teaching God's Word; and guiding us with knowledge and understanding. We are so grateful for your encouragement, leadership and faithful ministry.
We honor and celebrate you on your 37th Pastoral Anniversary. Pas and First Lady Sheretta, May God Bless and Keep You.
