Heb 13:7 "Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation."

“My name is Lamar Whittemore, and my wife is Chastity.  I was reared under some of the greatest and godliest parents anyone could ever have.  The Lord saved me at the age of six, and answered the call to preach at the age of fourteen.  My wife was reared by a godly Mom, and sat under some great preaching as a member of Roanoke Baptist Church in Liberty, South Carolina.  She was saved at the age of fourteen.  God brought us together, and we were married in July of 1995.  I was privileged to work on the mission field between high school and college.  I attended college at Tabernacle Baptist College in Greenville, South Carolina; and graduated from there in 1996.  After college I was the youth director at Tabernacle and worked on the radio. The Lord opened the door for me to pastor United Baptist Church in Greenville, TN in December of 1999.  While pastoring, I was greatly blessed to continue my education, and graduate from Crown College in Powell, TN in 2006.  We resigned the pastorate in September of 2006.  In a way that only God could, He miraculously had someone mention South Dakota to me the very night I resigned United Baptist Church.  I honestly had no intentions to pray about the need in South Dakota.  But, the Holy Spirit would wake me up in the middle of the night praying for Watertown, South Dakota.  After receiving advice to take a survey trip, we realized Watertown was where God wanted us.  We did deputation for a year and a half, and moved to Watertown in May of 2008.  We began having church in a couple’s home the weekend we came to town.  After seven months in their home, we started meeting at the Watertown Event Center on January 4th, 2009. Throughout these two years God has shown Himself mighty and true!  It’s hard to believe that we will be starting to have services in a church building January 2nd, 2011.  To God Be The Glory!!! God is definitely working here in Watertown.  We are running between thirty-five and forty in church.  We also have a children’s ministry on Thursday nights.  Our high number has been forty-three children.  We are praying God continues to work miracles, touch hearts, save souls, put homes back together, and bring glory to Himself.  With our moving into a building, there are many needs.  We need more songbooks, a church sign, tables and chairs to put in Sunday School Classrooms, sound system, etc.  But, more than anything, we need laborers for the field.  Please pray God will help us reach Watertown, the Great Plains States, and the World for His glory!  I honestly believe God can reach the world from Watertown!”
