I was introduced to one of your messages by a dear friend, and as a result have been searching UTUBE for more of your messages. The message was titled from fear to Faith. I have since listened to Several others, and has been Blessed by them. Hopefully the next time you speak at Bethany Baptist Church, under the leadership of H. Patrick Cason that I will be able to attend. I have partnered with Bethany and truly appreciate all that God is doing in the ministry. God is truly using you to speak the word in season and out of season. May God continue to allow your life to be a witness in these last and evil days. God bless you and your family. Carol Wilson from Chesapeake VA. Please feel free to send me your daily devotionals.

I am writing from Harrisburg, PA. A few weeks ago I ran into the Lilly Grove website and haven’t been able to let go since. I absolutely love the easy to understand and consistently powerful preaching, the singing, the music. All of it is right down my alley. There was a pastor change at my church about 2 years ago, but unfortunately I haven’t quite been able to latch on to the change of spirit for worship. In fact, I have ceased attending. Anyway, although I am many miles away, I want to join so bad I don’t know what to do. But God bless you folks for providing a way I can get a great worship experience, even through the computer.

Hello Rev. Anderson,
My family and I used to live in Houston for 13 years and just recently watch your sermons. I greatly admire your true and honest sermon regardless of others accepting it or not because you preach the facts and is just what it is. Very informative true Christian theology and uncompromising faith. Job well done.

I attend my church every Sunday, but I don’t feel I’ve been to church until I look at Lilly Grove Baptist Church. Pastor Anderson preaches the unadulterated truth regardless.

Hello,
Where does this information come about Terry Anderson? The part about him marrying his long-term partner is false. To my knowledge, Terry and Amelia never even dated once. I remember very vividly him saying he didn’t want to remarry and he also said in a Tuesday night Bible study that he wasn’t with Amelia. The church already knew where Terry stood in that area. Marriage came because the church made the decision for him because he was messing around and he kept saying that he enjoyed sinning. Despite the long wait for him to either change his habits or leave, they finally came to the decision for him to marry the woman he was messing badly over.

Although I love Pastor Anderson, he is not God and he made mistakes and poor decisions but he knows the word and teaches it! He always says he is a sinner! But God!!! Which one of us has not made errors? He got married again…it’s none of my business how that occurred or how he chose his wife!!! Good Day people!

Pastor Anderson is truly an inspiration to God’s word. I loved hearing his preaching the word when I first heard him. I am looking forward to visiting his church whenever I am in the Houston area. I could relate to his church upbringing cuz I am a fellow Louisianan too. God bless him forever and always.

Pastor Terry Anderson,
I do truly thank God for you and the entire church body at Lilly Grove Missionary Baptist Church for providing for me a church home. I joined Lilly Grove recently when Warren Sapp was a guest speaker. Lilly Grove is so full of love! I can feel the love deep within my spirit and I am always very anxious to arrive at church every Sunday. I thank God for the fact that I’m finally focused on living as a New Creation in Christ Jesus.
My testimony; “I Once Was Lost But Now I’m Found, I Was Blind But Now I See”! I’ve always wanted to be a Motivational Speaker and you’re a very inspiring man of God who continue to motivate me. You’re a true blessing! My mother speaks very highly of you. She will be 85 years old on Sunday April 24th 2022. My brother’s name is Vernon Howard and he and his wife named Virginia Redding Howard use to live in South Union in the early 70’s on Lydia street.
I’m looking forward to sharing my testimony because God said that He will take my bad and use it for someone else’s good. For all things work together for the good of those who love God; Those who are the called according to HIS purpose. “Praise the Lord”
