A Licensed and Ordained Minister

With More Than 20 Years of Ministry Experience

I am the Founder of Practical Christian Living Ministries, and I am currently a member of Linkedup Church in Powder Springs, GA where the Senior Pastor is Joel Gregory. I previously served on the ministerial staff for 25 years at Cornerstone Baptist Church where Benjamin Lang serves as Pastor.  I also served for 16 years as a Chaplain for Truckstop Ministries Inc. in Atlanta, GA, a ministry founded by the late Joseph Hunter.

 

I have been happily married to my wife Mary for 33 years, and from that union we have 5 children and several grandchildren.

 

Apart from being a graduate of Columbia School of Broadcasting, I also studied at Andersonville Theological Seminary where I earned my Bachelor of Theology and where I am currently enrolled in their Master of Divinity Program.

 

I have blended my life experiences with the knowledge I have acquired from my studies to bring a distinct style and perspective to preaching and teaching God’s Words anywhere I go to minister.

 

My goal is to preach and teach the Word of God with simplicity so that all who hear me can interpret the Scriptures better. My favorite Bible verse is Revelations 4:11: “You are worthy, O Lord, To receive glory and honor and power; For you created all things and by Your will they exist and were created.” (NKJV)

My Pastor's Support

Greetings Fellow-pastors & Churches:

It is with great joy that I commend Rev. Kevin Traynor to you. He has been of great assistance to me for the past 22 years, while serving as the Associate Pastor of our church family. Rev. Traynor is both admired and respected by our entire church family. He has seen both the “ups and downs” that can take place in church life, yet his desire is to please God and to do God’s will in his life’s calling. He has prepared for what he is about to do and is determined (with God’s blessings and help) to take on this great work.

I have long been impressed by Christian character (integrity, diligence, work ethics, etc.) and have seen several examples in the development of his preaching and teaching gifts. Rev. Traynor consistently brings honor to the name of Christ in every ministry in which he participates. His love for souls and the family of God is evident in the tasks he undertakes, and he is always well prepared to make an impact on lives. He takes no assignment for granted, whether it is working with the youth, teaching Sunday school, or serving as a chaplain with “Truck-Stop Ministries”, etc. He has willingly sacrificed his own time on a regular basis for our church family and is a great asset to me personally and a tremendous asset to the Kingdom of Christ as a whole. Several of the churches in our area have already received him warmly.

The USA has become a very important mission field for the preaching and teaching of the Gospel of Christ; I am sure that you agree with me. He comes to you as a Gospel preacher with sound doctrine. I describe him as a “Text-driven expositor” of the Scriptures, which is much needed in these perilous times in which we live. When I am away from Cornerstone, Rev. Traynor is the first person upon which I call to bring God’s Word to our congregation. I trust him completely, for I know that he will prepare well (spiritually and personally) to deliver the message needed at that time. I am always thrilled by his preaching energy and tenacity. I believe that his ministry is “portable”, meaning that his preaching/teaching ministry will have a kingdom effect wherever he goes. I recently visited Kenya (East Africa) and am extending an invitation to partner with his ministry when I return there in 2022. It is my desire to see the USA and the entire globe have an opportunity to experience his ministry.

Again, I want to assure you of my highest recommendation of Rev. Kevin Traynor and trust that you will prayerfully consider him for preaching engagements and church events. I believe that God is opening a new chapter in his ministry, and I highly endorse his next steps in ministry. You can be among the first to call on him.

Shalom!

Pastor Benjamin Lang

Cornerstone Baptist Church
