Mel and Jenny Lockhart
Mel Lockhart was privileged to attend BBCS from K5 through 12th grade. Jenny began attending in 9th grade, and they both graduated in 1996. They were married in 1998 and now live in Shelby, NC. God has given them five wonderful children to rear for His glory.
Because of the spiritual emphasis at Bible Baptist in both the school and the church which led them to trust fully in Jesus Christ, the couple always had the desire to serve Him. Even while they were at Bible Baptist and serving at the downtown Atlanta Rescue Mission, God began preparing them for what they now know is a life of service in the inner cities among the poor and needy.
For the past three years, they have been involved in a local rescue mission and seeking God’s leading as they work through a local church to plant an inner-city church. It is their desire to see a church in a forgotten city that reaches those who are the most forgotten such as the drug-addicted, poor, and homeless.
Mel says, “BBCS was a place where we learned biblical truths that have directed our paths, such as James 2:5 which says: Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him?
“We are so very thankful for those at BBCS who invested in our lives with eternal truths that transform,” Mel continues.
