Your Presence Matters Most

For a few years now, my ministry philosophy has been “the ministry of presence”, that is, I only live that Christ might manifest Himself through me. To be a sanctuary of His Holy Presence is my life’s purpose.

When I became district superintendent of Philadelphia, I decided to focus our mission statement on three words: “Presence Matters Most!” 

Also, after a couple of years, I just finishing co-writing a new book manuscript — with Pastor Margaret Michael and Dr. Brian Charette — that is now hopefully in its final edit stages and should be printed in 2019. The title is, of course, “Presence Matters Most!”

Recently, in preparation for our district pastors’ prayer retreat, Pastor Jim Lucas from Lebanon, Pennsylvania, moved deeply by our mission statement, has written a new song. Yes, he was inspired simply, but profoundly, by “Presence Matters Most!” 

While I was totally humbled when I heard the new song, it also gave me deep affirmation in my own soul that God is on the move. 

Listen to the song, that Pastor Jim Lucas has also turned into a beautiful YouTube:


Presence Matters Most!
That is... Presence. Unity. Souls. Love. 

Pastor Kerry Willis
