Pastor Herbert Stroman of Christian Hope Baptist Church has passed away after an extended illness.
From christianhopebaptistchurch.org:
Pastor Stroman is a man called by God to preach the Gospel of Christ. In 1957, Rev. Stroman was called to Christian Hope Baptist Church, in the Third Ward section of Houston, Texas. He accepted the task on the 7th of January, at that time was a second Sunday.
In January 2011, Rev. Herbert Stroman has served as the pastor of Christian Hope Baptist Church for 54 years. God’s grace has allowed Pastor Stroman to license thirty-eight (38) ministers (“Sons in the Ministry”). Pastor Stroman has said so many times that he prayed to the Lord for a church in Third Ward, and the rest is history.
