Humble Beginnings Twenty-one years ago it was birthed in the heart of a man of God to love people who had been beaten, battered and bruised by the world and by the instituionalized Church. It was out of that heart that Resurrection Life Ministries was started. Founding Pastor James Hickman or "Pappa" as he was affectionantely known to many for years was a gentle giant. His heart for Picayune was not only evident to RLM but to the whole community. It was in 1989 that eleven people began meeting in "Papa" and "Tishy's" (Jame's wife) living room, praying, worshipping and studying the scriptures. And after twenty-one years nine of those faithful few are still a part of RLM, serving and loving God and people. Yesterday... In 2000 Pastor James Hickman stepped down and turn the leadership role over to his youngest son Allen Hickman. Pastor Allen was with his dad at the beginning of RLM and still serves the people of RLM and our city faithfully and passionately. Under the leadership of Pastor Allen the church has grown to well over 2000 people weekly |
