Pastor appreciation month could be every month for our pastor at City of Refuge South. Pastor
Jeff never looks for acknowledgement and that gives us even more joy to give him the credit that
is due.
He is meek and still he is fearless as Moses was. No thing in his life is more important to him
than his intimate time with the Father. If you seek him out any given morning at 5 a.m. you will
find him in his chair considering his savior’s words, reading a psalm, worshiping, sitting still and listening, or supplicating the hand and heart of God into our world through sincere, reverent
prayer. Pastor Jeff has been giving the body of Christ the truth, the hard word, the word of love
for a long time and continues to do so faithfully week in and week out.
Pastor Jeff is one above reproach, and is one who upholds 1 Timothy 3 well as he leads his
household well, and he does so by honest example, with a true “follow me as I follow Christ”
philosophy. He is constantly giving away the “secret counsel” he receives from the Father, and
many have benefited from his selfless, no spotlight, arrows pointed outward, teaching. He is
authentic, he is passionate about true discipleship, and our congregation at City of Refuge South swims in deep spiritual waters because of his leadership.
Would God raise up many more like Pastor Jeffrey Deel, for the greater glory of our Father, and the benefit of His people.
