Pastor/Rev. Kenneth F. Sherrill was the Board President for the Oklahoma Jail and Prison Ministry (OJPM). I was privileged to work as a Volunteer Chaplain and at times worked right along aside him. He always had nothing but encouraging words for me and to press on in the Ministry, especially during the times when we had training for OJPM during the Spring and Fall. His leader- ship will be greatly missed. From the short time I knew him I gained wisdom and insight from him. His "Home-Going Celebration" granted me even greater insight on how to be a man of Integrity and Authenticity. Thank you: "Sherrill Family and Greater New Zion Baptist Church" for giving him the opportunity to ministry as President of OJPM, everyone benefited from his leadership and his passion to lead souls to Christ. He will be greatly missed, but we will see him again on the other side. Praise be to our great God and Savior Jesus Christ. George Cochran Jr
