I would like to say that I'm so happy and blessed to know this man as my childhood pastor as a young man growing up @ Mount Sinai Missionary Baptist Church-Fayetteville, NC. As a child growing up, I can remember his powerful sermons from the puplit and his civic work in the community. 03/29/2010 07:11

Rev. Johnson, truly many mile stones have been passed. Fifty years of faithful service as a pastor equipping the saints and tending the flock is remarkable. Our churches today need strong men of God, like yourself, who will stand on the Word and stand in the gap. May God bless you as you continue serving HIm and my He use your book to re-kindle fires of evangelism to the ends of the earth. 04/02/2010 05:59
One of the great blessings in my life has been knowing, observing, and working along side Rev. Aaron Johnson. His example of courage derived from faith, his wisdom, beginning in the fear of the Lord and extending from his breadth of experience, and his compassion, arising from the depth of his soul, have not only demonstrated his Christian character, but have served as an inspiration for me and for all who have known him, and, now, for all who read his life story of “service, struggle, faith, and hope.” Matthew Rouse, Jr. 04/02/2010 09:39

Dr. Johnson, congratulations on 50 years of ministerial service and the publishing of your book,"Man From Macedonia". You probably won't remember me, but I relocated here from Washington, DC, 10 plus years ago. I attended your church and met you and you were kind enough to have several conversations with me. During that time you prayed for me and helped get one of your members to assist me with housework for a while. I shall always be grateful to you for your prayers and kindness. May your book, which I will purchase a copy, be a bestseller and may you continue to be blessed with a long and enjoyable life for all you have done for all people. Bill Crews 05/18/2010 15:14
