Living For Change: Pioneer and Preacher:Life Lessons of Rev. W.J. Johnson Sr.
Reverend Willie J. "WJ" Johnson Sr. was not just a pastor but a pillar of his community in Warner Robins, Georgia. This biography chronicles the life of a man who dedicated himself to service-both spiritual and civic-over a remarkable 60-year ministry within the Christian Methodist Episcopal Church. Licensed to preach in 1941 and as a first-time delegate to the 1986 General Conference, his commitment led him to spearhead initiatives like the National Evangelistic Crusade aimed at deepening faith and outreach across the nation.
Born into a large family in Wellston, Georgia, on January 18, 1923, Rev. Johnson grew up on a farm, honing his preaching skills while laboring in the fields. His life was a series of fulfilled dreams, marked by his devotion to family, church, and the broader Warner Robins community. Rev. Johnson also founded Boy Scout Troop 163, providing mentorship and guidance to young men for over four decades.
This narrative not only explores Rev. Johnson's religious and community leadership but also delves into his personal life-from his early ambitions to his role as a family man who helped raise a generation of leaders. Written by his daughter Shirlyn Johnson-Granville, "Living For Change" aims to preserve the memory of a man whose life's work was to uplift those around him and foster a community bound by faith, hope, and love.
Celebrate the legacy of Reverend Willie J. "WJ" Johnson Sr.-a life truly well-lived, dedicated to faith, family, and community.
