DALLAS, Ga. — In a classy blue suit, striped tie and starched white shirt, Donald Voyles has the look of a man who has just stepped out of the boardroom of a Fortune 500 company.
He’s every bit the professional, from his freshly trimmed white hair to his newly polished back shoes.
At 89, Voyles may not fit the stereotypical mold of the modern church planter, but the Adrian Rogers-look is paying dividends for a congregation birthed from a back-porch Bible study at his home in suburban Atlanta four years ago.
Tears moisten his eyes as he talks about how the Lord is expanding Mt. Tabor Community Baptist Church in a well-heeled neighborhood in Paulding County, population 175,000 and growing rapidly.
