A Pastor who set a Guinness World Record for his remarkable 72-year tenure at a church in Texas has died at age 94.

The late Rev. Dr. Doris Nathaniel Benford Sr. was known for his lengthy service at the Rising Star Missionary Baptist Church in Texas City and his passionate dedication to his congregation.

“It is with saddened hearts that we announce the homegoing of our beloved pastor, father, grandfather and so many other wonderful things to us. Rev. D. N. Benford, Sr. has transitioned to be with the Lord,” the church announced on Facebook April 15. “He has fought a long hard fight for the Lord, and He has called him home to be with Him!” The Rest of The Story Here
