Reverend Dr. John Richard McDuffie
"I HAVE FOUGHT A GOOD FIGHT, I HAVE FINISHED MY COURSE, I HAVE KEPT THE FAITH,
HENCEFORTH, THERE IS LAID UP FOR ME A CROWN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, WHICH THE LORD, THE
RIGHTEOUS JUDGE, SHALL GIVE ME AT THAT DAY; AND NOT TO ME ONLY, BUT UNTO ALL THEM
ALSO THAT LOVE HIS APPEARING"
2 Timothy 2: 7, 8

Reverend Dr. John Richard McDuffie went
to be with the Lord Sunday, December 24, 2006. He was called to the ministry at the age of sixteen and
had served as a Baptist minister in many churches in North Carolina and South Carolina. Pastor
McDuffie was a graduate of Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, Wake Forest, N.C., and received
his Doctorate from Luther Rice Seminary, Jacksonville, FL. He was a founding member of Equestrian
Ministries International and South Carolina Equestrian Ministries. Currently he
served as a member of the EMI board of directors and also as consultant
of SCEM. He was also
serving as Equestrian Minister as consultant for the South Carolina
Baptist Convention. He
was on the Board of
Directors of the McCurdy Plantation Horse Association.
Pastor Richard McDuffie loved the Lord and certainly fulfilled the Father's commandment in Matthew 28, "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost."
Pastor McDuffie had a vision of using one of God's most beautiful creations, the HORSE, to minister to others while riding on the trail; at Sunday morning Cowboy Church services; or just sitting by the campfire talking to people who needed the Lord at a long weekend trail ride. He was an inspiration to all.
His vision was completed on Sunday, December 24, 2006, as he was ushered into the Kingdom of God, and I believe heard, “WELCOME HOME, MY FAITHFUL SERVANT."
