Another Special Life in Christ

These testimony lives are not stories of "role models". Jesus is the role model!
These are lives wonderfully touched & changed by Jesus!

Robert Blair Price, Sr.:

Born about 1926, Robert Price still runs in the church's annual 5k race (as of 2000). Energetic and outgoing, he has participated every week in a local Sunday Department of Mental Health visitation ministry since 1960. So, we rarely saw him at Sunday morning service at Northside Baptist Church, when it was in West Columbia, S. C. He and his sweet wife (deceased 2013), Louise Y. Price, have been members there since the mid 1960s.

In the late 1970s, Mr. Price's insurance agent sent him a card on his birthday. Robert appreciated it so much that he began to send cards to members in his section of the army reserves (he was a SGM). In the early 80s, he started playing on the church softball team when Northside did not have a field of it's own; and they played in the Columbia Recreation League. Among those on his birthday-card list are members of those various softball and basketball teams. Over the years his list of birthday card recipients Robert sends to has grown. In 2001, he sent out 1390 cards; by May 2019, he'd sent out 40,00+!!! What motivates a man to give in such a way? How did his conversion happen? As of Sept. 2018, Robert is still bringing smiles to folks with birthday cards!

23 May 2019: Saw something wonderful this evening at Grecian Gardens!!! A very lively and joyous over-age-80 man and 2 younger others walked in, and some regulars and many waitresses eyes & attitudes lit up with smiles. It was Robert Blair Price who has a lay ministry of writing birthday cards (he has written over 40,000). In this time of negativity and divisiveness, it was TRUE JOY to see Robert's bright light after so many years since 2003 when we left Northside Baptist Church.
