This past Father’s Day, I started a campaign to highlight some good fathers in our community. We got so much great feedback, and we met so many great fathers. I couldn’t just stop there, so we started a campaign to make every day Father’s Day. Every week, we’re going to highlight a good father in the community and just shout them out and tell their story. Go to beliefandgood.org to nominate a good father in your life. Father figure, uncle, cousin, I don’t care who he is. Let’s not let it stop on one day a year. Let’s show some love to these men all year.
Today, I want to say Happy Father’s Day to Dr. Kenneth R. Kemp. We are thrilled to shine a spotlight on a remarkable individual whose dedication to fatherhood has touched the lives of many. Join us in celebrating Dr. Kenneth R. Kemp, a retired army colonel, a physician specializing in pulmonary and intensive care, and a devoted pastor of Antioch Missionary Baptist Church.
Born and raised in a small rural town in Arkansas, Dr. Kemp’s journey is one of resilience, perseverance, and a deep-rooted belief in service. Despite facing financial constraints, he pursued his education driven by a vision to create a better life for himself and his loved ones. It was during his time in the military, stationed in San Antonio, that he discovered his true calling to ministry.
Dr. Kemp’s commitment to his community is evident in his involvement on various boards and his genuine love for his children. He selflessly dedicates long hours, tirelessly working 12 to 14-hour days to fulfill his calling as a physician and pastor. Many individuals in the community have been positively impacted by his mentorship, regarding him as a father figure.
Within his own family, Dr. Kemp’s influence is profound. His children speak of him with deep admiration and respect, recognizing him as the wisest person they know. As a loving and supportive father, he coaches sports teams, nurtures their musical pursuits, and provides them with a quality education. The joy he finds in being a father is immeasurable.
Dr. Kemp’s contribution to his children’s lives extends far beyond worldly achievements. He has instilled in them a foundation of faith, introducing them to Christ and guiding them to put God first. Moreover, he has imparted the importance of hard work and academic excellence, urging his children to always give their best effort no matter the circumstances. His love for his family remains unwavering. In times of need, Dr. Kemp exemplifies the true essence of fatherhood by dropping everything to support his children. He assures them that if they put their best foot forward, he will be there for them 100 percent. His selflessness and unwavering commitment serve as an inspiration to fathers everywhere.
Today, we honor Dr. Kenneth R. Kemp for his remarkable achievements in fatherhood, his remarkable journey, his dedication to service, and his unwavering love for his family make him a deserving recipient of this fatherhood award. Let us all celebrate this extraordinary man who has taught us the true meaning of fatherhood. Big shout out to all the nominees, and thank you guys so much for voting.
