Reverend Townsend married his first wife in 1964, however, she was killed in an automobile accident just two years later. He married Phyllis, his current wife on October 6, 1967, and they have been married for 46 years. Rev. Townsend accepted Christ on July 6, 1975 in the Gumbro Fellowship Church.

He worked for Perdue Farms for thirty-two years, and has now retired.

Rev. Townsend felt a call to the ministry soon after he was saved. He received the baptism of the Holy Spirit, and then went on to International Bible Seminary, where he was ordained.  He loves the Lord with all his heart, and wants to see everyone saved.
