PASTOR COMMITS SUICIDE BECAUSE HE ''DOESN'T FEEL GOD HEARS'' HIM ANYMORE

A Georgia pastor and father of two who once confessed that sometimes "I don't feel like God is hearing me" killed himself outside his home while his wife, kids and 800 member congregation waited for him to show up for church on Sunday.According to 13 WMAZ, Rev. Teddy Parker Jr., 42, of Bibb Mount Zion Baptist Church in Macon, Ga., was discovered by his wife, Larrinecia Parker, 38, in the driveway of their Warner Robins house with a "self-inflicted gunshot wound."
The Christian Post left messages for the family and the church office on Tuesday and responses are still pending.
Lakesia Toomer, a church official, told WMAZ, "We consider this a private matter between the family and the BMZ church family. We kindly ask that the public respects our privacy at this time."

Russell Rowland, a member of the church who employs the pastor's brother at his landscaping business, revealed to CP in a telephone interview that the pastor had sent his wife and two daughters to church ahead of him on Sunday morning and they were all waiting for him to show up with the morning's message from God.

"When he didn't show up they went looking for him," said Rowland. "I'm very surprised because he didn't preach that. He preached totally against it. It's something that the congregation don't really understand."
