He put his talents to work building a church parsonage for River of Life and renovating Valley View Baptist Church and Greater Anointing Assembly of God. He last worked very hard to give the youth of Oak Street Baptist Church a beautiful, special place to worship God. He was an avid supporter of It's All About the Children, a foundation in Kampala, Uganda dedicated to providing both the special and material needs of the children of Uganda. He worked with Operation Christmas Child every year and each year he was able to increase his support for the organization because God blessed him above and beyond all he could have ever dreamed! His development of Copper Hill Patio Homes, Goose Creek Resort in Pigeon Forge and Raccoon Ridge Cottages in Johnson City were a great source of pride for him. He retired his business, Ward Development, in 2010 so he could give more time to his family and his furniture design and building business.
