100-year-old pastor celebrates birthday by preaching gospel

Marshall Reinhardt celebrated his 100th birthday on Dec. 1 the way you might expect a retired pastor to do so — he stood in the pulpit and boldly preached the Word of God.

In a strong and unwavering voice, Marshall told members of Awtrey-Westville Baptist Church in Acworth, pastored by his son Tommy Reinhardt, about the goodness of Jesus.

Marshall was born in Enigma, Georgia, on Dec. 1, 1924. In 1945, he married Ruth Kelley, who passed away in 2002. They have two sons, four grandchildren, three great-grandchildren, and one great-great-grandchild.
