In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Proverbs 3:5-6 Lanzy Moten was born to Louis and Melinda Moton in Lake Providence, Louisiana on June 25, 1941. At an early age, Lanzy was born into a new life in Jesus. He always remembered his favorite song "Walk with me Lord" and Scripture, Psalm 23. Lanzy always echoed that "the Lord is my shepherd; and I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name' sake...Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever". Lonzo, as he was fondly called by many, attended the public schools of East Carroll Parish where he received his formal education. Throughout his life, Lonzo spent many years living the city life. As time, once again, crossed his path, he moved back to Lake Providence to be with family and friends. In 2009, he joined the Anointed Way Ministries family under the leadership of Apostle Cedric Brown and Assistant Pastor Mary A. Jackson. I have fought the good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: 2 Timothy 4:7. "When he calls me, I will answer, I'll be somehwere listening for my name". On Thursday, December 15, 2011, Lanzy entered into eternal rest at LSU Medical Center in Shreveport, Louisiana. Siblings Nora and Louis Moton; Ordean Barker and Emma Jackson, in addition to his parents all preceded him in death. He leaves to cherish his memories one sister, Julia Moton-Edmond of Lake Providence, LA (Milwaukee, WI); two special nieces who were his caretakers, Mary Jackson and Lillie Gipson; a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
