NORTH HIGHLANDS - Members of New Testament Baptist Church (NTBC) are thanking the Lord for their new Pastor.  This weekend the North Highlands church will celebrate the installation of Rev. Donnie Bryant.

The former NTBC Assistant Pastor is coming home after 15 years as as the full-time Pastor of Swift Creek Missionary Baptist Church (est. 1868) in Macon, Georgia.

During his time in Georgia he also served as Treasurer and eventually President of the Baptist Ministers Union of Macon and Vicinity, founded and was President of the Fall Line Preservation Association, Chairman of the Macon Re-entry Coalition (State Probation & Federal Parole), served on the Georgia Justice Project, Burned Church’s Coalition and Mayor’s Strategic Planning Council.

Rev. Bryant has also proudly served his country. He spent eight years on active duty in the U.S. Air Force and another 30 years in the Air Force Reserves.

Todd Gearou, Sacramento based film producer, remembers well moving to Sacramento at age 15, with horror sweeping our communities as the East Area Rapist/Original Night Stalker continued his rampage of terror.  Having committed 50+ rapes and 10 murders attributed to the East Area Rapist, he, if still alive or not imprisoned, is nightmarishly still at large.  Says Gearou, “anyone who lived in the Sacramento area during the late 1970s will easily recall the overwhelming fear that California’s most prolific serial rapist and possibly future murderer had over this area.” 

Gearou, like many others, including law enforcement, often wondered what happened to this night phantom some 26 years after his last murder in Irvine, Ca (1986).
