I pray you all have a great time honoring a man of God and a family that have done tremendous things for the Kingdom of God!

Amen we have only been back here but a bit.The church here is a great witness of what the bible can actually do if taught.
The saints here have a great bible knowledge and are just awesome.The church recently went through a rocking but Jesus knows what to do and its back and more powerful than ever.
The current Senior pastor Brian Kinsey and his wife are from Louisiana as well as I am.She and I are from the same home towns......Do you hear that NLYP?????? Franklin,La.Just a little over from Morgan City.
I have actually preached in Morgan City when Brother Taylor was the Pastor.

wasn't Elder Rockco in Franklin???

I don't know who is currently in Franklin.The church is Independant Apostolic.That is the church pastor Kinseys wife was at when she was a child but they moved away.The Coopers pastored there for years.I went to school with Karen Cooper and ran into her and her mother at Calvary Pentecostal in Jeanerette at their yearly conference last year.Karen looks great and is a praise singer at Landmark Inc a UPC church in Lafayette,La.Funny how she and I share the same last name now.lol.

He was in Franklinton.

I thought Kinsey resigned?

He is back full time and all is well.

Wow. I guess I am out of the loop, lol.

I have very fond regard for Sis. Shirley Welch and I'll tell you why later when I have the time. :)
