I mentioned some of you by name and he remembered some of you

He said he had gone to the reunion that some of you had put on in Nashville (?) a few years ago and enjoyed sharing memories...

I didn't make. No one invited me. Of course I had been out of circulation for many years by then. I did get the DVD though. Thank God for technology.

Darrel was among the Florida contingent. There were four of us I believe. :-)

Is that DVD only for JCM alumns or is that something I could buy?

Pastor Suber's church is a multi-million dollar debt free complex. On Saturday before Easter they through a picnic/party for the community. Would guess over 500 showed up. Free cotton candy and rides for the kids. BarBQue dinner etc.

The first pic is Pastor Suber with some out of town preacher.

The next is Pastors Suber's mom and Sis Griffin

The next few are the fellowship hall, huge full sized basketball court, state of art kitchen etc.

Then a couple of the kids having fun.

Pastor's sister- Michelle can barely be made out on left side of last pic

Fantastic actually. Creative miracles. New families joining every week. He told me three new families joined yesterday.

Like mentioned in first post- church has gone from 130 to 300 in 3 months. Had 400 on Easter. Yes he is blessed.

Are these families new to Oneness Pentecost or people already in a Oneness Pentecostals church leaving other churches for JS?

I ask because this is a time tested Oneness Pentecostal tradition when a "big name" preacher takes a church in an area dissatisfied saints in other area churchs then have a new option they didn't have before and often take advantage of it.

Of course futher complicating matters here is that JS previously pastored in the area. How many of these new families are from his previous pastorate?

I have often thought that a high visibility well thought of exUPC guy who has "gone charismatic" would probably do well around the Alexandria, La area for those that have been won at POA but do not agree with the legalism.

It is of course both. He did pastor in the area before so he is of course not an unknown to the area. But from what I have seen it is those no longer attending church as opposed to church hoppers.

Also, I have also met his neighbor and family, to whom Pastor Suber personally witnessed and is now attending. So once again it is both.

But there is also no denying the spirit of expectation, deliverance, and revival in the services.
