Reverend Richard Allmon, pastor of Full Gospel United Pentecostal Church in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, passed away yesterday. Brother Allmon serves as presbyter at large in the Louisiana District and is on the Executive Advisory Board of the Apostolic Archives International, and the Nominating Committee for the Apostolic Ministerial Hall of Fame.
Please remember the Allmon family as well as the church family in your prayers.
Blessings,

He was a great man and pastor. From my understanding he did pass away in the pulpit. It is all surprising because he was an extremely fit and healthy man. He ran every morning and has done so for as long as I've known him. Please pray for his family and church. I can't imagine his church and family actually witnessing it. That sort of thing stays with you.

I wonder if this Man of God had a son
named Ricky Allmon? I remember going
to a Jackson College of Ministries concert
one time and he (Ricky) sang lead on
one of the songs recorded.

Yeah, that was probably Ricky Jr. He sings a lot.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
Quote from Ethel Goss (widow of 1st UPC Gen Supt. Howard Goss) book "The Winds of God"
From what I heard he was 58-ish, and his legs started giving out during an altar call. They called the ambulance, took him to the hospital, and he lingered there long enough to say "I'm gone." And then he was gone.
