Bro. Fred Hyde Has Been Promoted

On Friday evening, December 25th at about 6:00 PM, a true treasure was called home. Reverend Fred K. Hyde, a Home Missionary Pastor, a Foreign Missionary Evangelist, Founder and Director of The Spirit of Freedom Ministries (Bro. Hyde retired in 2006).

Brother Hyde was an entertainer on Bourbon Street in New Orleans, when in 1958 he in his own words ‘stumbled into a little church off of Canal Street.’ He received the Holy Ghost and was baptized in Jesus name, and almost immediately began preaching. In 1960 he and Sister Hyde, who received the Holy Ghost a few months later, pioneered the First Pentecostal Church, Slidell, LA. In 1970 Brother and Sister Hyde became Foreign Missionaries and spent the next 8 years traveling the world as Missionary evangelist.

At the General Conference in 1978 Brother Hyde and Brother Cupit formed what would become the greatest outreach tool to the chemically dependent, “The Spirit Of Freedom Ministries”

While I was pastoring in NO I worked some with Bro. Hyde and taught his adult Sunday School Class at First Pentecostal (the church he stumbled into that night he was saved) when he was out of town. What a GREAT man......heaven has gained a treasure and many on this earth will forever be grateful for his life and ministry.

This is such a surprise! I didn't know he was sick! What a great man of God!!!

Re: Bro. Fred Hyde Has Been Promoted

I have heard of him...and I am sure heaven rejoices although earth is poorer with so many of the saints going home. We will keep his family in our prayers.
