As a boy in Memphis - I looked forward to hearing four great preachers on the radio.
Bishop J. O. Patterson would come on ringing a dinner bell - Its Supper Time! He felt it his duty to rebuke (daily) his young nephew Gilbert for calling himself an APOSTLE and then
Apostle Gilbert E. Patterson would come on with The BOUNTIFUL BLESSING BROADCAST with Incredible preaching and prove his uncle wrong - he just about emptied out his Uncles church - three blocks away! LOL
It is sad that both of them have gone on to their reward - I had great admiration for both of them - but I did go with G. E. and I did love him so - I miss my Pastor - my Bishop.
Then
Evangelist R. W. Shambach would come on with the VOICE OF POWER! It was the very best of the very best. Lord, You could see yourself in the tent with him screaming at the top of his lungs and building your faith!
Then the smoooooothest preacher on radio - cool, calm and collected - smooth as silk - - - - Hooooooooooooooooold The Light - (sing it girls) Let it shine for Je eee e sus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is Paaaaaaaaaaaaastor Epley - E-P-L-E-Y from Fort Lauderdale, Florida. I want to hold your special prayer request in my hand............... Oh how I loved to hear
Pastor David Epley!
As a young teen - I LOVED these preachers - they were my hero's! I had the privilege of preaching for Bishop G. E. Patterson several times in conventions and at Temple of Deliverance - and if you look real good - on some of the tapes that are on TV now - I am on several of them.
I had the privilege of preaching several times for Pastor David Epley in Miami and he was always so very, very kind to me.
I have stood on the platform of the Shambach Revival Tents and testified many times of being healed under Brother Shambachs ministry when I was 16. I have had lunch and dinner with him and he is one of the nicest people (Sister Schambach has always been so precious too) you will ever meet. He will tell you in a heart beat - I AM TRINITY FROM THE TOP OF MY HEAD TO THE SOLES OF MY FEET - If you won't put me in hell for believing in Three - I won't put you there for being Jesus Only! We sat down one time to eat and he said - Let me pray - and then proceed with the blessing - ending with - Bless mine in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost and bless Wayne's in JESUS NAME!!!!!!!!!!
I laugh about it and love them anyway - but I do really work at being a POSITIVE APOSTOLIC INFLUENCE on many of these that God has blessed me to meet and minister with.
