I don’t think Brother Tony Spell is WPF, but he may be. I think he is independent. Maybe someone else knows for sure.

Yes he is WPF

Does anyone know if the AMF is still a thing? Is he still in AMF? I’m assuming he was in the AMF, because his grandfather was one of the founders of it, if I understand correctly. I suppose he could be a member of both, but I find that unlikely. I know at the beginning of WPF some members of UPCI were members of both organizations. I don’t know if they still are.

I think, about fifteen years ago, the AMF suffered a substantial membership loss. I’m not sure if they even survived.

Very few AMF churches but they are still around. We fellowship a lot of former AMF churches that are now independent. Timothy Spell was upci for many years but To my knowledge he isn’t anymore. Tony Spell is WPF......He has one of the best soul winning conferences every year. Some of my friends have attended and it is educational and inspiring. Tony Spell actually goes himself every Sunday in a bus to pick up kids ( they run 26 busses ). He really lives what he preaches.

I heard that they not only pick up hundreds of people on their buses for church services, but they feed them too.

Pretty awesome!

I absolutely agree. One thing that gets my attention is when the gospel is preached to the poor. It’s not necessarily because I’m such an intelligent, and caring person, but because it is a biblical sign of the true church. That the poor have the gospel preached to them.

It is a no brainer.

I am encouraged to see a church that is reaching out and literally feeding the hungry!

While I don't disagree in principle, I believe that this scripture is misinterpreted. I have seen humble wealthy people, and proud street people.
Jesus said blessed are the poor in spirit, not poor in the pocketbook.😇🙏

Maybe I should post the scripture passage, instead of depending on you reading my mind.

Matt.11

[1] And it came to pass, when Jesus had made an end of commanding his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and to preach in their cities.
[2] Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples,
[3] And said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another?
[4] Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and shew John again those things which ye do hear and see:
[5] The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.

The story tells itself. Jesus didn’t respond directly. Instead he gave six signs. The last sign was that the “poor have the gospel preached to them”.

I think it is worth noting that the poor having the gospel preached to them, is in the company of five other miracles.

Yes they feed them. They usually spend about $2500 alone on feeding the bus pick ups.
