I haven't had time to read the whole thread, just bits.
Bro. Jeffers was originally ALJC, his mother founded the ALJC church on Martha's Vineyard in MA. He preached the message the first night I came to the church I have been a member of for 20 years in Norwich. That was in 89, so he was a young guy then.
His mother passed away not long after that, but not before converting a couple of nurses at the hospital.
Bro Jeffers has gained nation-wide aclaim in the movement, but his mother was something else. She was very much used of God here in New England. And, even though she was classifiably a "woman preacher", she had a wonderful humble spirit and founded and pastored a good church where no man wanted to go. Didn't know her for very long, but she was something else.
