Bro. Brown from your church

• Messages sorted by:[ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ]

We have been blessed by a Bro. Brown and his family from Bro. Richard
Masoner's church.  He preached for us Thursday evening, Friday nite
youth group, and Sunday afternoon.  This man can preach!

He then attended a baptism of an 80-some-odd year old lady from one of
our nursing home ministries.  She received the Holy Ghost on Pentecost
Sunday in our church.  

One of the men in our nursing home ministries, Bro. Jeff Watts drives
a handicapped school bus, and his bus company lets him have the bus
one Sunday per month in the summer time to transport nursing home
patients to church.  This lady is a stroke victim, and is paralyzed on
her entire left side.  She is wheel chair bound.  

Our outreach director, Bro. Jerry Caesar (also webmaster here at
eli.wariat.org), arranged with his apartment manager so we could yse
their indoor swimming pool for the baptism.  The apartment staff and
many guests were touched as they look on and heard us sing Amazing
Grace and watched the baptism.

Four of us lifted this rather *LARGE* lady, Opal McGee, out of her
wheel chair and carried her into the water.  When she was in the pool,
she shouted, "I'm in the water!"  Then I proceeded to baptize her in
the wonderful name of Jesus.  Bro. Al Alcina took pictures, which I
hope to have scanned and added to the Schaumburg UPC home page.

It is so great to see that God can save anyone, no matter how old, or
what the conditions are!
