Section One Revival Rally

Friday night we were able to attend the Revival Rally for our section.  It was held in Cisco at the beautiful church pastored by the Thompsons.  They have been doing some updating on their building, and it looked wonderful!!

Bro. Jerry Dean from Bossier City, LA, spoke.  It was a great message - "Redemptive Lift."  I'm so glad to know "I am blessed!!"  God has been good to me and to the United Pentecostal Church.


I had the opportunity to meet a man who knew my dad when they were kids!!!  He is the son of the preacher who came through Texas when my Grandma Layne received the Holy Ghost.  She was the only one in that particular revival to pray through.  Bro. Wilkins told me last night about him, my dad, Uncle Dean and Herman Lindley jumping off a "cliff" into a river - he said it was more like rapids.  It was just really neat to connect with someone from that far back in my family history.


This next part is for you - DON RYAN - we met your sister and brother-in-law last night.  They will be at our church in November.  Just thought you might like to see another picture of her with one of us since you got to see her on MY sister's blog a few weeks ago. 


I hope each of you have a wonderful Sunday!!  Can't wait to "hear" awesome reports from your church.  YOU ARE BLESSED!!!!

She sent me a text. Once she gets to California, she can make it through the Layne clan.

Thanks for the picture.

It was a bulleye.. that message took me back to my early childhood. Bro. Dean, as Kyle would say "Brought It".

How cool is that? To meet Bro. Wilken's son. I would love to set down with him and hear the stories. :)
