They soon began tithing and becoming fully faithful to the Lord. At one time, Robert took his personal salary and gave it to Christian endeavors. He also gave his time to Christian businesses and Christians colleges. Evelyn was always one step behind her husband and supported him with all he did. Even after having five children of her own, she always found time to help out with the young men who worked for Robert; making sure they had hot meals and places to sleep to keep them out of trouble.
I served as Conference Coordinator for my church for five years. I put together conferences for Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Texas. I have preached, consecrated and offered communion to all of Gods people. I have written and taught classes about “Inclusivity in the Church”. I have held the hand of two very special people in my life as they took their last breath here on earth and had the privilege of seeing the Spirit of God take them as I
Khanh Pham Art Appreciation March 20, 2013 Sacred Place MW 7:30pm “For God so loved the World that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life”. Jesus Christ This project we are suppose to go and find a Sacred Place and take 5 photographs that depicts the area. For me it I could have easily been a church since I am catholic. But I have not chosen the church because I feel that when growing up we was basically force to go and it haven’t occurred to me that this is a place that I can relate to. The sacred place I had chosen is my mother’s house.
My name is Beth Purdy and I am the mother of 9 year old twin boys and along with my husband Steve, we are members of this church. Thanks so much to Lisa for asking me to come back and speak again. I’m honored to be here and am most grateful you’ve come to listen. It was two years ago this past February, in this room, when I gave my first real talk and with everything that has transpired since then, it’s pretty cool to be back here speaking, especially in this room, which has become very special to me. About three years ago I wrote to the clergy here in order to offer up my services by speaking about my personal experiences with mental illness…I had spoken once before, many years ago, and I really felt like it was time to share again.
We as a class would go once a week and as a school we would go once a month. That is when my teacher Mrs. Carlin the 4th grade teacher started to really teach us about God and everything dealing with the bible in religion class. I was rather interested in this and right away started grasping what Catholicism was and what being a catholic really meant. All the church up to 8th grade really stuck to me by making me really love my faith. I may have acted out but then again at that age in life who wasn’t a troublemaker at times.
The most profound theme she discussed during the interview was her love and dedication to her family and church. Her dutiful involvement with her Church has given her strength and encouragement. Belonging to a Christian church and being a part of a spiritual family plays a vital role in living and enhances survival. The church is where she met her recently deceased husband and best friend. The personal interview with Ernestine was a meaningful opportunity that I am grateful for.
His parents had little money and moved from place to place often. He was devoted to his parents especially his mother (Gladys) and was raised to have strong faith in God. They attended the Assembly of God Church where gospel music was a very important influence for him. Elvis got his first guitar when he was ten, and not long after, won the talent show at Humes High School and that was his first taste of musical success. After he graduated in 1953, he worked several jobs while chasing his musical dream.
Elijah was born on November ninth of the year 1802 in his grandfather’s farmhouse. He grew up in a religious home, having his mother be a very devoted Christian and a father that was a congregational minister in his home state of Maine.

Reflection Paper Part I. To be completely honest with the reader before starting Liberty's Theology 104 class I was a newborn Christian nearly three years ago with a big drive to learn the word of God through regularly attending church and small group meetings with friends. I enjoy reading the Bible and its many lessons but had little true understanding of what it all means to me. After starting the class and reading through Dr. Towns novel "Core Christianity" I found it very difficult to wait another week to finish the required modules so I moved rapidly through the lessons to soak everything up and found that I couldn't put the book down.
Sometime while he was fifteen, William was invited by a Wesleyan couple to attend chapel, where he was converted. He wrote in his diary, "God shall have all there is of William Booth." William had a life changing experience when he heard an American revivalist who led a large religious awakening at Nottingham’s Wesleyan Chapel. The crowds of people that wear saved led William to make a lifelong dedication to set out to evangelize the poor. He held nightly open-air services and invited people to meetings in cottages.
