A VISION FULFILLED

I WAS HOME GETTING READY TO HAVE A THYROID OPERATION IN A FEW DAYS. I LOVED GOSPEL MUSIC AND I WAS PLAYING SOME SONGS OVER AND OVER. 'SWEET, SWEET SPIRIT' 'THERE IS A RIVER' AND OTHERS. I WAS PRAYING AND COULD FEEL THE PRESENCE OF GOD SO CLOSE. I SAW A VISION OF MY FAMILY COMING TOGETHER AND MOVING FORTH TO SING GOSPEL MUSIC. I SAW US SINGING IN OUR OWN DENOMINATION AND THEN MOVING FURTHER BUT I COULD NOT TELL WHERE. I SAW THE FAMILY SINGING BEFORE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE, CONNECTING WITH OTHER SINGERS AND MINISTERS. I CALLED MY FAMILY TOGETHER AND TOLD THEM OF THE VISION. WE BEGIN TO SING AND MOVE OUT TO CHURCHES IN OUR DENOMINATION. MEMBERS OF THE FAMILY BEGIN TO WRITE SONGS. WE NAMED OUR MINISTRY 'ONE THRU CHRIST' BASED UPON THE PRAYER THAT JESUS PRAYED IN THE 17TH CHAPTER OF ST. JOHN. THIS WAS IN 1978 AND WE HAVE BEEN PRESENTING OUR MINISTY IN SERMON AND SONG THROUGHOUT THE MID WEST. AS OF TODAY, WE ARE STILL SINGING AND PRESENTING THE MINISTRY. EVERYTHING I S! AW IN THE VISION HAS BEEN FULFILLED BUT OUR SINGING BEFORE THOUSANDS. WHETHER THIS WILL HAPPEN OR NOT IS LEFT UP TO THE LORD. WE ARE A FAMILY UNIT INVOLVING MYSELF, MY SON, AND FIVE OF MY DAUGHTERS. SON IN LAWS MAKE UP THE BAND. WE NOW HAVE A GRANDSON AND GRANDDAUGHTERS INVOLVED. WE PRAISE THELORD FOR HIS CALL.

I WENT FROM PASTORING TO THE FIELD OF EVANGELISM, FINALE FULFILLING THE TRUE CALLING THAT I HAD UPON ME.
