City Revival Returns Transform Church Spirit
Nearly every church in the city knelt at the altar and gained pardon after a powerful revival. People from miles around shared in the experience as the meetings yielded remarkable displays of divine power. Church leaders seek to conserve the ingathering and care for many new believers, perhaps by hiring a deaconess or hiring an assistant pastor. Rev Beeks receives well earned credit for guiding the revival and steady leadership in recent months.
