Local Group Helps Form New Church in Bakersfield
Shafter Pentecostal Church of God expands with a new work on Panama Lane in St Bakersfield. Pastor Rev L D Main and his wife, both from Nebraska, arrived after graduating from Southwestern Bible Institute Waxahachie Texas. They started ministry with a tent in February and Sunday School attendance reached 67 last Sunday. Rev Avery Roper, a Shafter youth evangelist, began preaching about a year and a half ago. His last revival was in Miami Arizona. The pair, also members of the Pentecostal Church of God in Shafter, plan to build a church and begin foundation work soon.
