Billie Sol Estes Campaigns Salvation in Indianapolis Church
Billie Sol Estes, Texas financier convicted on multiple counts and now free on bonds, spoke to about 200 congregants at a West Side Indianapolis Church of Christ. He preached a five-step Salvation plan tied to the Nigerian mission fund aiming to raise 6000 in 1963, with donations collected after his sermon. He is noted for past deceptive fertilizer tank schemes and remains under federal indictment while traveling in the United States. Estes, described as a master salesman, appeared at the service at the invitation of local pastors and urged repentance. The Rev Holt and church members welcomed him and directed offerings to the Nigerian fund while Estes handed out pledge cards.
