He has preached in 13 states, in South Africa, and has “done more revival meetings than a full-time evangelist,” he said.
Growing up experiencing ministry my whole life, sometimes I like to think I have all these ministers figured out. You know how they all wear the button-up shirts tucked into their khaki slacks that are probably pulled up a little too high? Most of them could possibly be mistaken for politicians since they always insist on speaking to everyone when they walk into a restaurant, a grocery store, or about anywhere.
