I'm sure we have all seen the photos and read what Dave Hyles posted on his FB after his recent visit to Hammond. As we have discussed on many threads, we all know him in a different way depending on when you attended HAC/FBCH.
As for my time at HAC, Dave was the youth pastor at FBCH and taught Church Ed and a few other classes at HAC. He was an excellent teacher. He always dressed sharp and carried himself well. He seemed to be able to relate to the Hacker as well as the normal student. He was a favorite preacher in chapel.
I believe it was after my first or second year at HAC that Dave left to pastor in Texas. I knew or had heard nothing about any problems. Again, I was just a college kid. I remember when the students were allowed to vote for their favorite out of town preacher to come back and preach in chapel. Dave was one of the top 3.
Of course, we all have now heard about the things that were going on and the hurt he caused. Sad indeed.
Here is the topic for this thread. In your opinion, what does Dave Hyles need to do at this point in his life to be restored or to show repentance? is it possible for him to make things right?
Here is one of Dave's observations on his trip:
8. Pastor Wilkerson seems like a genuine and caring pastor. I do not know him well, but he was gracious to me in spite of the fact that a couple of his own staff men would be displeased at him treating me like a human, Just acknowledging our presence, I am sure brought him criticism, but he was gracious anyway, and it allowed others who love us to know we were there so they could greet us. It is evident that he has won the hearts of the people and we are all pleased to see that. When he spoke about God touching his heart at the 1980 Youth Conference when the theme was 'So You Want To Be a Star" I kinda felt that was for me because I was the one who was still leading the Your Conference then.
