"What is amazing to me is how the LORD would take such an inconsequential person as myself, a Poor Boy from the Panhandle of Texas, and use him in any way. I showed that pastor the Dec. 1, 1975 Time Magazine in which it told of the 230 blue and white Buses we ran throughout the Chicagoland area bringing folks to First Baptist Church, Hammond.
One of the members of that church asked me about how we did in OKC? I told them we never had a Sunday that someone wasn’t saved and baptized in 30 years. I told them how we’d given over $15 million dollars to missions and that at our peak we were supporting 474 missionaries world-wide.
I told them that we were the most hated Church of OKC. We were called the "skirt church," cause our ladies, like the religious Jews here in Israel, wore skirts. One fella asked for stories about how it was to work for John Rawlings. Another asked about how it was to work for Jerry Falwell. I told them Dr. Ford Porter, author of the little gospel tract, God’s Simple Plan of Salvation, was the most spiritual of the 4 men I was privileged to work for."
"...230 blue and white Buses we ran throughout the Chicagoland area bringing folks to First Baptist Church, Hammond."
With all those kids being bused to FBCH for the all the years they have done this you would think Chicago would be a much better place to be with all the Christian converts. Did these kids not get taught the Bible? Chicago is one of the most violent crime ridden cities in the country. They gave us Obama. All those bus kids didn't get the gospel message explained to them is what it appears.
"...we never had a Sunday that someone wasn’t saved and baptized in 30 years." 1 2 3 pray after me conversions. Convert someone or get demerits and be expelled from college. When JV retired they quoted some statistics. I don't remember the number but it was something like 60,000 souls saved at WHBC during his 30 years. Imagine thousands of souls saved and they are running about 200 in church today? They must forget the part about discipleship. Get them saved and get them on their way.
"...we’d given over $15 million dollars to missions and that at our peak we were supporting 474 missionaries world-wide."
The church was probably given $15 million dollars for missions but not all of that was passed on to the 474 missionaries.
"We were called the "skirt church," That is why half the members recently left, nothing to do with the Jews. Also the students at Heartland Baptist College dress the same way nothing unique about WH.
JV sure does brag a lot for a poor humble insignificant boy from the pan handle of Texas.
