It was our privilege to be able to minister to the church meeting in the home of the Goerickes, Carl Jr. and his wife Loretta, in Taylor, Texas. We reminisced about many years of ministry. Carl and Loretta had attended Southwestern Assemblies of God University in Waxahachie, and had many fond memories of sitting under my Dad’s teaching at University Assembly of God. Our daughter Ruthie served as a work-study under Loretta many years ago. Cyndie shared in the service about how prayer is the key and has been the greatest factor in the growth of our church in Alcalá de Henares, Madrid. We found out that the greater part of the historical population of Taylor is Czech and there are many similarities with the traditional Roman Catholic Spaniard whose “religion” is basically no more than a socio-cultural & historical identity. We need to avoid unnecessary cultural barriers and focus on the essentials of the Gospel – the commonalities we share in the nucleus of the Good News and not the peripheral minutiae of traditions and wording which too often hinder access to the life-changing power of the Gospel. Most of all we need to share the Good News in the power of the Holy Spirit with signs & wonders giving testimony to the veracity of the Message. We ended the evening praying for the sick and a time of refreshing at Whataburger. Thank you Goerickes for your hospitality. We trust that we will become your first missionaries to support as we share the Good News, Reaching, Teaching & Training in Spain.
Primera Asamblea de Dios, Taylor, Texas
Fuimos grandemente bendecidos por la congregación de First Assembly of God en Taylor, Texas (cerca de Austin) y sus maravillosos pastores Shane y Wendy Allen. La iglesia y su congregación ha sostenido nuestro ministerio fielmente por unos cuantos años. Disfrutamos de la oportunidad de compartir con los adolescentes en la Escuela Dominical – una gran inversión en el futuro del Reino. Apreciamos especialmente el gran espíritu de adoración y la generosidad de la congregación y su ofrenda a nuestro ministerio misionero en España. Estamos conscientes que están preparando una base para un gran futuro en la ciudad de Taylor y sus alrededores. La parte del condado donde están es uno de los focos de población con la tasa de crecimiento más elevada de todos los Estados Unidos. Anticipamos muchos años más de colaboración como socios en la empresa de ganar almas para el Reino de Dios. ¡Gracias!
1st A/G Taylor Texas
We were greatly blessed by the congregation of First Assembly of God in Taylor, Texas (near Austin) and their wonderful pastors Shane and Wendy Allen. First A/G in Taylor has faithfully supported our ministry for a number of years. We enjoyed the opportunity of sharing with the teenagers and juniors in Sunday School – a great investment in the future of the Kingdom. We especially appreciated the terrific spirit of worship and the generosity of the church in their offering to our missionary ministry in Spain. We sense that they are building a solid base for a great future in Taylor and the surrounding area. Their part of the county is one of the fastest growing populations in all the United States. We look forward to many years of continued partnership in winning lost souls for the Kingdom of God. Thank you!
Iglesia University Assembly of God, Waxahachie
Fue realmente maravillos poder volver a nuestra iglesa base de University Assembly of God en Waxahachie, Texas. Gracias Doctor John Wycoff por permitirme compartir en tu clase de Escuela Dominical en el auditorio. Que gran grupo de viejos amigos y memorias maravillosas. Esta fue la iglesia donde experimentamos un gran avivamiento Pentecostal en nuestra juventud cuando estuvimos en secundaria – avivamientos donde aprendimos interceder en oración y andar en lo sobrenatural con señales & prodigios, milagros de sanidad. Ese pequeño grupo de jóvenes produjo muchos pastores y misioneros de los cuales por lo menos 4 de nosotros estamos cerca o ya en nuestro 40 año de ministerio pastoral y/o misionero. Apreciamos todos los grandes hombres y mujeres de Dios que han servido a University A/G Church en el pasado y de modo constante la mantuvo entre las iglesias que más ofrendan a misiones en el North Texas District además de muchos ministerios alcanzando los cerca de casa. Estamos muy animados por la visión y dirección que nuestros nuevos pastores Mike Eddy y su hermosa esposa JaLayne y familia están dando a la iglesia. Nos alegra mucho ver la vuelta a la oración en los altares, orando por los enfermos, y permitiendo que el Espíritu Santo siempre tenga la libertad que Él necesita para mover en forma soberana entre y en la congregación. Desafortunadamente el cambio de hora, la lluvia, y tiempo de vacaciones de los universitarios se hizo notar en un bajón de asistencia – mas no afectó el espíritu en el culto y la receptividad de la gente.
Numerosos amigos en la congregación el domingo habían compartido con nosotros los tiempos extensivos de manifestaciones sobrenaturales y el mover singular del Espíritu Santo en el campus de Southwestern A/G University en los años de los 60. Maestros/profesores, pastores, administradores y gente láica dedicada cuyos corazones todavía se mueven por la obra de misiones y alcanzando a los perdidos.
Gracias University Assembly por ser nuestra iglesia “materna” tan maravillosa. Gracias por creer en nosotros u sostenernos con sus oraciones y sus ofrendas por 44 años!
University Assembly of God, Waxahachie, Tx
It was really great to be back at our home church of University Assembly of God in Waxahachie, Texas. Thank you Doctor John Wycoff for allowing me to share in your auditorium Sunday School class. What a great bunch of old friends and wonderful memories. This was the church where we experienced Holy Ghost revival back in our high school days – revivals where we learned to intercede in prayer and walk in the supernatural with signs & wonders, miracles of healing, visions and divine calling to the ministry and missions. That small youth group produced many pastors & missionaries of which at least 4 of us are nearing or in our 40th year of pastoral ministry and/or missionary service.
We appreciate all of the great men and women of God who have served University A/G Church in the past and consistently kept it one of the top missions giving churches in the North Texas District as well as numerous outreach ministries at home. We are very excited at the vision and direction which our new pastors Mike Eddy and his lovely wife JaLayne & family are giving the church. We love the return to the altars, prayer for the sick, and allowing the Holy Spirit the liberty that He needs to move in sovereign ways in and among the people. Unfortunately the change of hour, rain, and Spring Break took its toll on attendance but it did not change the spirit in the service and receptiveness of the people. Numerous friends in the congregation on Sunday had shared with us the extended times of supernatural manifestations and the outstanding moving of the Holy Spirit on Southwestern A/G University campus in the late 60’s. Teachers/professors, pastors, administrators and dedicated lay people whose hearts still throb for missions and reaching the lost!
Thank you University Assembly for being such a wonderful home church. Thanks for believing in us and supporting us with your prayers and finances for 44 years!
