| MIRACLE VALLEY 1966 |
In 1966, a young Evangelist Dale Davis who had been with the Church of God, preaches an Afternoon Service at the Mid-Winter Camp Meeting held in the large tabernacle at Miracle Valley, Arizona.
Many individuals who worked with Rev. A. A. Allen in Miracle Valley actually had their roots in the Church of God with General Offices in Cleveland, TN.
Rev. C. S. Upthegrove served as Pastor of the great Miracle Valley Church. His background was with the Church of God.
Sister Jeanie Evans, that special lady who taught the subject of FAITH and who was in charge of Allen's POOL OF BETHESDA (a place at Miracle Valley where individuals came for their miracle or healing), had roots going back to the Azusa Street Revival, and was actually a State Evangelist for the Church of God (Cleveland, TN).
There were numerous others as well who were actually from the Church of God.
No doubt this was due to Allen's theology being more toward the Church of God instead of the Assemblies of God, especially in the realm of sanctification and holiness.
Dale Davis' preaching in this particular Camp Meeting service is exactly the type of evangelistic preaching that Dr. Harter proposes to be established in those students who graduate from Miracle Valley Bible College & Seminary, especially in his Department of Evangelism.
Davis' entire sermon is posted on YouTube in two parts; namely, Part 1 and Part 2. Click the link listed below to view the video.
