Times-Advocate, 1988-03-09, Page 30Page 14A Times -Advocate, March 9, 1988 Week-long crusade attracts large crowds The evangelistic crusade which packed the large auditorium at South Huron District High School for eight consecutive nights ended with a Sunday night service that at- tracted 700 people. Crowds during the week ranged from 400 to 600, and came from as far away as Strat- ford, Tavistock, Clinton and Park- hill. The crusade had been two months in the making, with 17 area church- es actively participating in both preparatory planning and supplying volunteers for counselling, trans- portation, and organization of the myriad details that contribute to a successful endeavor. Other local churches cooperated by announcing the crusade in their church bulle- tins, or displaying crusade litera- ture. Exeter Pentecostal Tabernacle pastor Don Rogers, chairman of the Exeter crusade, was impressed with the atmosphere generated by the event. Drawing on personal experi- ence as a participant in previous crusades with Dr. Barry Moore in Belleville and Windsor, Rogers used terms like "more excitement", "more anticipation", more enthu- siasm", "the crowd response was proportionately better" in reference to Exeter. The crusade also drew the Chris- tian community closer together, and blurred the denominational labels. "It was good for all of us to get together, and set aside our differenc- es", Roger said, adding that he has heard people comment that now when they walk down the street they know and rec9gnize fellow members of the family of God from other churches. Rev. Kevin Rutledge from Em- manuel Baptist Church in Exeter summarized the crusade as a very positive experience both for himself and the Christian community. "The crusade changed lives. Many made a first-time commitment to Jesus Christ. Others who had wan- dered away were restored to fellow- ship. Some individuals wanted to make a public declaration of their faith", Rutledge asserted. Rutledge trusts those who attend- ed will' 1. carry.. their renewed en- thusiasm back to their churches. Henry Van Essen, the minister at Bethel Reformed Church, singled out the singing of the interdenomi- national choir as one of the cru- sade's highlights. An average of 50 songsters each night blended their voices in joyful harmony. "Some had never been this close- ly involved with people of another denomination. They alt learned a lot •from each 'other. Drawing the Christian community together is important", Van Essen enthused. Dr. Moore's reaction was equally positive. "I wish all crusades were like the Exeter one", he said, citing the spir- it of oneness among the clergy, the unusual attentiveness and great sense of need to be challenged in those attending, and the congeniali- ty which made him feel at home. Dr. Moore has been conducting similar crusades across North Amer- ica and in many countries around the world since he left the class- i000m after eight years of teaching in 1953 to answer"the call of God". "I still have my first class teach- er's certificate", he confided. Moore and his crusade team will be heading for South Africa later this year. The crusade destinations are cho- sen at the London headquarters after invitations are received. A request for a crusade in Exeter was made by local leadership a year ago. In a reference to recent scandals involving some televangelists, Moore conceded "a lot of phoniness has gone on". He and his team strive to be the antithesis of all that. "We have lasted 28 years, and op - On your own is 4-H theme The third meeting of the Credi- ton five 4-H club was held Febru- ary 29, at Rosanne Dictrich's. The meeting, entitled "On Your Own..Financially", included such areas of concern as that of finding a place to live, at home preparations, the search, the lease, landlord/ tenant relations, rent reviews, utili- ties, choice of apartment, room- mates, and the Ontario Student As- sistance Program. Our newly acquired talents were soon put to use, as a newspaper ad for room and board was investigat- ed As part of this week's hortle activ- ities, we interviewed Irene Dietrich, sister to the host, to find out some of the problems and benefits asso- ciated with living on one's own or with friends./ As well, a tide page for our club was -chosen, entitles, "The Happy Financers". This was contributed by Kim Hoffman. The meeting was then concluded, and we enjoyed a snack of brownies/muffins and lem- onade. The next meeting will be held on Thursday, March 24, at 7 p.m. at Hoffman's. We hope to have a bank 1Ptler as our guest speaker at this meeting to help us better understand some of the financial jargon and what it represents to us. t erated in the black for 27. My name and my organization have never ap- peared in relation to abuse of funds", Moore said. There are no "love offerings" tak- en at a Barry Moore crusade. All ex- penses had been met by the time the Exeter crusade was underway. He and crusade director Jim Wilson are paid a monthly salary deter- mined by a board of directors. This also applies to music direc- tor Art Perry, a former nightclub entertainer and recipient of the fust Mario Lanza scholarship awarded by the famous singer's widow. During the week of the crusade, Perry sang and gave his testimony to 110 women who attended a morning coffee in the Pentecostal church. Asked what satisfaction Moore re- ceives from giving up the financial security of teaching for the peripa- tetic life of an evangelist, Moore re- plied "When I stand behind a podi- um, something electifying, challenging and stimulating hap- pens. God has entrusted to me and others the greatest message in the world, preparing people for eternity. An increasing number of people who have attended previous crusades come up to me later and thank me for preaching the gospel. It has changed their lives."
