We forgot to post this photograph in our blog which featured an essay by Pastor Curtis Clair Ewing. This picture was snapped at a Bible Conference in the summer of 1967. Readers “just beginning to hit middle age” like me (LOL) might remember some of the names. The only ones I met personally were Pastor Robert Record, Robert Bell, and Pastor Sheldon Emry. I met Sheldon for the first time in 1978. He was a wonderful Bible teacher whom I considered my mentor.
To be clear, this “mentorship” was nothing formal, just that I learned much of the identity truth from him via his cassette tape ministry from the 70s and until his untimely death in 1985. Pastor Emry also ordained me as an elder (ca. 1980) along with a number of other young men scattered across the nation.
