IN ABOUT 1955, EVANGELIST JACK COE, CAME FROM DALLAS, TEXAS AND HELD A LARGE CITY WIDE HEALING REVIVAL AT THE MET.
THE POWER OF GOD WAS SO UNIQUE, THAT THOUSANDS WERE SAVED AND HEALED IN THE 2 SERVICES DAILY! OFTEN, THE
CROWDS WOULD GEATHER FOR THE NIGHT SERVICE, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY… AND THE FIRE DEPT WOULD SHUT THE DOORS,
AS THE BUILDING WAS ALREADY FULL TO CAPACITY!
DURING THAT REVIVAL, I WAS 14 YRS. OF AGE AND ATTENDING BRO. COE’S CHRISTIAN SCHOOL IN DALLAS. HE HAD PRAIED OVER MY HANDS, TO PLAY HEALING MUSIC TO THE NATIONS, WHEN I WAS 13! GOD GAVE ME A MIRACLE AND IN 4 WEEKS, I WAS PLAYING FOR
HIS CHURCH. LATER (ASSSITING HIS CRUSADE ORGANIST JIMMY ARNOLD) UNDER THE BIG TENT IN WASH. DC, WHERE THE CROWDS
GREW TO OVER 20,000 PEOPLE!
AS HE WAS FINISHING HIS CRUSADE AT THE MET, HE CALLED MY FATHER (EVANG. BUFORD DOWELL SR)WHO WAS THEN PREACHING
IN HIS 12TH WEEK OF REVIVAL IN DALLAS, AND ASK HIM TO COME TO PHILA AND TAKE OVER THE MET, AND CONTINUE THE REVIVAL
THERE!
MY FATHER PRAYED ABOUT IT AND FELT IT WAS NOT GODS WILL FOR HIM TO PASTOR IN PHILA.
REV. COE THEN INVITED DR. THEA JONES TO COME TO THE MET AND HE WAS THE DIRECTOR AND PASTOR, PRIOR TO THE PRESENT
MINISTY THERE!
LATER IN ABOUT 59, I CAME TO THE MET AS THE CHURCH ORGANIST FOR DR. JONES AND ALSO FOR HIS NEW YORK CHURCH.
THOSE WE’RE MIGHTY DAYS OF REVIVAL AND MANY WE’RE HEALED BY THE POWER OF GOD.
ONE OF MY BEST JOYS, WAS WHEN THE MET WOULD HAVE GOSPEL SINGING CONCERTS ON SAT. NIGHT!
MY APT, WAS OFF THE STAGE AND I THEN MET AND WAS ASKED TO PLAY THE ORGAN FOR CLARA WARD, THE CARAVANS, SAM COOK
AND THE SOUL STIRRERS, AND SEVERAL OTHERS.
I WAS THE ONLY WHITE BOY THEIR, BUT MY LORD .. DID WE HAVE A GOOD TIME!
IT HELPED SHAPED MY OWN MUSIC STYLE, TO PLAY “HOLY GHOST, CAMPMEET'N, REVIVAL STYLE MUSIC!
OVER 35 YRS, I HAVE TRAVELED 54 NATIONS (OVER 4,000,000 MILES) WITH JACK COE, WILLIAM BRANHAM, A A ALLEN, R W SHAMBACH, MORRIS CERULLO, JOHN H. OSTEEN, AND MOST OF THE FAMOUS HEALING MINISTRIES…. IN THE WORLDS LARGEST GIANT TENT
CRUSADES IN AMERICA!
GOD HAS BLESSED US TO CONDUCT SOME 119 INTERNATIONAL MISSIONARY CRUSADES AND LEED MULTITUDES TO CHRIST!
PHILIDELPHIA… GET READY! GOD SAVES THE BEST WINE FOR THE LAST…AND A MIGHTY HOLY GHOST OUT POURING IS GOING TO FALL
ON PHILIDELIPHA, LIKE RAIN OUT OF HEAVEN!
GOD WILL SHAKE YOUR CITY (AND MANY OTHERS) WITH HIS MIGHTY END TIME VISITATION …. UNTIL PEOPLE MOVE TO PHILY, BECAUSE
OF THE POWER OF GOD THERE!!
HE WANTS TO USE YOU! HE HAS A DESTINY FOR YOUR LIFE, WILL YOU LET HIM TAKE OVER CONTROLL??
THE S.F. YORK THEATER WAS FOR ABOUT 1 YR, “THE YORK REVIVAL CENTER”,
WHEN MY LATE FATHER AND I, HAD A CHURCH-REVIVAL THERE, IN APROSIMENTLY 1965 OR SO.
IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL PLACE AND MANY CAME TO KNOW JESUS CHRIST…
AS A PERSONAL SAVIOR!
MY WHAT A GREAT PART OF AMERICIAN THEATER AND MUSIC HISTORY!
WITH JUST A “LITTLE BIT” OF SADNESS IN MY HEART… I’LL SHARE
THAT THE FOX PROPERTY WAS ALMOST DONATED TO MY NON-PROFIT,
CHRISTIAN ORGANIZATION … SOME YEARS AGO. (BEFORE ITS PRESENT
OWNER AND REFERBASHING PROJECT)
WITH GREAT JOY, TIME HAS PROVEN;“THAT IT WAS NOT GOD’S PLAN (FOR
MY LIFE,NOR FOR THE THEATERS FUTURE)
WITH PEACE.. I CAN TRUELY “GIVE HIM THINKS”.. FOR GUIDING MY
STEPS AND PREVENTING MY LIFE FROM MAKING A “WRONG TURN”…
THAT LOOKED VERY LUCRATIVE (FOR OUR INTERNATIONAL MINISTRY
AND MISSIONARY OUTEACHES).. BUT BEST FOR THE FATHERS DIVINE
WILL TO BE ACCOMPLISHED IN OUR LIFES!
TO GOD BE THE GLORY!
WHEN WE STAND BEFORE THE FATHER… THE ONLY THING THAT WILL
HAVE ANY VALUE…“IN HOW MANY OTEHRS WE BROUGHT TO HEAVEN
WITH US!
“JUST ONE LIFE…TWILL SOON BE LOST;
ONLY WHATS' DONE FOR CHRIST… WILL LAST! ”
*IN 1953, WHEN EVANGELIST EARL IVIE OWNED THE CINN, SHUBERT, …
MY FATHER (EVANG. BUFORD DOWELL SR AND OUR REVIVAL TEAM OF SINGERS
AND MUSICIANS) CAME TO THE SHUBERT THEATER …“REVIVAL TEMPLE”,
AS HIS CO-EVANGELIST!
THEY WE’RE BOTH PENTECOSTAL-PREACHERS AND GREAT MEN OF FAITH!
MULTITUDES CAME TO CHRIST…DURING THAT GREAT CRUSADE!
THOUSANDS WE’RE MIRACULOUSLY HEALED .. THRU THE PRAYER OF FAITH!
5 GREAT POWERFUL SERVICES DAILY! NATIONAL RADIO-DAILY! GREATEST GOSPEL MUSIC! FRI-NIGHT WAS ALL NIGHT “MIRACLE NIGHT!”
DURING HIS OWNERSHIP, REV. IVIE COMPLETE PAINTED THE INSIDE
AND OUTSIDE OF THE SHUBERT…WHITE AND GOLD! IT WAS TRUELY
BEAUTIFUL!
*THERE’S NOTHING LIKE THOSE GREAT OLD THEATER PALACES, FOR A
WONDERFUL “CHURCH AUDITORIUM!”
TO-RICHARD!
