We got some tracts in the mail from Joel Hemphill...the title is "Can You Face Reality? Biblical Facts Concerning the Lord God and His Son Jesus Christ"
Who is Joel Hemphill? Is he on tv? Does he have a Pentecostal background? I've heard of some singers the Hemphills...are they related?
Joel Hemphill's father was a Pentecostal Icon in North Louisiana. My father was preaching a tent meeting close by and the whole Goodman clan was with Dad, Labreeska who was Vestal's niece fell in love with Joel BUT the Goodmans were Church of God however Labreeska got baptized she wanted her man. Joel pastored at Bastrop for a season and built a new church building there. It was there him and LaBreeska started singing and making records bothe are song writers. They were very successful in the Gospel Music industry. Sadly anong the way they lost their way the last time I saw Joel he told me he was pastoring a 'Spirit Filled Baptist Church' that was about 12 years ago. Joel has battled cancer on and off for about 15 years.
They are some of the nicest folks you could ever know it is so sad they have ended up this way.
What was their daughters name? As I recall she was about my agent and if memory serves me correct pretty and talented.
What happened to her? Does she still sing?
Candy Hemphill I forget who she married unless it has changed all of them live in your area. The boys Trent and Joey own a bus conversion company on Goodletsville Rd. Very successsful business. They are fine men they have their parents personality. I do think Cany yet sings some. Remember the song "I came on business for the King?"

Candy's last name now is Christmas. I will always remember that because it makes me laugh every time she's introduced in a Gaither Series Video. They introduce her as "Candy Hemphill Christmas"
