Newbie Seeking info. on Chester Arthur Hensleyy

Hi, I just joined the forum (Please see my intro. in Welcome Mat as to why I am here for fellowship.).

I was in a meeting led by an evangelist/prophet who was mentored by Chester Arthur Hensley for three-and-a-half-years (I am thinking the last three years of Chester's life-and even prophesied his death several months before he died. This is the story I was told).

In this meeting, I received a POWERFUL touch from God that has positively affected my life. I know there was great controversy surrounding Chester's life (Only from reading the post here-it was through Googling his name that I found this site. It was the ONLY info. I could find.), but also a lot of rumor and speculation.

I am trying to contact those who may have known Chester (including his grandson, if he is still on here). I understand there was a lady who used to take notes and record all of his sermons. If she is still living, I would love to contact her as well.

I don't even know if the church he pastored still exists or where it is (Besides TX).

I am trying to locate information on him-and especially any audio or notes that may be available.

Feel free to PM or e-mail me: LookingUntoJesusHeb122@yahoo.com. If you prefer to talk via phone, I can call you, if you PM your number. I have unlimited on my cell.

Blessings!

RevRyan,

I remember Chester showing up at the UPC Louisiana campmeeting in the early to mid 1970's in a black Cadillac limosine with one of his church members acting as his chauffer complete with dark suit and chauffers cap! He made quite the entrance.

You have to admire a man who has his church convinced his corpse is going to raise up from the dead like Jesus did!

Same at the Texas campmeeting. Then during alter service he would go up on stage and have his men bring people that the called out up on stage and pray for them.

I do not recall that I have ever heard of him before.

I certainly never had, but, if this evangelist is some of the fruit of his ministry, I am impressed.
He had a good word, prophesied accurately, and, while bold, also ministered in love.
