He has a beautiful building.
Actually, I've preached there a couple of times.
Did he start that church himself?

Yes. When he first started, they were in a tiny little building. The new church was built (and paid for) in the late 80's I think. When did you preach there?

Oh how I miss Louisiana. I was born in a little town in north central LA called Bastrop. I believe there are at least 3 or four churches of Pentecostal flavor there. Although the town had built up over the years, it is now in decline due to some paper mill shut downs.

Louisiana is one of those places I love to visit but loathe to live there. I did my penance living there for about six or seven years in the 70's and 80's.
It does have great food and great people though!

I have had some interesting commuincations today including a telephone call from some guy that used to be on the forum and went by NLYP.
Dan pointed out a couple of things to me in conversation. One is that Pastors Hennigan and Cardwell's are not a "half mile" apart. They are 1 1/2 blocks apart!!!!!
It is also my understanding that Pastor Cardwell and his church board are removing the church from the UPC without a vote at the church and are allowed to do so under church bylaws / rules. The church membership is having no say in the matter and is apparently causing some to drive either 1 1/2 blocks further or nearer to go to church.

Actually there are three UPC churches in DeQuincy. I happen to be at one of them Pentecostal House of Praise, pastored by David Kennon. Braneff is not UPC by any means. Then there are several UPC churches around DeQuincy...Smokey Cove, Oretta, Etc. It is very interesting to say the least. I moved here about 6 months ago. I've never seen anything like it. lol
Bro. Hennigan (UPC) is the largest, then Cardwell (UPC), then Braneff (not UPC), the PHOP (Kennon-UPC), and it goes from there.
