This is cute....One time in the states I spoke at a church that is very much against women but the pastor called me to speak and after church his little boy ran up to me and said, "Sister Alvear, you are the first woman that ever preached in our church.." He said it so loud everyone turned and looked at him...his daddy gave him that "shut up" look...I just smiled patted him on the head and said, Now isn't that nice....

I do not feel bad at people that do not believe in women in ministry...I am sorry that they miss out on such people as Bobby Wendell...so many rich experiences... and yes she is a lady...a blessed lady. Many will rise up in judgment and call her blessed for her sacrifice on a foreign shore...

I did look at the UPC lady speaker I do believe she believes what she said...
Not my style but we are all different...I guess I need more "life" when I get before a crowd.

The biggest difference would be not having to force traditions on members or by- laws, let God do the work on their hearts. But overall the biggest change of all has been a closer walk with Jesus, and peace. During our UPCI days we traveled a lot, preaching in different churches, this is very trying with small kids, babies. After we left the UPCI we set up our own church in Ogden UT, Apostolic Faith Ministers did that for four years, after that we became involved with a Bro from Canada and spent the next two years travailing all over the place, setting up our own churches in all 48 states and three overseas, Chine, Africa, Brazil, even Canada. These Churches are all still going , we are still very much apart of these. My husband is very private and many know him within the UPCI and outside it, so he has asked me not to give a lot details of some things. Sorry

She doesn't? lol! We were in a ladies meeting with her as one of the speakers. She was yelling so loud about getting up and worshipping that I wasn't sure that the women did it so she would stop yelling. lol!

Perhaps "old" is in the eye of the beholder...some of us have never heard this story...

Perhaps "yelling and screaming" are also in the eye of the beholder...one person's noise is another person's anointing anointing.
Everyone to their opinion and perception...

Personally, I don't go in for screaming...I don't think it's necessary.
I will say once again for those who missed my point earlier, that a voice raised in the heat of excitement and anointing is not what I am referring to.
This is just my humble, if not unwelcomed opinion...
