I preached for Kenon way back in the early and mid-eighties so he's been there a good while.
He's from Tennessee, I believe ... a rarity for that area in that he's not a native Louisianian.
Oh.
Don't forget Calvary; another indy church pastored now by Marvin Hicks in his sunset years.
My ex-father-in-law pastored Smokey Cove for many years.
Go on up the road from Oretta - pastored a long time by A. D. Spears' late father-in-law and Smokey Cove and you're in Singer.
Of course, when you get to Singer you are out of Section 4 and into Section 6 so maybe we've gone as far as we need to up Highway 27.
From DeQuincy on up to DeRidder and further north on that western edge of Louisiana along the Sabine River, it's a different world.
That part of the world was mostly Spanish territory and was not part of the original Louisiana purchase.
Drive just a few miles out of Sulphur north on Highway 27 and all of a sudden, you've left Cajun country far behind.
That's the truth!!!!! I'm afraid I never did quite fit in.
My sister lives in Sulphur...they go to Bro. Upton's church. Years ago, my parents attended Bro. Carl Ballestero's.

I've heard Master Wayne's radicalism has cost First UPC quite a few members.
I'm amazed at the names of some folks that had been members 50-plus years that are now attending Hennigan's.
I have to wonder what T. D. thinks about all this.
And ... as anyone can see from this discussion even if you are not familiar with the area ... there are plenty of places around for people to vote with their feet.

This is so true. You pointed out south and north, but east of DeQuincy there are a couple more Pentecostal churches between DQ and Kinder which is only 20 miles away.
about 15 years ago TFT told me there were 35 Apostolic churches of some veriety in Beauregard Parish. there are 35K people there.... I know of at least 4 that have started since that conversation!
a fellow in that area had best be careful. that is for sure.

I used to drive through David's BBQ in Dequincy and get one of those with a sweet tea.

Oh well, that's the way I see it!
