Day  1 – Friday September 25th, 2009

This year’s E Group Meeting started with a trip to Azusa Street in Los Angeles, CA. After meeting at the Hope Center, we headed to downtown LA where Azusa Street Revival have been sparked.

Our first stop was at Edward S. Lee’s house where William J. Seymour held prayer and Bible study meetings. Unfortunately the house was not preserved so we were not able to see this historic place. From there we headed to Bonnie Brea House in which this early Apostolic movement in our modern history started to experience growth and have church services and people started to receive the the gift of the Holy Ghost. Today the house on 214 North Bonnie Brae Street, Los Angeles, CA is preserved as a private museum. Next stop is the 312 Azusa Street, Los Angeles. In this location stood the Apostolic Faith Mission Church led by Rev. William J. Seymour where hundreds and thousands of people experienced and received the gift of the Holy Ghost.

We have concluded the Azusa Street revival tour after visiting the Rev. William J. Seymour’s grave and the  Apostolic Faith Mission camp site.

E Group’s fist session of meetings started on Friday evening at Hope Center, Redlands, CA. Rev. B.J. Wilmoth after making his introductory comments has asked us introduce ourselves. Following the introductions we have started a fervent prayer session.

After Rev. B.J. Wilmoth’s preaching, the Spirit of God moved on all of us. We had more fervent prayer following the preaching. The next speaker of the night was Rev. Myles Young. His message on the word of God have resonated in our minds as well as our spirits. After the prayer and the alter service we were dismissed for dinner and fellowship.

Very hospitable and gracious people of Hope Center have already prepared us a delicious dinner and organized the fellowship hall for all of us young men to eat and fellowship. It was a perfect setting and many of us have created new friendships.

Day  2 – Saturday  September 26th, 2009

In the morning on Saturday our day sessions started with a prayer and getting in tune with God.  Rev. Jonathan Shoemake preached to us on the important and necessity of prayer as well as what a young minister ought to do. Prayer broke after the preaching and rejuvenated us.

Rev. Kevin Bradford preached the closing message of the E Group 2009 meeting. After the prayer and the alter service we were invited to have lunch at the fellowship hall. Following the lunch and fellowship the Question and Answer Panel Discussion took place. The panel of great Men in our Apostolic Movement, Rev. B.J. Wilmoth,  Rev. Jonathan Shoemake, Rev. Kevin Bradford and Rev. Clifford Clark and moderator Rev. Myles Young have answered our questions and shared their experiences in ministering the word of God.

With this it marked the end of the 2009 E Group Meeting. This year’s meeting was an educational and spiritual uplift to many young men who are inspired to minister the word of God in many capacities. Looking forward to the next E Group Meeting in 2010.
