Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. My name is Samuel Dale, Pastor of Spoken Word Church located in Lula, Georgia, about ten miles northeast of Gainesville Georgia. I was born and raised here in Georgia near the small town of Gillsville. My wife, Peggy Ann, and I were married on August 7th 1958, and have been happily married for forty-five years. We have three children, two boys and one girl, both the boys are deacons and one is also a minister in the church. My son-in-law and daughter are the youth directors in the church; we also have four wonderful grandchildren, three boys and one girl.
I first heard of the end-time message in 1966 and began to study it. We left the Baptist church in 1967 and began to follow what we call the message of the hour that was brought to us by God’s prophet to fulfill the bible of Malachi chapter four which is William Marrion Branham.
In 1969 in a small church in Athens, Georgia I received the baptism of the Holy Ghost, the new birth, and some two years later I was called into the ministry. The church was established on July 4th, 1971 by Brother Earnest Mote and I, Brother Mote was the pastor and I was the assistant pastor. In 1975 Brother Mote resigned as pastor and I took over the church.
Besides pastoring a wonderful group of people, by the help of the Lord I have been able to make seven trips to Jamaica, and one to Ireland to preach the gospel to others that are of the flock of God. Our church helps to support some of the churches in Jamaica and also Brother Jeevan Prakash Kotha in India to spread the gospel. There has been many signs and wonders taken place here in the church in Lula, and it would take many books to tell of the things that we have seen of how the Lord has worked among us and the third pull has definitely been with us and active among us.
I believe in the five-fold ministry of the end time, and I know for a surety that God is working among the bride by the way of a five-fold ministry. God is now working among the ministry to bring a bride to perfection, which is completion or full age, and getting us ready for the change of the body and for rapture. I believe the end time message has all we need to be able to direct us though the rapture and on to the millennium and to the future home. We here at Lula have no Law but Love, no Creed but Christ, no Book but the Bible.
Your Brother in Christ…
Brother Samuel Dale
