Comment:
From 1968-early 69 I worked with charles in the New Creatures where we played all over Californis and toured the midwestern states ministering where ever there was an opening. Because the church was afraid of the "Jesus Freaks" they had heard of we were not allowed in some churches, and were even told to leave and "Get that rock 'n roll Jesus music out of their church." As Charles Dickens wrote "It was the best of times, and the worse of times"...at times we went hungry when ever the last church we ministered in gave us just enough gas money to get to the next town. But it was a time of an intense closeness with God that i pray comes upon this next Jesus movement that is beginning now. I praise god for Charles, and the rest of the group of New Creatures. They were Steve Conaway-lead guitar, Roger Ford-drums, Me-Adrian Collins-Bass, and Charles on Rythm guitar. We were honored to get to minister to as little as two people, to thousands in great auditoriums. Charles and I ministered and witnesses all night to the crowd of Black Panthers, SDS (Neo-Nazis) and just plain folk that were outside the hospital when Bobby Kennedy was shot. Praise God for His letting us work in His harvest field. Knowing where Charles is, is a blessing to know that although I had a past relationsship whith Him as a fellow minister, and brother in Christ, but that he is also in my future. ....See ya soon Charles
