would go if it were at the church. He replied, “Well no one goes if it is at the church.” I was absolutely, incredulous. I tried to explain to him about the eight-hundred gorilla in the room but it did not reach him. My friends and I organized a prayer meeting for four weeks at the church, a simple hour to hour and half of praying. It was well announced.
