From one of the distributed papers for publicity, "1996 PACAF WIDE GOSPEL MUSIC WORKSHOP 3 - 8 JUNE 1996 Yokota Air Force Base, Japan, Theme: 'One Voice United In Praise!' Facilitators: Evangelist Barbara Ward-Farmer and Byron Ward"

It has been almost nine years since the paper for publicity quoted above was distributed. And for fear of being an outdated information, I sought and received confirmation from Church of the Living God on the 11th of April, 2005. I am most grateful to the kindness of House of God, Church of the Living God, Pillar and Ground of the Truth. (April 11, 2005)

"... While you were coming, the Lord let me know that some of us speak some English or no English but can make a bilingual recommitment to God. ... You know about the Word, you have heard the Word. ... If there is someone in here who loves singing but is still a backslider and going the wrong way, the Lord wants you to reach out and embrace Him again because He loves you. ... Don't worry about who knows or who doesn't know you, because I'm trying to help you today. He says He knows you're a backslider and He loves you. ... Don't worry about who's looking at you, you're the one who's going to stand before God, you're the one who will stand before God. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. That's right, that's right, that's right, ..."
[In the text above, "..." is used in the same sense as "(snip)."]
