- On "Alabama Gospel Roots" and Lovestock 2023, we are so honored.
You've seen this gentleman before.
We're mighty glad to have him with us in this outdoor open space, under the heavens, with the sun shining through.
Look like the sun came out soon as you stepped up, sir.
- Praise God.
- All right.
- Praise God.
- Bishop Alan Kendrick, pastor of Oasis of Praise church.
(crowds faintly cheering) You brought your fan club with you, I see.
- I brought some of 'em.
- Some of 'em.
(laughs) - Amen.
- Has the check cleared yet?
They're screaming like they got the check.
- Ah, I don't know.
They better wrote one.
(George and Pastor Alan Kendrick laugh) - Listen, let's say before we get started, you are celebrating something?
- I am.
- And it's been 38 years.
So, tell us a little bit about it.
- Well, actually it's been 40.
- 40?
Okay.
- Today, 40 years ago, my wife and I began pastoring.
At that time, it was a church called Shades Valley.
But today, it's called Oasis of Praise.
And she and I celebrate our 40th anniversary today as the lead pastors of that wonderful church.
God's been good to us, brother George.
- Congratulations.
Now, Oasis of Praise is growing by leaps and bounds.
And as we look out on Lovestock 2023, you could see some brown faces, some dark brown faces, some lighter color faces.
- Amen.
- I wanna make sure I got that right.
I ain't wanna say that wrong.
- Yeah, yeah.
- Okay.
- Amen.
- Don't start, up on this hill.
- Don't do nothing.
- I can't run through that water.
- No.
Amen.
- But that same thing is happening at Oasis of Praise.
- Oh, yes, yes.
- Tell us a little bit about that.
- Well, it goes a long way back.
Goes back actually to 1976 at an Alabama count meeting, when I was given a prophecy that in my last days, I would minister to God's Black people.
- Ain't there Black people out here?
(people faintly cheering) - And it wouldn't be a few.
And Brother George was with me a couple of weeks ago when that prophetic word was fulfilled at Pastor or Apostle Anthony Greer, at his conference.
I preached there and I don't have time to share the whole story.
But two of the people, a brother and sister, Ricky Witherspoon, his sister Hiawatha, they were the two people that in high school, transitioned me from being a racist to loving Black people.
That was before I got saved.
In '76, I got saved, but I'd already been transformed by the power of God, through Ricky Witherspoon.
And when I got to the conference that night, I did not know that Ricky Witherspoon was singing at the conference, and his sister Hiawatha was helping coordinate it.
So, there I was, and I was about a quarter of a mile from the place where God gave me the prophecy.
It was 47 years ago that God gave me that prophetic word that was fulfilled two weeks ago.
Lovestock is today.
This is a continuation of what God told me 47 years ago, is happening at Oasis.
God is bringing His people together.
Amen.
We are His people.
- [Crowds] Yeah!
- We are God's people.
- [Crowds] Yeah!
- We are God's people.
- [Crowds] Yeah!
- We all serve the same God.
- [Crowds] Yeah!
- Hallelujah!
- Hallelujah!
All right, well listen, we're gonna get ready to move fast, but we wanna thank you and Oasis of Praise for supporting this with your people coming out as volunteers, financially, prayerfully, and all those things.
So we salute you and Sister Gay, and the Oasis of Praise Church family.
One more time, put your hands together out there.
All right.
It is Lovestock 2023.
You know that by now, we are thankful for all our sponsors, Pepsi Cola.
Listen, and Oasis of Praise Church, and so many more.
We're gonna get the names and roll 'em off to you.
But right now, speaking of Oasis of Praise, let's go to the main stage, and bring to you an awesome group of people.
The Oasis of Praise choir.
- Hallelujah.
