Alexander County

I think I've shared on here before, but I'll share it again briefly, just two minutes.

Um, there was a, uh- Uh, a, a revival, youth revival in Alexander County years ago before I even came to the county, and a good friend of mine, uh, an evangelist, I won't mention his name, but an evangelist was getting up and he was preaching, and he was giving the invitation.
