Dr. Richard E. Anderson celebrated his 70th year of full time, faithful Pentecostal preaching ministry on Sunday, September 6, 2009 at Christian Life Center in Riverside, CA.Countless lives have been touched by this General in the Kingdom of Jesus Christ which included pastoral ministry at Faith Tabernacle Church, School of Bible Theology Seminary & University, the fellowship of churches he leads as the Pentecostal Assemblies of God of America and Transworld Accrediting Commission International.
Dr. Anderson preached right where he started on Labor Day Sunday, 1939, in the Arlington Foursquare Mission Foursquare, with Sister Johnson, which later became the Arlington Foursquare Church (Christian Life Center).That first sermon, approximately 17 minutes long, was taken from John 9:7 “And Jesus said unto him, ‘Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing.’” The sermon had three points: He Went, He Washed, He Came Seeing. After that sermon a man who was blind, crawled to the front, was prayed for, and left the service seeing and healed! And many were saved as well!
Congratulations Dr. Anderson! We pray many more years of service to the King.
