Little Rock, another great city along the Bible Belt, was the 20th
stop of the 51-day, 47-city "We Will Stand" tour of America.
Over 700 people gathered at the Robinson Center Music Hall.
The original church hosting the event cancelled with about one
week before the scheduled arrival of this crusade for reconciliation
and revival. This left the organizing committee in a completely
impossible situation, but a hall was secured at the last moment.

One pastor who received one of 80,00 leaflets handed out prior
to the event by volunteers was Reverend Della Rosa. He was curious
when he saw that it was affiliated with Father Moon and decided
to come. He was so amazed to find a preacher who taught that the
fall of Adam and Eve was the misuse of love.
" He is the first preacher I ever met that had this revelation
about the fall. For years this is what I believed and yet I never
could find any support for this. I wish Reverend Moon would have
never stopped talking. I heard that he has 400 volumes of speeches.
I need those speeches. Where can I get those?."
The sole local speaker at the event was the Rev. Charles E. Williams
of Greater Paradise Baptist Church. He gave the invocation.
Reverend Wendell Blair a founding member of theAmerican Clergy
Leadership Conference from Dallas was truly inspired and stood up
firmly.
"They labeled all the great religious leaders in history.
Jesus himself was considered a cult leader. They called Reverend
Moon a cult leader. I'm here to tell you that I can see the fruits
of this ministry. This is no cult. This is the work of God ! I want
to ask all of the clergy here to join the American Clergy Leadership
Conference. Let us come forward now to move this nation !"

"Reverend Moon is teaching and preaching for the true God,
true parents and true love," Blair said. "This ministry
is all about interrelationships and interdenominations."
"This is a ministry of all Christian people coming together,"
said the Reverend Michael Jenkins, president of the Family Federation
for World Peace and Unification (FFWPU). Reverend Jenkins and Reverend
Blair were speaking of the American Clergy Leadership Conference,
which was founded by Father Moon in May and includes "12,000
pastors from across America," according to Reverend Jenkins.
When two local gospel acts did not show up, the Reverend Blair
led the gathering in an a cappella version of "This Little
Light of Mine" accompanied by hand clapping, and then a gospel
tune, accompanied by a Hammond organ and drums.
One of the most famous choirs in the country -- the Mississippi
Mass Choir performed after the keynote address of Father Moon.

Bishop Cody Smith gave a short sermon and it was then all in attendance
knew that the Holy Spirit was moving in a mighty way. After just
three words the whole audience was to it's feet crying out.
Praise the lord !
Some are sticking their toes in the water. A few are jumping in.
The water is fine.
