Evangelist A. D. Dabbs, Jr.
“Come expecting a miracle from God. I will be praying for
the sick to be healed, the brokenhearted to be comfort-
ed, for financial needs to be met, broken homes to be put
back together, those that are bound by drugs to be deliv-
ered, and the jobless to find work. Jesus said, ‘All things
whatsoever you shall ask in prayer believing, you shall
receive' (Matt. 21:22). Again Jesus said, ‘All things are
possible to him that believeth’ (Mark 9:23). My friends
and brethren, have faith in God, come and let us pray
together and believe God for a miracle. For I am not
ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of
God unto salvation." —A. D. Dabbs, Jr.
