Location of Phillip Campbell Prophecy Conference


Update: Received at 4:040pm 2008-05-16: "It will be at New Life For the Nations< 5095 Campbellsville Rd.Columbia.42728. Pastors Dr.Gerald & LaVerne Reliford. For more please call (270) 384-4913 or (270)384-3010" -PHILLIP CAMPBELL

Since posting the announcement about Phillip Campbell's Prophecy Conference we have received numerous calls about where it will be held. In but a little while, that, too, shall be made known unto you. Many of you have patience, but not Charles Miller. He wants to know everything, right now. He wrote about the Phillip Campbell Prophesy Conference:
"You have posted the times for the above titled event, but there is no location posted. Maybe we should just drive around, using four dollar gasoline until we find a gathering. Not really."
By and by, we are expecting a revelation about the meeting and we urge Charles Miller exhibit more of his wellknown virtue of patience in addition to his other many other great qualities of character, as others are doing. Our apologies for the wait. We thought it better that you know who, what, why, and when, seeing that there is ample time to learn the where at. It will be posted immediately upon learning the location.
