Update 11/30/07 - Evel Knievel dies at 69.
**
This is one of the most moving services I have ever seen. It makes available to everyone the telecast at which Evel Knievel testified of his newfound faith in Jesus Christ. I don't speak often of the "presence of the Holy Spirit" in a church service, but when I first saw this program on television some months ago (4/22/07), I recognized at once how extraordinary it was. The presence of the Spirit is powerfully evident as streams of people come forward after Evel's testimony to profess faith in Christ and be baptized. If you watch this video, you will see that there was no manipulation, just an amazing moving of the Spirit of God.
I suggest you not only watch Evel Knievel's testimony, but then click the little picture below to see everyday, ordinary people, coming forward to profess faith in Christ and be baptized. What's so extraordinary about all this, is that it takes place in the Crystal Cathedral in California, a place where such things are anything but routine, to say the least. Finally, click the picture of Dorothy Benham (Miss America, 1977) to see and hear an energetic, magnificent solo of "Ride On, King Jesus." This, too, is extraordinary! What a video!
