Dear Fellow Pastor:

My first reaction to Dr. Fox's letter was to trash it; however, he made a statement that grabbed my attention. He said, "The Holy Spirit is leading us to be in concert with you at McMinnville First Church Of God.". I stopped, reread, thought introspectively and concluded, "If the Holy Spirit is leading Dr. Fox, I must not get in God's way." And sure enough, the Holy Spirit was leading - because we had an old-fashioned, Holy Spirit time in the Lord.

The Fox Family was unlike anything we had experienced previously. We expected a gospel singing, but instead we were subjected to a ministry that went further than song. It became a thought provoking time for many of us - at a time when we begin to get answers to our own needs. It was a time of renewal, commitment and rededication as people begin to come to the altar weeping before God.

I guess a press release best sums it up, "The music of the Fox Family defies categorization except to say it's God's music."

Your Brother-in Christ,

Rex Boles
