THE VISION...
The Lord called me to pray for Stanton every morning while waiting for my irrigation lines to pressure up and water my crops on a hill over looking the town.
One morning as I prayed, a large white building with a bright red word on its side appeared to me. As I looked closer at the letters, they revealed the word Hosanna!. The builidng faced east and it was located on the Lamesa Highway. In addition to the word in bright red, it had a cross on the front of it and the brightness of its pure white color stood out in a commanding contrast from any other building and captured the attention of everyone who passed by..
I was awe struck with the vision of such a place and I questioned God about it. He told me that this would be a different kind of church with many calling. It would be a training center for equipping the saints: it would have outstanding evangelism and many other ministries coming forth as those who came here would be called by the Lord for a special outreach. Praise and worship would become a thing of beauty as we worshipped the Lord in Spirit and Truth. Yes, He assured me that He had chosen me to pastor the unusual fellowship by showing me such a vision.
I began to study the word "HOSANNA" and learned that this was the name given to Jesus as He triumphantly entered Jerusalem on Palm Sunday. It became a special word honoring Jesus as not only Savior, but Lord!

Luke 4:18-19
18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
