Still, the results of my Mother s ministry have lived on through many years. There were numerous times during the years I was growing up when we would meet someone who had heard Mom preach years before or had attended one of her revivals. They would comment about how much they had enjoyed that revival or how they had been saved during that meeting. And these folks, twenty years later, were still walking the walk. When Mom was preaching, God anointed her and He honored her efforts with results.
Mom relates that the most receptive state to the lady preachers was Illinois.
This was because of the ministry of two special ladies. Many churches were started in Illinois by Sis. Grace Cook and Sis. During the early days of Pentecost, they would hold revivals in a town and begin to build a church. One particular town even welcomed them and roped off the Town Square, allowing them to hold services in the middle of town.
