I am so thankful to have had the opportunity to view this video! My grandparents both received the Holy Ghost at the campground. About 10 years ago, I was finally able to see this historic place for myself. I was in awe, because I remember all the stories my grandmother told me about this place and I was FINALLY able to get there to see it in person. My husband and I also visited Bro Sowder's grave. I felt as though I was standing on hallowed ground....so peaceful there! God Bless
I was just up there last week for their campmeeting. I was moved and really felt a sense of the history and spirit of the place. I'm not a Gospel Assembly member, but I sure do love the people I had the priviledge of hanging around. I even got to play a little bluegrass with some people from Cisco, Tx. and Alton, Illinois. It's a wonderful life, and a small world we live in. God bless these sweet people.
I remember, as a young boy, my great grandfather, grandfather and other family members talking about the "campground" and the many summers they spent there constructing those small buildings. It brought back sweet memories. Thanks for the posting!
