Brad, That's a great testimony for your old pastor in Texas. Not many big church pastors like that. As a Baptist, Jack Hyles was one of my favorite Baptist preachers. He traveled every week to Sword of the Lord conferences which John R Rice conducted. Sword conferences were generally Sunday through Wednesdays and Jack would fly in, preach three and four and five times Monday and then again on Tuesday and fly home. Other guest speakers preached on the other days along with John R Rice. Plus, Jack Hyles preached all over the United States at conferences, special meetings, and all sorts of things. Jack and John are both dead now but they were some preachers. Jack, however, just died a couple of years ago. He pastored a church of over 100,000 people and they would have pushes and would go over 130,000 at times. Yet, Hyles said he never ever missed a Sunday morning, Sunday night, or Wednesday night or a Thursday. thursday was their soul winning day and he never missed going out. He would take the red eye flights all the time just to get back to preach in his own church every single service. He was one of the greatest soul winners I ever heard of except for a friend of mine who lives in Montana now. Man, in his 50 years plus of ministry, that guy led people to Christ like the rapture was tomorrow or something. Anyhow, Hyles pastored in Hammond, Indiana just outside of Chicago.
