Dr. Gene Scott - God's Angry Man
He Will Not Be
Forgotten By The Saints He Made Aware - God Speed DOC!
12/15/2022 Update
Historically
According to the "Wayback
Machine" GodsAngryMan.com (GAM)
made it's debut on June 2, 2006. It underwent a major overhaul
in 2008,
shortly after I left Melissa Scott's church. I updated it one
more time
in 2013 after re-visiting Doc's tomb.
For the past (nearly) 17 years, GAM stood as a testimony
to my account of the goings on at the end of Doc's ministry
and the following year+ under the stewardship of Mrs. Scott.
I think all who wanted answers found GAM by now.
I heard from many Doc fans over the years. Sorry if I never
replied.
I always felt I left it all on the table. Still do.
Presently
Time to let
sleeping DOC lie.
I hibernated ALL discontent regarding the past.
Left only the accounts of my personal relationship with
Doc, and the opinions I had at the time.
Things changed.
----->I also added MANY new offerings.<-----
I loved Dr. Scott, but I
moved on. Like 15 years ago.
The writing on the wall was obvious to me.
God silenced Doc.
NO ONE ELSE.
Why Now? Because there's not much time left before we see
our Lord Jesus Christ coming in the clouds. And I've got some serious disciple-ing
to do before he does!
Seen on Quora many
years ago,
I thought it was a great synopsis.
original post
What was it like to be a follower
of Dr. Gene Scott in the 1980s?
L. Singleton

Dr. Scott was probably one of the top three finest Bible
Teachers and theologians of the last two hundred years.
When he arrived at Faith Center in Glendale in the mid
1970’s, he went on the radio (99.5) in Los Angeles and
on Channel 30. He was on 24 hours a day.
Dr. Scott brought stunning Bible teaching and introduced
an on-air participative communion series that was
overwhelming. And then, there were the ‘Festivals of
Faith” where ‘Doc’ --on camera-- would sit and read and
teach--- his phrase, “Get on the telephone’ was a
clarion call to call one of the ‘ Kings Houses’ who
staffed the toll-free telephone--1.800-338.3030. The
signature song was, “I want to know.’
Doc would have ‘Festivals’ a few nights a week from the
building in Glendale, California that would become known
as ‘Kings House 2.’
The Sunday Services were called, “Sunday at the King’s
House.”
And, the Festivals of Faith introduced teaching on ‘The
Lost Tribes,” “Pyramids,” and ‘Demonology,’ to name a
few. He was on television in Los Angeles, San Francisco
and Channel 18 in Hartford, Connecticut. When the TV
contract wasn’t renewed, Doc went onto Westar 5. This
was the ministry’s first foray into satellite
television. The ministry changed from that point and
also moved into Shortwave Broadcasts and the Caribbean
Beacon (radio) from the island of Anguilla. Doc would
say that his voice was the only voice ‘ever heard 24
hours a day on every square inch of the globe.’ Famous
prophet Clara Grace said that Doc’s voice, in the ‘last
days’ would be a important compass point.’
Dr. Scott’s ‘Basic Christianity series and the
‘verse-by-verse’ teaching through Hebrews became some of
the signature teaching elements of the 1980s.
He made FAITH the center point of his ministry,
presenting the A-B-C’s of Faith. Faith is ACTION, based
on BELIEF, sustained by CONFIDENCE. He often said his
goal was to showthe preeminence of God’s word.
Doc showed horses, hats, cigars and the famous ‘Belles
of St. Gene.” He also found the huge ‘JESUS SAVES’ neon
signs that used to be above the Hope Street church in
downtown Los Angeles. He saved the signs telling us that
when those signs went out, and the last Protestant
church left downtown Los Angeles, a ‘light would be gone
from the city.” Those signs were visible from far and
near on clear nights in Los Angeles. I believe there
were designated as a historical landmark.
On
February 21, 2005 the world lost the 2nd
Greatest Christian Teacher ever commissioned and given by God.
There's no doubt God empowered Dr. Gene Scott to unfold and restore the
age old mystery of what Luther called
"Sola Fide"
or Faith Alone, and to fulfill the Greatest
Commission since Jesus walked the Earth. The commission? Taking that
Good News of the Gospel
(Faith Alone) to every corner of the Globe
that the whole world would know Him who they denied or embraced. This
task was a prophecy written in the book of Romans.
Rom 10:10-18
For with the heart man believeth unto
righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For
the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him (Jesus) shall not be
ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for
the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For
whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord Jesus Christ shall be
saved.
How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how
shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall
they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach, except they be
sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach
the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
But, they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who
hath believed our report? So then faith [cometh] by hearing, and hearing
by the word of God. But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their
sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the
world....
The late Dr. Gene Scott came
to television in the mid-seventies after being voted in by the desperate
church board members to save
FAITH BROADCASTING NETWORK, (The world's first television ministry)
from corruption and bankruptcy. It wasn't long before he had fired and
"Kicked the Mutha's out". including the likes of Paul & Jan Crouch and
Jim & Tammy Baker! Then God
Took Dr. Gene Scott and the message of "Saved by Grace, Kept by Faith"
WORLDWIDE! (Worldwide means every square inch of the planet, 24/7/365.
No other person or broadcaster can make this claim)
Like it or lump it,
love him or hate him,
Dr. Gene Scott's is the ONLY voice to have
penetrated the
ENTIRE SURFACE OF THE GLOBE with the message of
Jesus Saves!
Joseph Cortes Saving Dr.
Scott's Legacy Through
Teaching Faith!
Pastor Joseph A. Cortes has been
rightly dividing the word of God
since November 2005 when Faith
Cometh By Hearing, a
non-denominational ministry, was
founded. Pastor Cortes spent 30
years under the ministry of the
great theologian Dr. Gene Scott, in
which 10 of those years he became
Dr. Scott’s personal assistant in
all areas of the ministry where he
was instrumental in spreading Dr.
Scott’s ministry and message across
the United States. He is now
preaching and teaching God’s word at
Faith Cometh By Hearing ministries
to a worldwide listening audience
that seeks a stronger relationship
with Christ than what is provided in
most religious environments.
This ministry focuses on equipping
the saints with the word of God,
which for the most part has been
voided and replaced by religious
traditions. We believe that such
traditions only produce
Professing Christians
instead of Faithing Christians,
ones who develop a Faith warrior
purpose. If you want to be a serious
disciple of Christ, then we
encourage you to keep listening and
watching.
Addison's opinion
about Joe Cortes:
First I have to tell
you some sobering news. Dr. Scott's
voice was silenced, and for good
reason. Don't doubt God knows what
He is doing. HE (God) took Doc away
from us. Could be because Doc
stumbled and lost focus, and God
knew Doc would cause more harm than
good to the message of the gospel,
or that Doc's time was up and God
wanted to raise up a new voice. I
think it's a combination of both.
WITHOUT A DOUBT Dr. Scott is to be
honored as a great man of faith.
Here's the good news:
The person who should have gotten
the keys? Well God gave him a new
car to continue what Doc started.
His name is Joe Cortes. Do yourself
a great favor and confirm what I'm
saying for yourself. Go to his
website at
www.teachingfaith.com Go
immediately to the archives and
start watching the series entitled
"Last Days". Start with the first
and make your way in sequence
through all the messages. I can
predict you will recognize the
voice, and you might begin to
understand why Dr. Scott was
silenced.
It's a hard pill to swallow by those of
us who fought in the trenches as Dr. Gene Scott took the Good News
of the Gospel to the world, that Doc would stumble at the end of his
ministry. Though he said many times to us that he was capable of
doing just that. I do believe God's everlasting arms caught him,
took him home, and left us with a hard lesson to learn as we all go
forward to our own end.
Dr. Scott's anointing made him a lonely
man all his life (Watch the film God's Angry Man below to hear him
admit this), in the end, maybe his loneliness got the better of him.
When
I got the call to start my Pastoral Internship with Dr.
Scott I was assigned to work at the Sunset Ridge
broadcast station located at the top of one of the local
San Bernardino mountains. This meant being driven up in
a four wheel drive vehicle and dropped off with one
other operator for 2-4 week stints and pulling
alternating 12 hour shifts switching between and playing
commercials and the programming for various TV preachers
that rented time on Ch. 30. For many of the programs
that meant turning the satellite dish to various
satellites in order to pick up Dr. Scott for his time,
and other TV Ministries at other times.
I did this for about 6
months before one day off I went to the studio in
Glendale to participate in that evenings Festival of
Faith. It was on this night I got Doc's attention for
the first time. Well, not exactly. Actually the first
time I got his attention was when I was on the job at
Sunset Ridge and "accidently" happened to have turned
the dish toward an adult channel that I was "accidently"
watching while I was working my shift. When it came time
to make a switch from the on air programming to a
commercial reel, I popped in the tape and accidently
(really accidently) hit the wrong button letting the
Triple XXX Adult programming broadcast to an audience
watching Christian programming! In a panic I started
hitting buttons switching between Pastor Glen Chambers
and a bi-racial couple in full close-up doggie-style
action. Needless to say I figured that was the end of my
Pastoral Internship. Instead I got a call from Joe
Shackleford, Doc's Chief Engineer at the time, telling
me Doc fell on the floor in hysterics when told about
what I had just done. Doc's message to me was simply
"Don't watch that Adult channel when working an air
shift."
Okay, so the 2nd time I
got Doc's attention was at Festival one night. I was
sitting in Master Control watching the show being
produced for my first time. During a song break, I could
see (watching Doc on the set from the monitors in the
control room) Joe Shackleford approaching Doc on the set
and speaking to him. Shortly after I was called to the
set. I was stopped standing in the doorway of the set
and Doc took a long look at me. Standing a full 6'6"
tall, I filled the entire doorjamb from top to bottom. I
was then released back to the control room, and when
Shackelford returned he told me my days on the mountain
top were over. Doc wanted me around in case he needed me
for his security. As time went on I had many occasions
to protect Dr. Scott at various functions including most
every horseshow he attended. (See picture of me helping
Doc get his "Freedom Stick" lit at the Santa Barbara
Show grounds).
Throughout the years I (and others working with me)
intervened and got between Doc and people that would
approach him uninvited. They ran the gambit from over
zealous fans, other celebrities, Statesmen and women,
nuts, crazies and demon possessed, to process servers
(who we had a particular not-so-friendly response too).
Many people didn't know
that Dr. Scott had a rarely issued Concealed Weapons
permit in California. He was usually armed when in
public, and he would often slip me a handgun to carry
while I was with him. Thank goodness I never had the
occasion to use it. But, I can say that I did save Doc's
life onetime that I know of for sure. I actually saved
Dr. Scott from killing himself!
One afternoon I was
doing security at Doc's Silver Oaks Ranch compound in
Bradbury Ca. Doc was enjoying walking through the horse
barns and watching the trainers work the show horses in
the large riding ring just in front of the main
barn and office facility overlooking the outdoor
practice ring. As it happened, I was tailing Doc from a
respectable distance, just keeping on eye on him. At one
point he was walking down the middle of the barn isle
and instead of going into the office, he decided to sit
down in one of directors chairs that lined the center
wall of that barn isle. I stood opposite him against the
office side of the barn isle wall, and we watched
various horses passing between us being put through
their paces up and down the barn isle.
All of a sudden (during
an idle moment when no one was around), Doc's chair gave
way underneath him sending straight down to the ground
landing in kind of an Indian sitting position atop the
broken chair. It happened so fast, and left us both
startled and staring at each other for a few
milliseconds, then Doc burst out with a loud laugh,
which relaxed my progress toward him, and I started
laughing. In that instant a look of fear and panic fell
across Doc's face that I'll never forget. His face began
to turn blue as he wasn't able to draw a breath back in
after the outburst of his laugh. He started to struggle,
he was stuck and couldn't even raise his head, or his
arms up for me to pull him up. I had to yank him forward
to break the invisible hold that seemed to be
restraining him and choking him to death!
Sucking in a life giving breath, Doc's face
began turning back to flesh color, and I got
him to his feet. After gaining his composure
a bit, he explained to me what he felt
happened.
continued above
It seems
when he fell to the ground in that awkward sitting
position he was actually locked up and trapped in the
frame of the chair that also had him rocked backed
against the wall pressing his chin into his chest and
cutting off his air supply. It wasn't until I had yanked
him forward that he was able to breathe in. He told me
he would've died right there and then if I hadn't been
there to save him. It scared him, and it scared me. I
remember him being in a state of shock for several
minutes as he was grasped by the reality, and was
muttering how easily he could've died that day. Of
course God gets the glory of saving Doc that day. I'll
forever be grateful he gave me such an honor.
I don't know if he ever told anyone about that incident,
but I can tell you, after that day, he started to diet
and get in shape. I'm guessing he never wanted to break
another chair just by sitting in it. Been there done
that!
"Jesus Saves"
Doc also located
and saved the historic "Jesus Saves" signs (from
on old sign graveyard), that once sat atop the
now demolished Hope Street Church. He relocated
them to the Los Angeles University Cathedral
while under his ownership. I understand one of
the signs has been removed and sent to the old
Faith Center facility in Glendale, CA. I read on
the "Jesus
Saves Signs Blog" the other sign will remain
with the new owners of the old United Artist
theater.

Doc-ism "One
Never Knows, Does One?" That's certainly true when it came to what Doc might do on
television.
One night during festival, Doc showed all of us in the studio a
new video that was being passed around. Not sure how they passed
anything around before the internet, but Doc got a hold of "Tootin
Tilton" a parody of the gaseous effects of
being a false prophet!
After testing it out on
us to hysterics in the studio,
HE PLAYED IT ON AIR!

cleaner than the video Doc showed us. See that from the link
below.
William euGene Scott, also known
as Dr. Gene Scott
(and sometimes styled w. euGene Scott), (August 14,
1929 - February 21, 2005), was a United States pastor
and teacher who served for almost 50 years as an
ordained minister and religious broadcaster in Los
Angeles, California. In 1975, he began nightly live
broadcasts, and eventually satellite broadcasts extended
his services and talk shows to many countries. Scott
became known for his stage persona as much as his
preaching skills. On stage with him were always several
chalkboards or dry-erase boards which he would fill with
scriptural passages in the original Greek, Hebrew or
Aramaic as he preached, discussing the nuances of
biblical languages and their interpretations. During his
live fundraising broadcasts, he would stare into the
camera and order viewers to "Get on the telephone!",
successfully raising $1 million a month. His charitable
activities included raising money for the Los Angeles
Public Library and the Rose Bowl Aquatic Center in
Pasadena.
Early life and career
Gene Scott was born in Buhl, Idaho. He earned his Ph.D.
in Philosophies of Education at Stanford University in
1957 and subsequently served as an ordained minister for
almost 50 years. During his career, Scott served as a
traveling Teacher for the Pentecostal Assemblies of God,
the president of the Full Gospel Fellowship of Churches
and Ministers International for nine years and, for a
combined total of 35 years, as the pastor for the
Protestant Wescott Christian Center and Faith Center.
For the last fifteen years of his ministry Scott held
weekly Sunday Bible teaching services at the Los Angeles
University Cathedral in Los Angeles, California.
In 1975, Scott was elected pastor of Faith Center, a
45-year old church of congregational polity in Glendale,
California. Faith Center Broadcasting Network was the
first Christian television station and the first to
provide 24 hour Christian programming. Scott added a
nightly live television broadcast to the network called
the Festival of Faith.
In 1983, the University Network began broadcasting the
first 24 hour-a-day religious television network via
satellite to North America and much of Mexico and the
Caribbean. Affiliate television and radio stations
broadcast Scott's services and nightly teachings.
Over the years, Scott wrote and published some 20 books.
Three books have been released (as of 2008), including
the first volume of "The Pulpit" that will track every
Sunday message preached since his arrival at Faith
Center in 1975.
He was also an artist, painting well over 1000
watercolors, acrylics or oils, a philatelist, an
equestrian, and a philanthropist.
Assemblies of God
Although an agnostic while attending Stanford
University, he came to a strong faith in Jesus Christ
while earning his Ph.D. in 1957. He then taught at
Evangel College (now Evangel University), then assisted
Oral Roberts in establishing Oral Roberts University in
Tulsa, Oklahoma. Scott eventually joined the Assemblies
of God, a Pentecostal denomination and served overseas
in the mission field for several years.
Scott showed disdain for other religious broadcasters
like Jerry Falwell and Jimmy Swaggart and bristled when
people referred to him as a "televangelist", preferring
to be regarded as a teacher and pastor.
Wescott Christian Center
In 1970, Scott resigned his Assemblies of God
credentials in good standing and formed Wescott
Christian Center with his father, a pastor in Oroville,
California. Later, Scott was elected Pastor by a
unanimous vote of the church board of "Faith Center" in
Glendale, California. His father, known as "Pop Scott"
and his mother, known as "Mom Scott" assisted him at his
new church.
Wescott Christian Center is the titleholder to the Los
Angeles University Cathedral, other church properties
and bank accounts, according to County records. Upon
Scott's passing all assets and copyrights transferred to
his wife, Melissa Scott.
Full Gospel Fellowship
Scott was voted vice president of the fledgling "Full
Gospel Fellowship of Churches and Ministers
International", of which his father was a member, and
later served as its president from October 1975 to July
1984.
Faith Center
In 1975, while serving his Oroville ministry, Scott was
approached to serve as a financial consultant for the
forty-five-year-old "Faith Center" church in Glendale,
California, by its then pastor and founder, religious
broadcaster Ray Schoch.
Faith Center owned four broadcast stations, which
included KHOF-TV channel 30 in San Bernardino,
California, KHOF-FM 99.5 in Los Angeles, California,
KVOF-TV channel 38 in San Francisco, California, and
WHCT channel 18 in Hartford, Connecticut.
Los Angeles University Cathedral
In 1989, Scott was approached by Bruce Corwin, then
president of Miracle on Broadway and Chairman of the
Metropolitan Theatres Corporation to restore the United
Artists flagship theater in downtown Los Angeles.
In 1990, Scott and his congregation moved their Sunday
service to the building now called the "Los Angeles
University Cathedral". According to the Los Angeles
County Recorder's office and North American title
report, Scott acquired ownership of the cathedral
through his entity, Westcott Christian Center, in
December 2002. Both the Cathedral and the neon "Jesus
Saves" signs are designated historic monuments.
The "Dr. Gene Scott Bible Collection" of Bibles, books,
and manuscripts is housed at the Los Angeles University
Cathedral.
University Network
In 1975, Scott began a series of broadcasts, which
resulted in the creation of the University Network. By
1983, the University Network was broadcasting his
sermons twenty-four hours a day via satellite to the
United States and Canada, as well as to much of Mexico
and the Caribbean. By 1990, his network was available to
180 countries, and by 1992 his sermons were being
broadcast in several languages on AM, FM, and short-wave
radio.
Drawing from nearly thirty years of recorded
programming, Scott's radio, satellite and television
ministry continues to be broadcast although on different
stations and at different times.
Broadcasting presentation
During two and a half years following Scott's passing,
his surviving wife and successor Melissa Scott has
purchased many hours of time over broadcast, cable, and
satellite television for the presentation of 1-hour
programs of his messages from his later years, as well
as many recent lectures done by herself from the Los
Angeles University Cathedral. Still available are the 24
hour a day satellite, Internet, short-wave radio
broadcasts, carrying the raw network feed, featuring 30
years of Scott's recorded teachings.
Other activities
Scott's interests and memberships included:
* Los Angeles Central Library Save the Books telethon
* Vice-Chairman of the Board of the Rose Bowl Aquatics
Center and one of its founding directors
* Member, Board of "Rebuild L.A."
* Member, Philatelic Foundation of New York
Death
Scott was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2000, but
declined surgery and chemotherapy. Four years later
conventional treatments were implemented but were not
effective at stopping the metastatic cancer.
Complications of the cancer and treatments set in,
leading to heart failure, fluid in the lungs, and
abnormal blood clotting; all of which Scott described to
his congregation during several months of continued live
broadcasts.
A few days before his death, Scott experienced a stroke,
and then he signed papers to transfer powers and assets
to his wife, Melissa Scott. Eugene Scott then lapsed
into a coma in Glendale Adventist Hospital.
Scott suffered a fatal stroke and was pronounced dead at
4:30 p.m. PST on Monday, February 21, 2005.
Scott in culture
Clips from one of his on-air fund drives were used in
the Cabaret Voltaire recording Sluggin' for Jesus.
Scott is depicted in the 1980 documentary God's Angry
Man, directed by Werner Herzog.
In 2012 I visited Doc's final resting place at
the Sunset Mausoleum located in El Cerrito,
California. I spent 20 minutes or so quietly
reflecting on the precious memories I have of
Dr. Scott and his parents "Mom and Pop Scott."
I've stood in "The Scott Room" on several
occasions. The first time I saw the room it
stood tall with 5 empty tombs stacked one on top
of the other. I can remember thinking they would
never be populated by its current occupants
because in those days I was expecting Christ's
return to call His saints home. The next time I
stood in the room was with Doc, Mom Scott, and a
few other guests in attendance to witness the
entombing Pop Scott.
It had been my honor to be Mom & Pop's personnel
security and driver for many years. I once asked
them if they thought they would live to see the
return of Jesus, Pop answered "no", Mom answered
"yes". Now I wonder if I will.
The next time I stood in the room was on the
Sunday of Dr. Scott's entombment. That day
started at the Los Angeles University Cathedral
where I watched Doc's memorial service from a
balcony seat looking down on the stage and
flowered draped coffin. After the service I went
home with my family. About an hour later I
received a phone call from my best friend ( a
staff member), who told me he was in a motorcade
heading for the mausoleum with Dr. Scott's
remains. I quickly packed an overnight bag and
jumped in my car in the hopes of making it in
time to witness Doc's entombment.
I left home in the late afternoon and headed
north. I'll never forget the mixed emotions of
driving into the sunset as it started to
sprinkle lightly adding a rainbow to the
horizon. I just couldn't help but wonder if the
motorcade (being at least 2 hours in front of
me) was washed as I was in what seemed to me as
God's mood lighting. It was truly awesome and I
was blessed by it.
By the time I reached the Grapevine on
Interstate 5, "God's mood" was changing. That
light sprinkle was turning into a very ominous
thunderstorm. The clouds snuffed out what
remained of the sunset and darkness fell with a
fury of heavy rain, wind, and lightning that
quickly became a 2 hour battle of faith and will
to continue my high-speed chase of the
motorcade. By the time I got to the Bay area I
had driven out of the storm. As it turned out, I
arrived at the mausoleum just 10 minutes behind
the motorcade. I parked and ran up the hill to
the doors of the mausoleum. When I entered I
could see Doc's coffin just being rolled into
the building and beginning its final short
journey to the "Scott Room" flanked by 20-30
staff and guests that had made the trip. Leading
the way was Melissa Scott and my friend (who had
called me) to her side, I took up the space on
her other side and we all quietly led the
procession to Doc's final resting place.
I will always be grateful for God's grace and
gift of allowing my presence and participation
in that most final moment of Dr. Scott's earthly
journey, and my journey with him that
started nearly 30 years earlier. Praise God.

Dinner with Doc at Chasen's On rare occasions Dr. Scott would sign autographs,
particularly when he would throw a party or banquet for
King's House's to attend. I went to many of these events
including the Chasen's Banquet in 1985 titled "A
Testimony to a Teacher" at $5,000 a plate. It was at
this event Doc revealed his long time love of Philately
with a large exhibit of his medal winning collections.
Doc was in great humor that night and was visiting
one-on-one with the attendees. I managed to get Doc,
Mom, and Pop to sign the inside cover of my event
memorial book which each attendee had waiting for them
at their assigned seat and table. Doc's "signature"
autograph usually included the phrase "Never Quit!" as
seen here. Words he lived by, and words all Christian's
should live by.

up to over the years. Below

The Nitro Pills:
Every year Dr. Scott would be sure to fit in several
classic sermons to include his famous "Proof
of the Resurrection" Easter message. The
other sermons were known as "The Nitro Pills". So named
because like those with a heart condition would make
sure to always have in their possession a few nitro
pills in a container in case they needed one, Doc wanted
these messages always available for those times in our
Christian walk that found our "Spiritual Hearts"
needing a quick fix.

of the Open Door
If you visit
the high rise at 550 South Hope Street in downtown Los
Angeles, you might not know the rich history of that
address or why there is a small memorial to the Church
of the Open Door in the entrance to the building.
Members of the church come back to share with Huell the
seventy year history of that spot and explain the
memorial. We’ll also visit the fabled “Jesus Saves” sign
that once graced the roof of the original church in it’s
new location and go to the site of the new Church of the
Open Door in Glendora. DOC
