Evangelist Community

Founding  Pastor

Pastor Duffey was called early in life to preach the gospel.  As a child when he was six years old the Lord knocked him out straighten him out and gave him a special anointing.  He then went on through life to encounter many wonderful experiences in seeing the Lord heal the sick and save sinners through his ministry.

Pastor Duffey as a young man fasted and prayed until he would hear from the Lord.  On one specific occasion he was in the church alone fasting and praying when the Lord revealed himself to him.  The Pastor recalled that Jesus looked just like he had seen him on Sunday school cards and pictures.  As he was praying he looked up and the Lord was standing over him.  He had prayed through from morning to evening, he became frighten, the Lord appeared like a tall, tall man and he was smiling. All of a sudden the heavens opened up to him and right then he accepted the anointing of the Lord and totally gave up to Him.  The Lord has blessed him to help hundreds of people to come to the Lord. 

One Profound work of the Lord, through Pastor Duffey, was on a rainy day in the early 1940s when he was preaching on the outskirts of his hometown in Texas.  Lifting his voice with passion, compelling the people to change their lives and accept the true and living God.  As he was preaching a lady, Mother Holly, walked by with her cow.  She had been out of the church a long time, but this day as she walked by to go and stake her cow on the outskirts of town and she met a “man of God”.  She was so taken by the young man preaching in the rain that she stopped and listened.  As she listened to the word of God it touched her heart to see this soaking wet little preacher that she broke down and cried.  At that moment right then, she came back to the Lord.  Pastor Duffey had an opportunity to return back to Texas for a visit and saw Mother Holly who is close to 100 years old and she is still serving the Lord.

The Pastor’s faithfulness and obedience contributes to why he is “Blessed Like That”.

The First Lady Emeritus'

Mother Duffey started serving the Lord at an early age she was playing the guitar in church at the age of 5 years old.  She would go to church with her family traveling many miles through the woods and returning home at night in the dark; her Dad would carry her on his back after a long joyous day in church services. 

Mother Duffey was raised around the older saints and she had a commitment to the Lord at an early age.  She traveled with the saints as they would go out in the “green fields” evangelizing in the community.  They would carry her along as their musician.  As a faithful little girl, she always stood for holiness, all during school she absolutely refused to lower her standards the kids would push and kick her, but she would not take down.  Even as a little girl, she had a great love for the Lord. As a young lady she would carry her Bible to school and pray for the unkind children.  She went on to begin to play the piano and sing in the church and to do a great work. 

In her role as First Lady, Head of the Women’s Department, and CNW Christian Women’s Council she has helped many women.  She has prayed many women through their situations.  One of her motto’s is “We are Warrior Women”
