New Pastor: New Fellowship
by Mattie Ann Callier-Spears
ne year ago this month, Rev.
Ernest Thompson, Jr. and
his wife Ruth moved to Portland,
Oregon. Was it on an impulse? A
whim? "The Lord led me here to
lead His people” answers Rev.
Thompson.
O
Rev. Ernest Thompson
Born in W alterboro, South
Carolina, Ernest Thompson, Jr.
was born into a very large family of
eleven children. He has five sisters
and five brothers. His parents
Ernest Norman Thompson and
Minniebelle Fields Thompson.
In 1961, Rev. Thompson was
called into the m inistry. He
pastored the Healing Stream
Revival Church in Los Angeles,
California.
Rev. Thompson and his wife,
Ruth (has her degree in music and
serves as the Minister of Music)
have purchased a church building
in Oregon City located at 14257
Maple Lane Court. The new name
o f the c h u rc h is — Oswego
Fellowship Church.
This is a ‘ Faith H e a lin g ’
ministry. In 1963. while working as
a Practical Male Nurse, through a
healing prayer that was prayed by
Rev. Thompson — a man was
brought back to life. Since then,
many people have been healed
because of his prayers. Since he
has been here in the Northwest,
he has healed a woman of a kidney
ailment — here in Portland, at Rev.
Flower’s church.
He invites you to come and wor­
ship and bring your ills; but, more
important bring your FAITH — and
be HEARD.

at leat one Black child.

two (22) interdenominational min­
isters, will outreach to Black con­
gregations around the state to find
families for more than 80 Black
children awaiting adoption in Ore­
gon. The ’One Church, One Child’
program is rated highly on Gover­
nor G o ld s c h m id t’s C h ild re n
Agenda.
Always Near You
When you go to church on Sunday
Though you know He's everywhere,
Don't you feel that more than ever
God is really, truly there?
Isn’t there a certain something
In that solemn atmosphere.
That inspires you to thinking
God is somewhat extra near7
Don't you hear the angels singing
When you listen to the choir,
And don’t all your good intentions
Rise at least a little higher?
Yes, ot course, you have that feeling
But it is not church on Sunday,
For that's just a time for worship
You would seldom take on Monday.
You could always be inspired
If you spoke to God each day,
And remembered every moment
He is never far away.
