DOTTIE RAMBO, GERALD CRABB, and MARK JONES joined together to present what some experienced as the Seminar of a LIFETIME !! |
|
songwriter heard both Dottie Rambo and Gerald Crabb!!
The Seminar took place just outside of Tuscaloosa, Alabama on February 17, 2001
Despite the terrible weather the day before and a continuous stream of
unexplainable events, writers from all across the United States from as
far away as Texas, North Carolina, and Kentucky all poured into Alabama
believing for a blessing. The results? It is too awesome to describe
with words. Dottie drew strength from our excitement and through the
Holy Spirit, was ministered to as much as she ministered. A special song
was presented to Dottie and Gerald, penned by Mark Jones and sung by
Deborah Wallace, called, "A LADY FROM THE KING - A Tribute to Dottie Rambo"
which left tears in everyone's eyes and received a standing ovation!!
Good Job Deborah!! You will hear more from her!!
