Hank Williams, a preacher since the age of nine, spoke at the
Hank Williams Youth Crusade Banquet last Thursday night at
Perquimans County High School.

Perquimans County reporter
The cafeteria at the Perqui
mans County High School was
filled with singing, praying,
preaching and nigh hopes of a
successful upcoming crusade
Thursday night. A kick-off ban
quet was held and several
church leaders were pleased so
many people came out to sup
port Hank Williams, who will
preach at the revival.
Williams was born in
Evansville, Ind. in 1959. In the
past five years, he has preached
at over 300 youth and church
revivals and traveled over
300,000 miles.
The evangelist was welcomed
to the county, as were those
who came to support the cru
sade.
"I appreciate your attitude.
This shows us that you are se
rious about Jesus Christ. This
response has been so great and
I trust you will sit back and en
joy the spirit of the Lord,” said
Wayne Winslow, a crusade com
mittee member.
The Rev. Donald Crowder, of
the Up River Monthly Meeting,
said the greatest experience any
one could have Is coming to
know Jesus Christ. He offered
ways share His teachings.
“Sit down with someone and
share with them how Jesus
Christ can become real to them
and help them understand how
He wants to walk and talk in
their lives” Crowder said.
Crowder will concentrate on
training counselors during the
crusade. He said he would like
for at least 100 people to learn
how to counsel new Christians.
Williams addressed the audi
ence and told them that sharing
information about the Lord was
important.
"You have a message that is
worth sharing, worth being told.
God is willing to use anyone.
We’ve got to get off the bench,
off the pews and go (out Into the
world),” Williams said.
Williams recalled the tragic
death of a young man who had
become a devil worshipper.
“A 17-year-old man too ker
osene and burned himself. He
said “I’m just going to live with
the devil.””
Williams said he feared
many Christians had “fallen
asleep.”
Spiritual Life Rallies will be
held April 18, 25 and May 2, at
7:27 nightly at the First Baptist
Church.
The youth crusades will be
held each night at 7:27 from
May 5-9 at the Perquimans
County High School Stadium.
