This book emphasizes the importance of the evangelist thrust needed for all church pastors and leaders to embrace the truth of God's Word, and that word will never fail, no matter how others try to stop evangelism throughout our communities, cities, states and national movements. The title If I Only Stayed Longer speaks about the never-ending faith of the people to Christ and his church. Jesus spoke to Peter and said, "Flesh and blood did not reveal to you." Jesus said to Peter, "Upon this rock, I will build my church, and the gate of hell shall not prevail against it." For all who will turn the pages of this study would change their lives for the better, and those who come in contact with throughout this great country in which God has blessed us all to be partakers of this great heritages that we have inherited from God. "TO GOD BE THE GLORY FOR ALL HE HAS DONE."
