X CHAPTER 1 Introduction The General Council of the Assemblies of God is concerned with church growth. The writer is an ordained minister with the Assemblies of God serving in the Kentucky District Council. The decade of the nineties [that includes 1990 to the year 2000] has been designated as the "Decade of Harvest" by The General Council of the Assemblies of God. Charles T- Crabtree, director for the United States Decade of Harvest, writes, "No one can deny that goals are fundamental to spiritual renewal .. .Across our fellowship the 'Decade of Harvest' is recognized as the spiritual agenda for the 1990 "s."^ The following goals have been established: "U.S. Decade of Harvest Goals: To enlist one million prayer partners To plant five thousand new churches To train and disciple twenty thousand new ministers To win five million persons to Christ Kentucky Decade of Harvest Goals : To enlist 13,062 prayer partners To win 82,380 persons to Christ To plant ninety new churches"^ I have answered the call to ministry for the past twenty- two years. Of that period, thirteen years have been in the pastorate. During this time, I have developed an interest in ^ Charles T. Crabtree, "Reap The Opportunities." Pentecostal Evangel , ed. Sue Montgomery, August 13, 1989:19- ^ "Decade of Harvest Chronicle." Pentecostal Evangel, ed. Sue Montgomery, August 13, 1989:19, 25. 2 the dynamics of a growing church.

Van Dyke August 2016 © 2016 Ian E. Van Dyke. All Rights Reserved. 2 This thesis titled Rapture and Realignment: The New Christian Right and American Conservative Views of Israel by IAN E. VAN DYKE has been approved for the Department of History and the College of Arts and Sciences by Kevin Mattson Connor Study Professor of Contemporary History Robert Frank Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 ABSTRACT VAN DYKE, IAN E., M.A., August 2016, History Rapture and Realignment: The New Christian Right and American Conservative Views of Israel Director of Thesis: Kevin Mattson This thesis examines the ways evangelical Protestant views of Israel shaped perceptions of the Middle East among the wider American conservative movement during the second half of the twentieth century, as well as the centuries-old ideas underlying their idiosyncratic worldview. Motivated by God’s promise to Abraham to “bless those” who showed favor to his progeny and fascinated by Israel’s role in End Times prophecy, politically conservative evangelical Christians worked tirelessly to promote the cause of the Jewish State to their American audience. As they gained influence within the American conservative movement, the rhetoric of New Christian Right activists like Jerry Falwell, Tim LaHaye, and Pat Robertson helped redefine Israel in the conservative imagination. In crafting an apocalyptic worldview that translated Israel’s spiritual significance into secular politics, the New Christian Right transformed American conservatism in ways still visible today.

S. Houston District Superintendent 1939 - 1954 This Issue of the District Minutes Is Dedicated REV. L. S. HOUSTON 1895 - 1964 MEMORIAL Lawrence S. Houston was born January 8, 1895, and departed this life June 21, 1964. Words can hardly convey the tribute we would like to pay to the memory of this man of God. Over thirty-one years of his life were poured out in service to the Pilgrim Holiness Church in the Kentucky District. Sixteen and one-half years he pastored, and fifteen years he served as District Superintendent. He was used of God to start several of our larger churches. When he was elected Superintendent, our present camp ground was one year old and had only the tabernacle, the dining room, and five cottages. Living for God and others summarized his whole Christian life. Many of his converts he helped to establish by going with them to make restitution, some of them for serious offences. God always brought them out victorious. One of his converts has been one of our fine pastors and a member of the district council for several years. Many are on the way to Heaven because he would not give them up, holding to them with one hand and to God with the other, until they were able to walk on with God alone.
