Good times were had at Olustee Baptist Church

NOTE: This is an article from the September 9, 2007 edition of the Lake City Reporter newspaper in Lake City, Florida.

The First Baptist Church of Olustee celebrated its 67th anniversary on Aug. 5, and every one there had a Hallelujah good time. Pastor Mike Williams, Evangelist James Croft and featured guest speaker Rev. Herman Rios all contributed to the serious religious message and also to the good humor.

Evangelist Croft, a 3-foot-10 preacher known as “James the Giant,” has a special pulpit designed to fit his size. He takes his own pulpit with him when he travels as a guest speaker and his slogan is, “Have Pulpit, Will Travel.”
