I was thinking of Hal today. I didn’t know he had went to sit with the Lord. He was a great man, enjoyed talking to him while he coached my daughter in volleyball lessons.

I met Hal at Hope Chapel Hermosa in the early `80. I was involved in the sound and video ministries then. When Hope Chapel started " Mini Church's, it didn`t take Hal long to start one. I started going to His mini-Church. When He gets a vision, He can`t wait to share it with someone. He told Me about it. He got a group together who wanted to hear more about it. So, we when to Torrance beach one night, at the cliffs set a bone fire and prayed. Hal told Us what He felt God led Him to do. We all committed to it. HOPE CHAPEL HOLLYWOOD went into second gear. What an adventure! I had no idea what to expect. I had some fear, but I walked by faith, we were able attract more into it and the rest is history. Hal and I were both Vietnam vets there the same years. Now, In Christ He was a Christain Soldier in a different Vietnam, Hollywood. He fought the good fight. God has Him now. God probably padded Him on the back and, enter Now good and faithful servant and I will give You rest. I WILL MISS HIM!!! I`m crying. He was My friend!! He asked Me to help, and I did. I met allot of great people.
I interviewed Pastor Hal for a book on John Lester (John Boy). He had such wonderful stories to share, especially one in which Pastor Hal visited John Boy in the hospital. John was dying and Pastor Hal prayed for him. A miracle occurred because John walked out of the hospital the next day. Because of Pastor Hal's prayers, John had an extra two years of ministry before passing in 1992.
I believe John welcomed Pastor Hal into heaven with his huge grin and one of his famous hugs. :) Lori Wall-Holloway
