As Revival Faith Mission Churches founder and overseer Amos Rahming.

As Revival Faith Mission Churches celebrates their 39th year this month, they will honor Amos Rahming, the church's founder and overseer for his spiritual contributions.

Rahming on Sunday, July 24, will have been an itinerant evangelist for more than 50 years, ministering throughout the country, the Caribbean and the United States.

Rahming who is described as short in stature and an old-fashioned evangelist, was born on Andros to Elizabeth Rolle and Hubert Rahming.

The eldest of four children, Rahming grew up with his mother, aunts and grandmother until age 11. Some 20 years later, after he had moved to New Providence, he heard the voice of Jesus calling him to repent, and made a decision to follow Christ. After his salvation experience, he began fellowshipping at the Dixie Church of God under the tutelage of the late Bishop John Davis, Sr.

In the late 1960s he was invited by his friend, John B. Sands, to Miracle Revival Fellowship (MRF) Church of God, Acklins Street. It was at MRF that Amos accepted the call of God to be an evangelist. He was ordained with seven others by the late Apostle Linkworth Stubbs.

Rahming and Sands, like the spiritual giants of the 60s era exercised a faith that was profoundly visible, active and demonstrative.

"We saw God perform miracles, and we lived in expectation that when we called on God, he would answer us. We prayed and believed God, and when we didn't see the answer, we prayed again," said Rahming.

He said this fervent prayer to God became a source of power that undergirded their ministry.

Rahming and Sands conducted evangelistic crusades and revivals in many churches, and on many streets around the country. Rahming said they saw the hand of God move to deliver and save many people; and that they sometimes conducted revivals in churches without remuneration. He recalled going to a church in Florida, paying his own airfare, then being told by the pastor that he could not have the services. But Rahming said he was determined to win the lost at any cost.
