Vernie, a young married man with a wife and small child, was plowing one day behind a mule in McMinn County. A bright light came upon him and a voice spoke from the light. The voice told Vernie that he was called to be a preacher of the gospel. He did not know what to do. In time his young wife and child became sick and both died from their illnesses. 
A few years later Vernie married my grandmother and another baby girl was born. The bright light and voice again returned while he was plowing. The voice again informed Vernie that he was called to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and that He could take this wife and child as he took the first, if he did not obey. Vernie headed the mules to the barn and the neighbors over-heard him praying through. With only a 1st grade education, Vernie began to try to preach the gospel and obey the call of God upon his life. He became a preacher within the Baptist faith until he witnessed the transforming power of the Holy Ghost upon one of his daughters. Her experience of the baptism of the Holy Ghost and speaking in tongues convinced him to pray through to another level of commitment in God. He became the first Hyde of his family and generation to receive the gift of the Holy Ghost as in the book of Acts. In time Vernie came to the knowledge of water baptism in the name of Jesus Christ. Before World War II he was involved in a revival which created the building of a church in Cleveland. R. L. Hyde's Call 
Vernie's youngest son, R. L., my father, received the call into the ministry
while in his twenty's. During an early part of R.L.'s ministry experience, Jesus came into his bedroom
one night while he was sitting up in the bed wide awake.
Jesus walked into the
room, leaned over the bed and touched him, kissing R.L. on the cheek saying,
read Matthew 13:16; .." But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears,
for they hear."
Over the course of several years he traveled and
evangelized. In the late 60's, the Lord Jesus told R.L. to build a church in Cleveland
and to get his family out of the Harlot Church System.
My Call While my father was growing in his walk and revelation of Jesus Christ, I spent the
majority of my church experience attending local Pentecostal Church of God congregations. Their fellowship and friendship was instrumental in my receiving the gift of the Holy
Ghost while still a teenager. at a Tennessee Youth Camp in Chattanooga. Later I graduated from Lee College. I was in my
twenties before I would make the choice to walk in the Apostles Doctrine
and to work in the church with my father, R. L.
As I worked with him in the ministry, I served the church in any capacity that I
was asked or saw the
need; ...song leader, musician, janitor, sunday school teacher, Bible teacher, preacher, assistant pastor & evangelist.
The call of God grew in my life over the years until the Spirit of God bade me to resign my job as a
school teacher minister on a full time basis. Over a period of five years, we evangelized full time, pastored, and
worked in a christian schools. At the end of that time we returned to Cleveland
to Pastor the church in which I had been spiritually nutured.
As an apostolic voice in Cleveland contending for the same faith that was once delivered to Apostles of the New Testament
and would like to invite you to visit us. Jesus Christ, the
Son of God, is exalted as the way, the truth, the life, and the answer to all of life's
perplexing problems.
