For the first time in the history of the Assemblies of God, the national youth’s Fine Arts Festival Celebration was a part of the combined youth-adult service, which brought to a close the 52nd General Council on Saturday, August 11, in Indianapolis.
Although electing various leaders occupied much of the daytime sessions Friday at the 52nd General Council, the evening showcased the Fellowship’s missionary force, abroad and at home, already on the field and ready to go for the first time.
During the Friday morning business session of the General Council, General Superintendent Thomas E. Trask awarded Dave Kyllonen, Duane Nicholson and Neil Enloe of the original “The Couriers” music ministry team and layman Richard Hammar the prestigious General Superintendent’s Medal of Honor.
