Rev. James Earl Holbrook 1934 - 2022 Kentucky - Ohio

" In 1956, at the age of 22, James knelt at an altar to pray what would be the most important prayer he would ever pray; the prayer that would set the course for the next 66 years of his life and beyond. That prayer - asking God to forgive him of his sins - was the beginning of his personal relationship with Jesus Christ. At that time, God also impressed on his heart a call to ministry. The next couple of years found him worshiping with and preaching to fellow believers in churches brimming with different races and ethnicities - a trend that would continue on many occasions throughout his life. In late 1958, Mr. Holbrook became Rev. Holbrook as he further settled into the work and labor of the Lord. It was at this point he became the pastor of a small congregation which met in the basement of the home of Don & Kathleen Bennett. In the years following, they would then move to the current location of the Warren Revival Center."
