After the Friday evening service at Camp Meeting, Gina and myself along with some other friends had the opportunity to sit down with G. A. Mangun and listen to him tell us how he prays through the tabernacle every time he prays. To listen to this man speak about his close encounters with God in the past few weeks really put a fresh desire in my Spirit to know God. Bro. Mangun is 87 years old but still prays for hours at a time. He told us that a spirit of prayer came on him a couple of weeks ago at 10:00 at night and he prayed until well after midnight. We must have a demonstration of the apostolic power in our churches to do what must be done and we will never see it happen until we are willing to give ourselves continually to prayer and the Word as the Apostles did. I covet your prayers. I want to know Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Not just hear about him, I want to know him.
About Me
- Jerry L. Dean
- Jerry's first love after God is his wife and family. He and his best friend Gina have been married for 34 years. They have three children: Jeremy & Patrice and their son Jackson Luke. Charidy & Shannon Stanley and their three sons Lincoln Dean I (gone on to be present with the Lord) Lincoln Dean II, and Harrison Cruz. Ryan and his wife Shari. Jerry's parents William & Mary Dean live in Bentonville, Arkansas. His father and mother taught him first of all a deep love for family and the Apostolic Doctrine and a deep respect for the U.S.A. Jerry also has four brothers, David, Johnny, Dan,and Mark. He thinks it was tough being the middle child. All but Mark are pastors. Mark and his wife own a funeral home in Grand Prairie Texas. Jerry spent most of his growing up years in a small town in Central Texas called DeLeon where his father was a pastor. Jerry doesn't remember a time when he did not feel a call of God on his life to preach. Jerry has preached in many foreign countries and in a majority of states in the U.S. He loves history. Abraham Lincoln and Ronald Reagan are his favorite presidents.

Amen, Pastor. Same for me. And I appreciate everything that you do to help the church know Him more.
I watched the Louisiana Camp Meeting on the web, someone mentioned the Praying Through The Tabernacle was on the POA web site, I immediately went there and watched. It was one of the most powerful and moving experiences I have ever had.
To sit there and and hear him talk about this must have been so special for you and Sister Dean.
I have ordered the DVD and shared this with all that I can reach, it made me realize we must pray EVERYDAY, EVERYDAY to reach the throne.
