Richard Benjamin Sr.

During my early years ,i received christ .and he baptized me in the old chapel.that leaked in two lower offices, they cover desks in plastic when they baptized . Stuck in my memory.

My grandfather was George Richard s brother May they both rip

I thought of you today, thanks for water baptizing my brother and I a loooong time ago!

Dick had a very significant impact on our lives that has lasted for 50 years now. He helped us understand that Christianity was not just a religion or belief, but it was actually a way of life. It has served us well over the years. We appreciate the impact that his kindness and wisdom had on us, our family and so many other people.

Not sure why I thought of Dick B today but indeed if I had been led to ALCC my life would still be adrift. I attend ALCC bible school and fellowshipped there from 1985-1998. He was given a vision for ALCC and church planting and he followed that vision. I just hope and pray that I too share the same courage to "press in" the kingdom. Bless the ALCC family!

The most significant impact on my life was the anointing of the Holy Spirit in Dick Benjamin's life. I was at ALCC in the 70's and saw the moving of the Holy Spirit that I have not seen anywhere else. Dick was an inspiration and example that impacted the lives of hundreds if not thousands of people. I am still grateful for the teaching at ALCC in the services and the bible school. It has been a spiritual compass that has guided me through my life. Thank you Dick for your dedication to...

I am so thankful and blessed for the time that I got to be at Abbott Loop and hear Dick's preaching and teaching. Almost weekly I will mention to someone, something that I remember Dick saying from one of his messages. And that was 45 years ago! What an impact he had on my life!

I credit Dick B. for planting a seed in my heart to really KNOW Jesus, and to hunger and thirst after His righteousness....That seed has grown into a strong tree over the last 40 years of my life, and I will always be grateful, blessed, and thankful.

So many wonderful memories of Dick B and family! I came to Alcc as a 16 year old Jesus People with long hair and moccasins. We sat on the floor and slowly became part of the congregation. I loved singing before he preached and the many outings to minister with Dick. He drove and I sat in the back to preserve my and his integrity. All praise to God for the glorious reunion pastor B is enjoying. Prayers and hugs for Rick and sis.
