POPLARVILLE, MS. -- Sanctuary of Praise is not a large church but they have succeeded in doing one thing in their community.  They are attracting people by the love that is within the church.  I know that every church has a certain amount of love but Sanctuary of Praise has become a beacon of light in a difficult area during a difficult time.  Pastor Bill Davidson is not just a normal pastor but he is a pastor that flows with the power and the strength of God in his sanctuary.  The difference between this pastor is that he has a revival church with a pastoral care.  God moves through this pastor and he is a Sheppard who watches over his flock.  When you begin to speak to some of the members you will find that many of them were not raised in a Pentecostal situation.  One man who has come from a long line of Pentecostal minister is named Casey Somes.  Cases father and grandfather carry the tradition of pastors who have served in generations past in Poplarville, Mississippi.  Casey was hungry for God and began to read the Bible for what it said.  He began to hunger for the Baptism in the Holy Spirit.  As Pastor Davidson dunked him in the water he came out of it speaking in tongues.  That was the thing that broke his traditional Baptist roots and took him to a level he had and his family had never been to in the Baptist expression.  Oh yes he still lives in his families community but today he sees God in a whole new light and has a determination to go deeper.  That's the kind of dedication that this church has to the community.  

There are no denominational barriers for coming to Sanctuary of Praise, the foundation has been set in love and the presence of God. The power to heal all manner of diseases is in this house of God and the report of healings happen every week as they come together to worship God. Every once and a while God shows you something that works the vision of Pastor Bill Davidson has manifested itself through his people and the people who are drawn to this church.  The Remnant International has chosen Sanctuary of praise as one of the best churches in America, it is a church of love and will absorb you in its call to its community.
