The 4 Gospels gives us the Holy Ghost driven Ministry and Purpose of the Triune God’s presence on earth in the form of sinful flesh. The Gospels are the Center piece of the whole Bible and fulfillment of God’s Promise to human kind: Genesis 3:15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

“Church Of The 4 Gospels” The Dream that Inspired the church name:

While living in NC, my father passed away in 1983, when we where still using rotary phones hanging on the wall in or near the kitchen. When I had this dream in 2024, I had been working in the Information Technology field for over 30 years. We lived in two totally different computer technology eras and my father didn’t know what a computer “Mother Board” was.

When I was in High School, sometimes during the summer, I would work with my father at Lloyd Lumber Yard in Holly Ridge NC. We would also as a side hustle haul dirty, using a Backhoe and dump truck.

In the Dream: I was walking down a two lane dirt road to meet my father and I ran into a couple of young people hanging out; leaning up against the front of a pickup truck. I could only make out the face of one them and she had Korean features. I asked them had they seen my father and she said yes and he will be coming out down the next dirt road, so I continued walking to meet him and I could see the backhoe through the wood line heading toward the dirt road he would turn on. I crossed to the other side of the dirt road to be on his driver’s side. After turning down the dirt road and emerging from the wood line, he was no longer driving the yellow backhoe, instead he was driving a Yellow School Bus when he met me at he road intersection. After he pulled up and was stopped with his elbow hanging out the window, he said to me: “I Need Those 4 Mother Boards”.

I turn to the right with my back toward my father, head down, hand to my face, thinking to myself, “Where would I have 4 mother boards”. Suddenly my father and everything in the dream like a background began to fade away, I then woke up and stood up out the bed still wondering where would I have 4 mother boards. I almost instantly understood that the 4 mother boards was the 4 Gospels.

What Jesus was saying “I Need Those 4 Gospels” wondering and as I repeated the 4 Gospels several times, that’s when I believed and said or heard “The Church Of The 4 Gospels”.
