Celebrated 45 years with Normal Deaf Church Group of Illinois, History & Legacy

Pauline Braddy in yellow blazer and with her husband John first came to Brother Couch in Peoria, Illinois outstation ministry twice a month on Sunday afternoon. Rev. Couch traveled from Rockford, Illinois after church to spread the gospel. The Braddy and the Eckstein (Eckstein was not able to attend) were the couples that traveled with children in one big van.

Then John Braddy asked Brother Couch for a need of Pastor to the Deaf in Normal, Illinois to the First Assembly of God. Rev. Couch asked Rev. Tony Callies to pastor so we were installed as pastors in May 1969. There's a story after that. I might finished it later.  Dorothy Callies
