The Rev. Doug Ford, who has pastored at Hardin’s Chapel for 50 years, said Britt has visited his church once before.

“He has studied Revelations for many years and has written a book about it as well,” Ford said. “That’s what he spoke about the first time he came.”

Ford said he’s looking forward to Britt’s return and the opportunity it presents.

“We have been very blessed to have some very renowned speakers and musicians,” Ford said.
