I live and serve at a church (Abba’s House) in the Chattanooga, TN area, which is the eastern head of the infamous Trail of Tears… the path that members of the Cherokee, Muscogee (Creek), Seminole, Chickasaw, and Choctaw Indian nations were forced to travel during their forced relocation to the reservation in Oklahoma, beginning in 1831. The journey was horrific, with over 60,000 Indians dying from starvation, disease, and exposure. My good friend, Rabbi Curt Landry, is the pastor of House of David, just outside of Tulsa, OK, at the western end of the Trail.
Recently, I spoke at House of David. Here is a short video in which I tell the story of something that happened while I was there.

One reply on “Along the Trail of Tears”
So very odd….I just watched Pastor Ron preach at House of David last night on theonenew man.com archives. A wonderful service!! I so enjoyed listening to the American Indian man talk (I don’t remember his name) which also brought the entire service full circle with your message. And yes, I have bought the Hiram Code DVD.
