In the early 1970s, Evangelist Bennie L. Kelly founded the Revival Team, a group that began as a prayer band traveling from house to house to pray.During these times, Evangelist Kelly read the Word of God and expounded on the scriptures as directed by the Holy Spirit.This prayer band grew rapidly because of its strong appeal to young people, who were searching for a relationship with God.Evangelist Kelly invested in the well being of these youth and constantly kept them in church services and revivals.Sometimes she would pack as many as fifteen people in her car because so many young people wanted to go with her to church.She never turned anyone away.Evangelist Kelly ministered at services every night of the week, and usually three or four times on Sundays. She was adamant about keeping the young people who followed her inspired.
