This cover was very touching to those in the congregation of First Baptist Church of Chula Vista for the cover shows a healed Bob Granigan standing on the cover. Bob was a quadriplegic confined to a wheel chair. The main story in the issue is Bob's story as told by Gary Bell who also drew the cover.
This page details how the accident occurred.
This page begins the story of his rescue and medical treatment.
Even McFoone comments on Bob.
On this page Bob receives the devastating news that he would never walk again.
Bob returns to school. The picture is from the San Diego Evening Tribune in June, 1968. He looks very young there.
The story of Bob's conversion is really neat.
He continues to grow and is filled with the Holy Spirit. He also begins to move into Community. He evidently also had his first contact with the FBCCV group at the Kathryn Kuhlman meeting.
I was always impressed by the love shown to Bob through the ministry of those at the Lincoln Court House. Love was shown through their actions.
Obviously life was not easy for Bob or those caring for him.
This is a contemporary picture of Bob
Bob passed away sometime in the 80s. He became quite self sufficient in the last years. He was a vital part of the ministry in the community -- and not just ministry to him -- but through him. Gary is now ministering in Belize. It is only fitting that the issue is completed by the invitation to Gary and Georgia's Wedding.
