Dr. Elmer Towns is my friend. We met first in 1978, and he has been an encouragement to the Lord’s work here in Korea. Walking with Giants tells of his friendship with many of the pastors of the world’s largest churches and many nations of the world. He has a love for all the believers in all the denominations and has been a friend of pastors in all of these groups. Dr. Elmer Towns is a Baptist, and he has great love for those who love Jesus Christ. My church is Pentecostal, and he preached here, and was used of God.
