Robert Lister

1978-1979

It was in the summer of 1976 that Pastors Robert L. Lister, and Jonathan A. Thompson, pastors of the Jamaica Seventh-day Adventist Church and the Springfield Gardens Seventh-day Adventist Church, respectively, held worship services every evening at the corner of Rockaway Boulevard and 142nd Place in Jamaica, New York, and for six weeks conducted evangelistic meetings that resulted in the birth of a new company of Seventh-day Adventist believers.
