A Worthy Battle
Article by Dennis Call
Capitalizing on the dramatic Confederate victory in the Chancellorsville Campaign (fought just outside Fredericksburg, VA), General Robert E. Lee moved his Army of Northern Virginia into Pennsylvania in hopes of securing a victory in Union territory. As Lee’s forces moved across the Potomac River, Major General George Meade and his Army of the Potomac pursued the Confederates. The opposing forces eventually collided at the crossroads town of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, on the morning of July 1, 1863. What ensued was the bloodiest three-day battle in American history as 51,112 Union and Confederate soldiers were killed, wounded, or were missing and captured. The Confederate defeat was the undoing of Lee’s army and would lead to the eventual surrender of his forces at Appomattox Courthouse on April 9, 1865.

From the days dawning, the energy and expectation of the day’s event was palpable as men of all ages, representing over thirty different churches entered Ocean City Tabernacle’s doors. Men excitedly responded to Dr. Tony Evans’ call to take their God assigned mantle of leadership in their homes and community to establish the foundation of what loving God rightly looks like.
