The Rev. Park Saylor, 92, Pathfork, passed from this life on Thursday, Nov. 29, 2007, at the Pineville Community Hospital.

He was born July 26, 1915 at Foresters Creek, KY to the late Austin Saylor and Katie Eads Saylor.

He was a resident above Pathfork most of his life. Rev. Park was convected and called to the Christian faith when he was 15 years of age on Sept. 17, 1930 and received the gift of the Holy Ghost on Oct., 1, 1930. Saylor preached his first sermon on Oct. 15, 1930 the Middlesboro on Cumberland Avenue.

On May 15, 1935, he married his wife of 60 years, Alma Oma Jean Hollifield. He was a retired U.M.W.A. coal miner.

There were countless thousands of people saved, baptized, healed, set free and delivered. The sick, blind, crippled and the dead raised through his ministry. He moved and operated in the Gifts and callings of God as he traveled for 78 years in evangelizing.

Rev. Saylor was an extraordinary man of God, he was a prophet, counselor and a faith believer. He studied the Bible two- and-one-half to three hours per day, and was a great inspiration and very much loved and appreciated. He was an anointed and powerful prayer warrior. When he prayed for the sick, they received their miracles from Jesus.

Brother Saylor sowed the seed of faith of God into the hearts of people. He always witnessed to sinners, warning them of a coming judgment.

He was a chaplain at the Bell County Forestry Camp at Frakes. Words cannot explain what a man of faith he was and what he meant to the Body of Christ.
