At 33, Paul Wonders was a successful dairy farmer, with a wife, six children, and a farm that had been in his family for four generations. He "got saved" at an evangelistic meeting in 1948, sold the farm, became an itinerant tent preacher and later an ordained minister. Today, he is pastor of the Gospel Tabernacle Assembly of God in Hammersley Fork, an unincorporated crossroads community in the most sparsely populated corner of Clinton County, PA. The Wonders have built a new church building; they hold four exuberant services a week for their congregation of less than 100. They and their church are flourishing. This is an exploration of a minister and his wife--co-ministers--and the joyous brand of evangelism they conduct in their lives and in their church. From the "Profiles of Rural Religion" series. Produced by P.J. O'Connell for Penn State Television / WPSX-TV. Rural America Documentary project.
