The Bishop Joe Perry Tillis . . . gives Church services every 1st and 3rd Sundays at the Our Saviour Jesus Holiness Pentecostal Church in Samson, Alabama, playing electric slide-guitar, singing, and talking through one scratchy amplifier. He preaches the Pentecost and uses a combination of testimonies and extended hymns he developed with the help of his guiding angels, his daughter, and good friend Sister Bertha Lee Baker.
