Flying Preacher' Brings A New Lift To His Sunday Sermon

This ‘flying preacher’ is the talk of the Internet and he’s making sure that his message is being heard. Pastor Bartholomew Orr, of Brown Baptist Church in Southaven, Mississippi made headlines when he used a flying apparatus during a recent sermon.

The viral video shows Pastor Orr slowly emerging from the back of the church and ‘flying’ all the way to the pulpit, never missing a beat. The church has actually been using the equipment for years during their annual Christmas play, but this is the first time that the pastor has stepped into the harness himself.

“We have a company that comes in, installs it, takes our people through a flight school just to make sure everything is safe.” He used the grand entrance to deliver a powerful message about Jesus returning to Earth. You can see all of the parishioners in awe of the flight and there are numerous people pulling out their phones to capture the moment on video.

“I wasn't nervous. They creeped me in and it wasn't like I was zoomed in.” Even though his congregation applauded the sermon, there have also been a lot of people giving Pastor Orr a hard time for his elaborate arrival. The pastor has his own words for the critics, “I think more young people left Sunday morning talking about my sermon than they did in a while.”

I have to agree with Pastor Orr. If I saw this during a service, I would definitely be talking about it for a while. Have you ever seen anything like this in real life?
