Affiliation With Praise Chapel
In the late 70s, while still a part of Foursquare, two brothers, Mike and Larry Nevelle, came into contact with Wayman Mitchell's fellowship. They were impressed with Mitchell's discipleship approach to training and sending out men to pioneer churches. These men left the Assemblies of God, and Mike Nevelle formed his own organization, Praise Chapel, which he modeled after Wayman Mitchell's fellowship. The two fellowships interacted, almost as one, and the pastors and guest speakers preached meetings and services in each other's churches. Larry Nevelle became a pastor in Mitchell's fellowship, pastoring a church in Phoenix, and then took charge of Mitchell's fellowship's churches in the Philippines.

Famous quotes containing the words affiliation, praise and/or chapel:
“Women will not advance except by joining together in cooperative action.... Unlike other groups, women do not need to set affiliation and strength in opposition one against the other. We can readily integrate the two, search for more and better ways to use affiliation to enhance strength—and strength to enhance affiliation.”
—Jean Baker Miller (20th century)
“The life which men praise and regard as successful is but one kind. Why should we exaggerate any one kind at the expense of the others?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I went to the Garden of Love,
And saw what I never had seen:
A Chapel was built in the midst,
Where I used to play on the green.
And the gates of this Chapel were shut,
And ‘Thou shalt not’ writ over the door;”
—William Blake (1757–1827)
