In 1954, God gave the late Bishop Winford F. Lamb and the late Mother Odessa Lamb a vision to come to Belcross, North Carolina and start a ministry for the Lord. Together they prayed and God gave them an old school house to worship in. The building had one room, a worn porch (if you were not careful, you would/could fall in), cinder blocks for steps, worn benches to sit on, a very unstable wooden floor, an old heater for heat in the winter, kerosene lamps to see by night, a man-made pulpit to preach on and two stool chairs, a piano played by the late Mother Lamb, one old drum played by the late Deacon Andrew Spellman, and an out house in the woods.

In spite of these conditions, the late Bishop Lamb never gave up. He kept coming down from Virginia to do the work that God ordained him to do. He would come many times and there would be no one there but the ones who would come down with him. He never became discouraged, he kept coming and preaching the word of God until God began to draw men and women to be saved. The saints would come to tarry for the Holy Ghost and praise and worship God in the beauty of holiness. In the old place of worship, the old heater would be jumping, dust flying, benches jumping and saints dancing in the spirit. Many times they would snag their clothes and stockings but they kept on coming because they knew that Guiding Light was a place that God had chosen to set his name. Just as Nehemiah said in the word of God, "I am about a good work and can't come down." The late Bishop Lamb was about a good work and couldn't come down.

God allowed his vision to be fulfilled by renovating the old school house one room section which served as our sanctuary into a newly furnished kitchen addition to our newly built place of worship. Now that the vision has been fulfilled, the old sanctuary still remains as the memories of how the Lord brought the saints from a mighty long way. When you look back into the kitchen and visualize the way the old sanctuary looked to the way it looks now, the saints of God can say that the Lord was with the late Bishop Lamb and the vision has been approved. Praise God for his wonderful works and praise God for his mighty actions. Look how far we have come.

Pastor Elder Aldie J. Spellman repented of his sins according to Acts 2:38 in the year of 1956. He became a faithful brother in Christ to Guiding Light Apostolic Church of Christ. He tarried until God filled him with the precious gift of the Holy Ghost about a few years later he met and married Sister Wanza Hunt and to their union were born fifteen children and of the fifteen children, two sets of twins. Out of the fifteen children, all of them are saved and three are preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Before becoming the Pastor of Guiding Light Apostolic Church of Christ he was a faithful brother, deacon and follower of Christ and to his Pastor the late Bishop W.F. Lamb. Pastor Elder Aldie Spellman was ordained into the ministry on February 10, 1991 under the leadership of the late Bishop Lamb. He worked faithfully beside his Pastor until God called the late Bishop home for a labor or reward in May 1995. In June 1995, Elder Aldie J. Spellman was installed into the Pastoral ship of Guiding Light Apostolic Church of Christ and God continues to give him strength to carry on the work that God has called him to do faithfully. Mother Wanza Spellman has been saved since the year 1950 according to Acts 2:38 and she has been a faithful member to the church.
