Answer: The Charles Mead End Time Ministries of Lake City, Florida has no connection with Sam Fife or Buddy Cobb who founded a group that had similar names & some similar beliefs. Apparently, Charles Mead... originally had some connection with the late Hobart Freeman & his 'Glory Barn' in Indiana. He came to Sioux Falls, S.D. in the mid-70s when I was there & a house church known as 'The Assembly' & 'The Body' led by Gary Cooke & Mike Cady adopted him as their prophet & apostle. Other local assemblies sprung up around the upper Midwest. In the 1980s many & perhaps most of Mead's followers moved to Lake City, FL where about 1,500 to 2,000 of them live around Mead's residence in the suburbs.
