After the death of Benjamin Roden, his wife Lois took a leadership role in the Church.  In 1983, she allowed a man named Victor Howell to study at the Mt. Carmel compound outside Waco, but after attracting followers among the movement, he moved to [[Palestine, Texas]].  In 1987, Howell and followers he had amassed conducted an armed assault on the Mt. Carmel compound but were rebuffed.  Upon Lois' death, her and Ben's son George, took control of Mt. Carmel and maintained it until George's arrest for murder, at which time Howell (now taking the name '''David Koresh''') took control of the compound.
