Another busy week....

Dear Friends,

It has again been another busy week in the work around the State of Tennessee. Camps are in full-swing, and the energy around Camp Hickory Hills is amazing. We visited the Big Shot camp this week and were thrilled to see the great staff on hand to help make the week a success. Congratulations are in order to Kim Batson for doing such a great job. We really appreciate the work that she does.

I learned that the Harriman church is in revival this next week, and we are hoping to drop in on Pastor Larry Noe and his congregation there. Its always a pleasure to visit with the church.

In just a few minutes, Debra and I are leaving to attend the wedding of Erica McCaleb (daughter of our Robert's Tabernacle church pastor) in Cleveland. Because I will be ministering at Lawrence Chapel in the morning, we will need to leave immediately after the wedding and return home.

Thanks for your prayers as we continue to travel throughout the beautiful State of Tennessee and enjoy the handiwork of God! God bless you is my prayer

Who were they? Abel, Enoch and Noah. Abel pleased God with his excellent offering, Enoch was so close to God that he actually walked with God to the point that one evening, while walking God said to Enoch, "we are closer to my house than we are yours, so why don't you just go home with me?" Of course, Noah built an ark (according to God's instructions) that saved mankind from total destruction. Then there was Abraham...the father of the faithful. He...

A new convert?

I just learned, that we may have converted a "roll-tide" Alabama fan! You decide.

New Church Organized

It is always a tremendous thrill to announce the establishment of a new church. This post shares a little about our latest. On January 30, 2011 I met with the people of the Capilla De La Victoria (Victory Chapel) in Cleveland, Tennessee for the purpose of organizing and establishing what had been a mission work for well over two years. Previously, this group had met under the direction of Cliff Anderson in a part of the Peerless Road Complex. Pastor Tim Coalter (now State Presiding Bishop of South Carolina) shared with the congregation a vision of that local church planting two churches in the United States. We then joined in a partnership with the Tennessee State Office to share in the cost of rent and other needs for a period of two years. Since the inception of the idea, there were several changes. Pastor Cliff Anderson felt the need of a change and Pastor Tim Coalter was appointed to serve in another ministry. At this time Omar Velazquez agreed to assume the leadership of th...
