Last evening I was privileged to be with the wonderful folks at the Abundant Life Church of God of Prophecy in Crossville. The pastor, Ron Tackett and the congregation have always been so warm and pleasant to me personally, and I actually felt like my "batteries" were recharged when I got home around midnight.
All this week, we've worked in the office preparing for the upcoming General Assembly, and finalizing year-end statements.
I would like to say how appreciative I am of my wife, Debra for helping me with the work in the office, and it goes without saying that I am thankful that the Lord has Sister Londa Richardson with us as well. She sacrifices to do a good work for the churches and ministers in the state, as does my wife. I'm blessed with a great team in the office, and with great workers at our Youth Camps, our caretaker, Terry Bear and our District Presbyters, Youth and Children's Directors, and committees.
This has been one of the most "full" years of our lives and the most rewarding. God is doing a great work among us.
Pastor Larry Noe called me from Harriman this afternoon, just before I left to office to tell me that he received five new members into his church on Sunday! Praise the Lord. Five may not sound like a lot in our larger churches, but for the smaller ones, it is great!
I also received a call from a minister in another church wanting to join the Church of God of Prophecy and help us in the mission field called Tennessee. I meet with him next week. He is another in a long-line of ministers that God is sending our way. Praise the Lord for His goodness.
To all of the pastors and other leaders in the State of Tennessee, let me finally say thank you for the sacrifice you and your family make for our people in Tennessee. We have the finest church folks anywhere in the world, right here in Tennessee.
May God bless all of you!
