Empowered Ministries - Dickson

Yesterday morning, Debra and I were so blessed to worship with the Empowered Ministries church in Dickson, under the direction of Mike and Rhonda Jennettee. There were 82 people in attendance, at this our first visit to the church and the pastor informed me that there were over a dozen people away for the Sunday due to vacations etc., that would normally be there for services.

The worship was great and the warmth of the people evident at the meeting.

Brother Mike is amember ofour church and is currently in the licensure process. His new church plant in Dickson is about six-months-old, and very encouraging.

After the service, we had a nice lunch with the appointed leadership of the church and discussed numerous subjects, including the polity of the Church of God of Prophecy.

Following lunch we visited their new location that is under renovation, preparing for their first services (hopefully soon). The new location has great visibility and is located on Highway 70 at the edge of Dickson.

Please help me pray for their success. God bless you, and thanks for stopping by our blog today.

Come Down From That Ivory Tower

Hebrews 11 has become known as the "Hall of Faith." The reason is quite simple. The writer spends a great deal of time giving a role call of the heroes of the faith. After all, this chapter is about faith, and what better way to teach faith than to illustrate with some real-life examples. Mos of the people in this chapter are well-known, at least by anyone who spent time squirming in a Sunday School class as a small child, or who watched the late-night movies on the local channels featuring their stories. 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...
