Revival Services - Brooksville, Florida

Dear Friends,

I know that in the past few days my posts have not been as regular as I try to make them. I have been in a revival in Brooksville, Florida at the Church of God of Prophecy.

Bishop Jerry and Sonja Wood hosted the revival, and we were blessed to have Bishop Elwood and Roberta Matthews with us in every service except one. The Florida State Overseer, Bishop Larry Dotson and his wife Frankie were able to attend one evening, and I had the opportunity to visit Bishop Dotson at his office in Orlando to discuss several church-related issues, since he serves as the Chairman of the International Finance and Stewardship Committee.

We had six saved during the revival, and the pastor will be conducting a baptismal service, and will be receiving new members into the church there, as a result of the revival services.

While I was away for the five services, I still stayed up on office work via the internet and telephone.

I thank God for His wonderful grace, and for blessing us at the revival.

I returned from Florida at 3:58 p.m. and drove directly to Lake Barkley for the Regional Ladies Retreat that begins tomorrow. I will be giving updates from the retreat on our blog. God bless.

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...
