To State Overseers and Regional/State Youth Directors:

With the cancellation of the Pittsburgh youth conference, we want to encourage you to boost and promote CONNECT '07 Jan 19-21, 2007 in Gatlinburg, TN. It is sponsored by CCMN (College and Careers Ministries Network, a ministry of the COGOP) of North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Virginia. We have confirmed participation response from Tennessee, Kentucky and our Southeast and Northeast Spanish Regions.

CONNECT '07. is a week-end designed for college and career students and young adults. We are joining together as a force for the Kingdom of God! The poster for the event and more information are at www.ccmnetwork.org . We now have college youth, and career young adults from 7 states and 3 countries as members in the ministry.

The intentions for our college youth focus is, to connect them with the ministry (CCMN), then connect them with a vibrant youth pastor or vibrant church where they are attending school. This will connect them with a "surrogate" youth group or local church which keeps them connected back to their local bodies. Hopefully, as we stay connected to them, we can turn the tide of losing our youth, and them losing their relationship with our Lord, Jesus! Our career focus is to establish these young adults with their local churches and encourage them to become a part of ministry and leadership. To make them "active" members and solidify their commitment to their local church. CCMN is also a support system for young adults. There is spiritual accountability, and a friend who they can depend on.

We have started the ball rolling. The young adults are connecting themselves. They have a desire to expand their horizons and they are looking for opportunities to minister. We are trying to make that happen. CONNECT '07 will continue to expand CCMN in new territories. College and career young adults can go to the website, www.ccmnetwork.org and download the poster and registration form, or register online. Palma Hutchinson, our General Youth Director is on board and supporting this week-end.

We hope this ministry will be of benefit in your state. The college and career youth are really taking off with this concept. It is amazing what God is doing. See You In Gatlinburg!!

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
