Long-time gone

It seems as if its been a month since I've posted to this blog. Of course, I can simply check the blog to see that I posted earlier in the week.

I was in Cleveland yesterday, where I brought the devotion at the upper-room prayer service for the International Offices staff. I really felt like the Lord gave me a word for them, and it was great to worship with such wonderful people. Yesterday was also my wife, Debra's birthday and since this trip coincided with her birthday, I was able to give her what she wanted more than anything....the whole day with our granddaughter, Reagan.

Today, I am scheduled to participate in a press conference in Cleveland for the National Day of Prayer. The press conference will be followed by a prayer luncheon at the Holiday Inn. I am honored to be participating in this event, and I do hope that our churches, and especially our ministry will be involved in the events. We will be back in the office late today.

Thanks for checking in. God bless.

After all, this chapter is about faith, and what better way to teach faith than to illustrate with some real-life examples.

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...

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...
