At the end of another full week

This last week's travels have been so hectic that I haven't had time to post on a regular basis...for that I apologize. After returning home late Sunday night from Cleveland where I participated in the Global Day of Prayer event, I left the next evening to return to Cleveland again to participate in Unity of Ministry Committee meetings on Tuesday and Wednesday.

At the conclusion of the Wednesday night meeting (around 10:00 p.m.) I returned again to Hendersonville in order to try to catch up on work.

The next morning (Thursday) we left Hendersonville and traveled to Columbus, Georgia where I was the commencement speaker for the graduating class of 2007. It was a great event that went very well. I've included a photo here of a portion of the program, and am looking forward to returning to Tennessee in the morning.

Now...well, its full-speed ahead to the State Convention in Chattanooga next month. We are looking forward with anticipation.

For those of you who continually tell me you are praying for us, I want you to know how much we appreciate it. They have sustained us in the past 30 days of difficult, almost impossible schedules. God bless you.

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.

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...
