Junior Camp update....

Hi folks,

You can see by the time stamp that it is almost 1:00 a.m. as I write, because I am still up trying to take care of administrative duties. I stopped just for a moment to check on email I was expecting, and found an unexpected surprise....an email from the Junior Camp evangelist. It speaks for itself, but wanted to share the great news! The following is what I received from Julia Timson:

"Hi! I hate that I missed seeing you at camp yesterday. Anyway, I just wanted to give you an update. We had 41 saved, 36 sanctified, 21 filled with the Holy Ghost and 59 baptized. Since I am not a licensed minister I thought you could add this to your report. God is so AWESOME!!! I have never witnessed so many children seeking the Holy Ghost at one time. It was truly one of the most incredible moments of my life. The kids were so hungry for the Lord. He never ceases to amaze me!"

Four of the junior campers from Huntingdon were tremendously blessed. They were testifying of the experiences (salvation, sanctification and Holy Ghost baptism) when they were waiting for their parents at the parsonage. Thank God for Youth Camp and dedicated, committed workers. I'll never forget the days I attended as a youth and attended and served on staff.

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...
