Looking forward to the harvest....

Now that our Tennessee State Convention is over, there are a few things that I would like to update all of you on.

1. During our vision casting session, I shared that we are going to work toward a "team" focus on two particular areas....harvest and discipleship. It seems to me that anything outside of these areas will take us away from the primacy of the great commission given by Jesus in Matthew 28. Please watch this blog for updated ideas.

2. During the appointment updates, there were several churches listed as training centers and others listed as "to be announced." Also watch here as we update the current list. I will be updating the church list on the website, but it will take a few days before I can get to it. You can see the list when it is updated by going to the state website (http://tncogop.org) and clicking on the "resource" list.

3. There will also be an updated list of committees, and their particular area of focus as we move on.

Finally, I believe that the Lord has great things in store for the ministers and ministries of the Church of God of Prophecy in Tennessee. I trust we can make this journey TOGETHER!
