College/Career Weekend

A BOOST FROM MY FRIEND KIRK RISING

God bless everyone!!!

This is Kirk Rising, State Youth Director in North Carolina! I just wanted to make all Overseers aware of the CCMN (College and Careers Ministries Network) website and upcoming events! We are going to be in Myrtle Beach, SC. Jan 4-6, 2008. The cost for this week-end is $30.00 ($40.00 at the door). The hotel information is on the our website. (These rooms sleep from 6 to 14! Living rooms, kitchens etc. Most are condo's) This is a very affordable week-end! This week-end is for College and University students, young single professionals and young married.

There will be a learning tract for each group. We are trying to fill the gap of our youth ministry to help curve the loss of college students and career path young adults. We hope this week-end will benefit your state and local churches. Sis Palma Hutchinson, our General Youth Director, is boosting this from General Headquarters. I have sent emails to most state and regional youth coordinators. We would also love to have your participation in this week-end. (Bring the wife, shop a little . . . . you get the picture!) The website to register online is www.ccmnetwork.org.

Please be in prayer for this week-end!

Making Heaven My Home,

Kirk Rising

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...
