McMinnville Area Meeting

Once again, the Lord met us in a powerful way at our District Leadership Meeting. Pastor Michael Harris opened the service, and then turned it to Bishop A.J. Coalter, our District Presbyter for this area of Tennessee.

The platform was filled with musicians and singers, and the congregation pressed together to make more room for the excited worshippers. Just about the time for the sermon, a side door opened and a large crowed from Battlefront Ministries came in, excited about what the Lord was doing. Chairs had already been set in the aisles before this large group arrive, and everyone had to get really close to make room! What a problem to have!

There was an amazing anointing during the message and the altar service was powerful as the Lord moved among His people. As people's needs were met, a fresh move of the Holy Spirit blew through the building. God is good!

After the service, the host church, McMinnville (North Hills) served refreshments in their fellowship building, and the saints enjoyed the fellowship as new friends were made, and old friends recounted their memories.

There will be only one more of these meetings for this year, the concluding service to be at the Tullahoma Church next Sunday night. We hope you will be with us, but you need to come early to be sure you get a seat. The service begins at 6:00 p.m.

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...
