SPECIAL NOTE TO PASTORS AND CONGREGATIONS

Notice to Pastors and Congregations of Tennessee
Rom 16:17-18

"Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.

For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple."

I am saddened there is a need for me to post the following correspondence from our North American Presbyter. I am aware of this, and that some of our pastors have been contacted. I am trusting none of our congregations will be deceived or taken advantage of by former overseers, and I encourage you to refrain from having this minister preach in our pulpits. It is indeed unfortunate that people who leave the Church of God of Prophecy feel it necessary to make our churches their mission field instead of reaching out to the countless millions of lost people.
Please read the correspondence from Bishop Clements:

Once again it seems necessary to send a reminder regarding the status of Boonyong Bureenok. We have received information here at the International Offices again this week that Boon is still making contacts with our North America pastors and congregations.

Boonyong Bureenok Appeals

Boonyong Bureenok, former overseer of Thailand, was involved in an extended discipline process and was removed as Field Secretary of Thailand by the General Presbyter of Asia/Oceania, Bishop David Browder, in consultation with the body of Asia overseers in June 2008. He was not appointed to any leadership position at the 95th International Assembly. He holds no license with the Church and is no longer associated with us in any official capacity. Any fundraising appeals by Boonyong Bureenok are not authorized by the International Office since he has no accountability to our leadership or the International Office. It is our understanding that he is now with another group and is representing their activities.
Feel free to contact Bishop Browder (who is serving as overseer of Thailand and is seeking to revitalize our work there) or the International Offices if you have further questions.

Please be sure all of your pastors are again made aware and reminded of the status of Booneyong Bureenok with the Church of God of Prophecy.

Sincerely,

Sam Clements

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...

Prayer Request

Yesterday and today have been filled with non-stop preparations and meetings for the General Assembly. The State/National Overseers will be traveling to begin meeting this week in Nashville. Will you please join me in prayer for travel mercies for all of those on their way to Nashville? Also, Sister Wilma Massengale is still in Vanderbilt Hospital in Nashville.
