Tennessee Ladies Day

This past couple of days were a great time of SANCTUARY at Camp Hickory Hills, where the Tennessee Ladies Day grabbed our attention. As always, Londa Richardson and her team were the example of excellence in ministry. Thank you!

On Friday night, Karen Wheaton ministered to the ladies in song and in word, and we were so blessed to meet her, and hear her testimony of growing up in the Church of God of Prophecy, and her time as the "Gleaner" leader of her local church. She is doing a great work among young people at her ministry known as "the ramp."

On Saturday morning, Becca Stevens, Episcopal priest and author shared about the love of God in action! I believe we were all amazed to hear the wonderful story of the work she does with women in crisis.

On Saturday afternoon, Sharon Farruggia of Harvest Fellowship Church in Knoxville brought a powerful word to the congregation! It was a well-timed word.

The worship, led by June Gordon of Abundant Grace in Memphis and her team (from different churches in Tennessee) brought the house down with their anointed, spirited worship.

All in all 2009 Ladies Day will go down in the records as one of the best ever. Attendance was super and we actually ran out of room at our spacious campground facilities. Thanks to all who made it a great success.

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.

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...
