God's Protection Tesimony

This is from Nathan and LaNada Tag, daughter and family of Dr. Freddie Harding, Cumberland Plateau District Presbyter. Having traveled that area of the world for four years in all types of weather, I can identify with just how large this miracle is:

Dear praying friends and family,

“I love You, O Lord, my strength.” The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, My God, my rock, in whom I take refuge; My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold." Psalms 18:1,2

Yesterday God was our deliverer, strength and refuge. We were in a very bad car accident in the badlands of South Dakota and as our car tumbled out of control God delivered us from serious injury. Thank you Lord!!! You are to be praised!!!
We lost control of our car on slick roads and rolled 3 times before coming to rest on a fence along the interstate. LaNada cut her head and we went to the hospital for several stitches and some x-rays to make sure there was no damage to her back. Alaiyah and Anikah suffered no injuries at all and Nathan suffered only some minor scratches and some bruises to his arm from trying to smash out a window with is elbow. We thank God for protecting us. It was as if He reached down and put his hands around us in a mangled car. It is impossible to put into words our gratitude to Him. Thank you Lord. As Alaiyah said after the accident "Mommy, Daddy, God is our hiding place. He protected us."

Today Nathan's Aunt and Uncle are driving from Iowa to get us and our things (we are staying in a hotel in Wall, SD now). We will go to their house and pray on our knees how to get from Iowa to Tennessee. We know He will provide. Pray for LaNada's head and back to heal quickly. Pray for the emotional health of all of us. Pray for us as we travel on the slick roads of South Dakota today to Iowa. Pray for the details of getting to Tennessee. Pray for a car for us and wisdom in that area. Pray for a way to get from Tennessee to Arizona and back in January. So many things that seem so insignificant now as we hug and hold each other and thank God over and over for His protection.

With much love and thanks for your prayers,
Nathan, LaNada,Alaiyah and Anikah Tag"

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...
