1Night lock in

Bro. McKinley-

Just wanted to let you know about the 4th annual 1Night lock-in held last night at the Gallatin Civic Center.

Around 190 youth showed up for a night of games, fun,a lot of give aways, and a lot of food.  Robby George put together an excellent staff that was prepared to show the love of Christ to kids from across the midstate area.

Pastor Bobby Peoples presented a challenge for the youth to not believe the lies the world has spoken about them but to live the truth of Christ.  Eleven  young people responded to the call to accept Christ or to be strengthened in their walk with Christ.

This was followed by a challenge by Senior Camp director, Victor Rodriguez, for them to be bold in their faith and not to be ashamed.  Victor also plugged Senior and Teen Camps, inviting a large group of youth that normally do not attend our camps at Camp Hickory Hills.

It was an excellent job by Robby and Beth George and their staff.  Thank you to all the volunteers from Lakeside, Bellshire, Roberts Tabernacle, Portland, and Watertown.  A big thank you to the Pedigo family from Roberts Tabernacle for all of the donations the got for the lock-in.

And last, but definitely not least, thank you to our Lord for providing safety, wisdom, love, and salvation for the young people at 1Night.

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...
