2010 Team UP Leadership Conference

As the week closes, a multitude of our leaders from all levels of leadership are traveling home (of course the closer delegates are home by now) with their hearts filled from the past four-days of teaching, worship and fellowship at the Embassy Suites Hotel and Convention Center in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. This was a joint effort within the leadership ranks of our churches to reach out and develop ourselves to be better ministers of the Gospel, particularly to the young harvest around us.

We had a good representation from the pastors, and local church leaders in Tennessee, and everyone I spoke with enjoyed the conference and received a great deal of material and fresh inspiration.

Bishop Sam Clements, the North American General Presbyter, along with Trevor and Ailene Reid, International Youth Ministries Team and Katherine Creasy, International Children's Ministries director were the co-hosts of the conference. Along with these ministries, all but two of the North American Overseers attended, along with the General Overseer and a total of three General Presybters (four counting Bishop Clements). Other International appointees were in attendance. There were delegates from all over the United States and from as far away as Argentina.

We are privileged to have such great leaders to work with in this church, and in the past days we have seen our CORE values in action as we Prayed, Developed Leaders and made preparations to get into the harvest.

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
