International Properties Report and Survey

Dear Friends,

Many of you know by now that the Administrative committee hired an outside consulting firm to evaluate and make recommendations concerning our International Office Building complex, Tomlinson College Campus and Fields of the Wood. This evaluation is an effort to ensure that we are good stewards of God's properties managed by this church and to try to recognize how they fit into our core values and purposes.

On February 23-25, 2011 we are hosting the First Term of the Tennessee School of Practical and Advanced Studies at Camp Hickory Hills, located at 955 Wilson Hollow Road, Dickson, TN 37055. With instructors from the International Center for Biblical Leadership teaching these classes, we will be offering a great opportunity for you to participate in this excellent material from anointed and qualified leaders, Bishops Mark Menke, Adrian Varlack and Dr. Hector Ortiz.

On Thursday night of the school FEBRUARY 24, 2011 we will be honored to have Bishop S. Paul Holt, the International Director of the Finance and Stewardship Department of the Church of God of Prophecy, and member of the Administrative Committee with us to share the results of this study.

Bishop Holt is a well-known and much loved Tennessee minister who now occupies a place of prominence on our International Staff. In this presentation, he will present the findings of ARKS Inc., and will give you the time to ask your questions and express your concerns.

This meeting will begin at 7:00 p.m. and will be open to anyone, NOT JUST THOSE ATTENDING THE SCHOOL. This is going to be an added benefit to the school as an additional session, but will be OPEN TO YOU.

I do hope you will join us. If you need accommodations, we can plan for you to spend the night on the campground and can include you in breakfast the next morning, but WE MUST KNOW you plan to do this. Any further inquiries may be sent to Bishop McKinley at ecmckinley@mac.com

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 question about your church...

This last few days I have been in the State of Kentucky. I came here with my wife, whose father was having medical tests as of the results of a probable heart attack. He seems to be doing well (as of tonight) and is scheduled for one more test, then hopefully he will be released and further treatments to bring him to health. While this is a scary moment for my wife's family it has also been a time to step away from the daily work and observe others around us. Since Debra's father is a pastor (Church of God of Prophecy, Central City, KY) there have been visits from the State Presiding Bishop, Scott Gillum, area pastors and of course some of his church members. It is heartening to watch the love and concern that is show by those visiting. There has also been quite a few of Debra's extended family here, along with her younger brother and his family. I've watch the nurses and technicians at the Owensboro Medical Center demonstrate concern and what seems to be good care
