International Children’s Ministries Conference

These last few days Debra and I have been blessed to attend this conference hosted by the Church of God of Prophecy’s International Ministries. The site of the conference was the Ridgecrest Conference center located just outside Black Mountain, North Carolina.

The churches of Tennessee were well represented by children’s ministries workers from across the state. Also this year, one of our Pastors, Larry (Bubba Meadors) from the Lebanon church attended and was a great blessing to his folks.

State Children’s Ministries director, Kim Batson represented us well as she ministered throughout the weekend. I hope that next year more of our pastors will be able to attend the conference.

As always, Kathy Creasy our International Director and her staff put together a conference that will be remembered for it’s excellence, and in the final session our General Overseer Bishop Randall Howard a challenge that was both inspired and anointed.

Special thanks to all the local churches that participated.

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...
