Prayer Requests

Debra and I are on our way home from a full day of ministry. Of course I need to mention we were in Cleveland yesterday for visitation to honor Bishop A.J.Coalter.
Funeral services for Bishop A.J. Coalter this morning. I was privileged to be able to make a few comments along with North American Presbyter Bishop Sam N. Clements, Retired Bishop J.E. Brisson and enjoy a great message by Bishop Coalter's son-in-law, Bishop Duke Stone, pastor of the Hickory Vallley.
Our prayers are with Norma Coalter, Bishop Tim Coalter and Shirlene Stone and all the children and grandchildren.
After graveside services by Bishop Tim Coalter, we learned that our Asia/Oceana General Presbyter, Bishop David L. Browder was hospitalized in Cleveland last night for chest pains. We, along with Georgia Bishop Billy Adams and his wife Charlotte Rea Adams went to visit and have prayer for him. While there, we learned that Bishop Wade Patterson had also been admitted, so we went to his room for prayer and a visit. While in Bishop Browder's room, Bishop Sam Clements and Linda Clements arrived and visited with us.
Gotta get home to change clothes, check mail and go again. Looking forward to being at the Ashland City Church tomorrow morning. Please continue to pray for Vernetta Reid and for her family, Winston Reid, Trevor Reid and the rest of the family.

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...

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...
