Dear Friends, It has been quite a while since I've posted something to the blog page that I have used for several years.  As we draw closer to the return of the Lord Jesus Christ, it seems as if there is not even one moment to spare, and the work continues to grow. We had a wonderful Tennessee State Convention at the Omega Center International in Cleveland, TN.  Everyone involved in the preparation and presentation of the convention did a great job and I appreciate their sacrifice and effort to make this a great event. God bless each and every one of you. E.C. McKinley

There is an air of excitement at Camp Hickory Hills today, as campers and staff arrived for the first of the summer camps.  This week is Senior Camp hosting the upper-teen age group.  Please join us in prayer for each and everyone. Our goal is to provide a safe and loving environment for all of those participating, and that they will be spiritually enriched.  The record reflects that in this past year, more people were converted in the camps than in all of our local churches combined.  What does this say?  It says that these camps are invaluable tools that will help increase the Kingdom of God. Thank you for your prayers, we look forward to a great summer. To learn more about our Camping Ministry go to  http://camphickoryhills.org
