Busy, busy, busy...


This last week saw a busy, but productive week in the lives of those around the state office. During the week, we finally got our internet issues solved with the replacement of equipment. Hopefully, before the end of the month, we will be completely at 100%.

Yesterday, Debra and I made the trip to Bunker Hill, Indiana which is about an hour north of Indianapolis. We came up so that I could officiate the wedding of my youngest niece, Geneva today (Saturday). Many of you would probably know Ginny you saw her (I will try to put up a picture or two tomorrow or the next day) since she is active in youth conferences.

Ginny's mother is my younger sister. My sister Mary and her husband Bishop Victor Pearson are pastors at the Kokomo, Indiana Church of God of Prophecy. The groom, Eric Barker is the son of Rich and Kathy Barker, pastors at the Sheridan, Indiana Church of God of Prophecy.

As I said the wedding is today at 2:30 p.m., and almost immediately after the ceremony, we will be on our way back to the great State of Tennessee, hoping to get in there late tonight (about 500 miles).

While on the subject of last week, I've heard great reports from some of our hard working pastors about baptisms and new members joining our churches. We can have 10,000 members by 2010, and I am anxious to the Lord bring it all about! God bless

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...

Prayer Request

Yesterday and today have been filled with non-stop preparations and meetings for the General Assembly. The State/National Overseers will be traveling to begin meeting this week in Nashville. Will you please join me in prayer for travel mercies for all of those on their way to Nashville? Also, Sister Wilma Massengale is still in Vanderbilt Hospital in Nashville. This precious lady and her family need our prayer support, and I hope you will join me in prayer for them, believing the Lord is able to meet their need.
