Jude 2

We finished the weekend of having a regional LDI, featuring Sister Jan Couch and Bishop Adrian Varlack. Then he came and spoke at our church.

my two most FAVORITESTEST COGOP teachers all at the same time - this was such a blessing for me, that I can't hardly put it into words.

I understand from them, that our regional LDI is (thus far), the biggest they have seen, and know of - we had 73 registered students!

Because our church basement was flooded, we had to move at the last minute and a local Open Bible church helped us out, they had great facilities.

I love to hear adrian Varlack speak. He is awesome!

Great pictures. I love those two songs on the screen. It made me feel at home..

Should have been the General Overseer after Tomlinson. That's my 2 Ex-COGOP cents worth.

would have to agree with you on this. sharp mind, powerful speaker, great compassion.

this came up when Brother Fisher retired. I understand that he didn't want to be GO. I don't know about years back, but in the last couple years, that was how he felt about it.

Well, my Lord, would you - THEN? Good grief, by that time they had gone through the Murray years AND the Fisher years, and he (Varlack) had been washed, wrung out and hung on a line.

The anointing on Adrian Varlack was/is one to be desired, so much so that, at the time, IMHO, his vision and commanding presence were so strong they seemed "threatening."

Adrian Varlack is my friend. I love he and his entire family. His children are like my own. I say all I say with nothing but respect and admiration for a man that, regardless of rank, changed the course of many a Christian's walk, including mine. And in the end, that is way more powerful than changing an organization.

Would I? asking the wrong guy. I only know of Murray years from what I have read about. I only know of the last half of the fisher years, and honestly the changes were something that I personally thought were the right direction.

I can only imagine based on what I know of him now!

understood. I have met him on several occasions (though I am sure I was just another face in teh crowd to him), and he is one that if I were to want to be like any man in anointing and spirit, would be him.

Rambopreacher, thanks for sharing those pictures.. we love Brother Varlack. Open Bible is my roots, in fact my parents graduated from Open Bible college when I was a little girl. We lived in Eugene, Oregon in a caretaker's house for an elderly millionaire.

I would have agreed at the time. But I think Randy Howard is doing a fine job. I've heard nothing but good things about him and the job he's doing. So far I'm impressed! And if Varlack would have become GO we wouldn't have Howard now and I like what he's doing.

If you haven't heard anything bad about him, maybe he's not doing as much as you think. A good leader always has people talking bad about him...just kidding...sort of.

I've heard plenty about him and it's all been positive! I think he'll lead this organization in the direction that God would have it to go.

sorry, stevenson, it was a joke. I agree with you.
