There will be a few changes in State/National Overseers at this Assembly -- (some people will get prayers answered!) -- and the shifts in the way we are handling ministry development will ultimately be very positive and good for COGOP. I'll leave the details to the public announcements on the floor, but I will say that a serious effort is being made to improve the training and formal educational level of our leaders, including Overseers.

There were LOTS of people registering their Proxies today, and more expected in the morning. It remains to be seen how that will all play out in the actual operation, but there is a good, well-organized system in place for the registration. (I don't know how much Shaun McKinley gets paid, but it is not enough. The guy is everywhere, doing everything, and does it all with grace and a smile.)

I am wiped out, and the first session has not yet begun. Today I was in meetings from 9 am to after 10 pm and ate McDonald's in my room at 11. The Overseers get that special seating section over on the right, and you might think it is because they are "special" -- it is not. They want us where they can find us fast.

If I had been smarter, I would have had someone else carry the Hawaii proxies, and would have skipped most of tomorrow to SLEEP!

Next time, you will...
Are you still on Hawaii time? I always say going East-from-West is hardest, but jet lag is never fun.

It sounds great, wish we were there!

PG I am praying that you will have strength through all this and that God will bless you

Thanks for the updates...my car broke down and I'm not able to be there like I wanted.

I just heard the other day that TN's overseer is going to IO. Not sure how factual this is.

The Texas overseer is...not sure about the Tennessee overseer

Yes, I read about the TX guy on here. Just heard about TN the other day. May or may not be true, though.

Ohhhhhhhh.........the mystery of it all is awesome!!!!

I gave TCOG a little smack. I have to be a non-discriminatory "smacker".

It isn't going to matter one whit about who winds up where. It's the great deck shuffle! Same issues.....different guy!

And I was there...........I know this first hand!!!!

Ya'll have a good time!

You are so right! I just had to "stir the pot" by sharing what I'd heard. Shame on me...

Pastor Chip, you better be careful.....you will be in the same pot with Gerald. Some people don't like their pots to be "stirred"....

I know of 4 changes but unfortunately....I can't share them! Bummer! As I was told, everything is just rumor until it's announced from the podium! But everything I was told (if it happens) seems to be for the better. Randy Howard is moving things in the right direction and doing a great job!

They don't call me "fearless Chip" for nothing. LOL

I guess you can tell I care about appointments... Jet-lag is more interesting! J/K
