Amen Bro Rambo.

Pastorsa1, Best to ask question about specific areas.

They did consolidated some states.

South Carolina has an Iterim State Overseer Fred Fisher SR.
Ken Baker stepped down.

Bro Randy appears to have given himself Larry Duncans Position.
Bro. Duncan stepped down.

Wayne Hall is no longer heritage care. Not sure who replaced him.



I did not hear clear the new Youth Director. It was a couple..

WOW! Thanks

there was over an hours worth of information. did you have something in mind specific?

I'm sorry! Good Point Billy.

What State overseers were changed or states combined?

Two youth Directors?

Youth Director is Trevor Reid (and his wife), pastor from Canada.
Paul Holt is over Heritage Ministries/FoW.
LD&D is 'temporarily' R. Howard, as well as South America, etc.
Colorado was added to the mid-west region (Iowa, Neb, MN).
Louisiana added to Mississippi (I think?)
Michiana combined with/Wisc.

My question:
Anyone understand what Sherman Allen meant concerning Levi Clarke as an "Area Presbyter" of some sort for Africa? Didn't get it.

Africa is growing by leaps and bounds to my understanding. Sherman Allen has something like 19 Regions under him and there spread out a great deal. I think their creating a position to relieve some of the pressure.

Check out these stats from the GA 2 years ago:
North America - 84,762 members, 1,871 churches, 4,509 ministers
Africa - 483,061 members, 1,767 churches, 721 ministers

Midwest region is now Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska and Colorado, now overseer is Jessie Yanez as mentioned. the two previous overseers (Colorado and MWR) are not reassigned!

Did Steve Madrid get a position at IO or is he back to pastorate?

How was the GA?

Why so many states combined?

I was raised in CoGop but have been in CoG for over 20 years now.

Thanks.

Ok. If they see it as a need, cool. They definitely have more members than all the other areas, but not more regions, churches, or ministers...

I noted that the Unkrainian overseer is also Senior Pastor of the local church in Kiev. With strong local churches, I think its a pattern that could be followed in the US also with struggling states/regions...2 cents.
