Last call...

[Pastor Gary]

I head to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia for the Asia/Oceania Leadership Meeting early Tuesday morning. At that meeting there will be discussion about selection of the next COGOP General Overseer. If you have any input for me, this is the last call.

I head to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia for the Asia/Oceania Leadership Meeting early Tuesday morning. At that meeting there will be discussion about selection of the next COGOP General Overseer. If you have any input for me, this is the last call.

You Asked! So here goes.

1. Someone From the U.S.: Even though I am about missions I think someone from outside the US would send shock waves through the organization.

2 Male: Because so much of the organization membership is outside the U.S. and particular Africa (male dominated society) it could have serious repercussions at this time.

3. If possible someone who does not have Family Name linage. This may seem unfair but their needs to be a clean break and freh ideas and direction not a continuation of the past

4. Again If possible someone outside the South Eastern Stronghold. Opening up again, new ideas, new directions and helping break what seems to be stagnation in the same old areas.

5. Does not have to come from the ranks of S.O. or headquarter officials. I know the presbters have excluded themselves) Not opposed if he does as long as he meets the above criteria.

6. Education is important but not the determining factor.

7. To me the most important.. He should not be drafted. It must bear witness in his Spirit. Even if he feels unqualified but their is a knowing that it is right.

So there you have it......Remember you asked.

I did ask, and appreciate the wisdom of your response. I agree with much of what you wrote.
