Some changes coming at the Assembly

Postby Pastor Gary » August 11th, 2008, 7:13 pm

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. :lol: :lol: :lol:

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

you surround them with your favor as with a shield." (Psalm 5:12)

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!

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

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

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

You are so right! I just had to "stir the pot" by sharing what I'd heard. 8) Shame on me...

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!
