Some changes coming at the Assembly

[Pastor Bill]

I won't get to be there Sunday, I hope we're not going to see a change, but you all will have to fill me in.

[Dr. Ron]

Pastor Bill,
Are you telling me that Scott wouldn't inform his men if he were moving? I can't imagine a man as open and forthright as he not doing that. lol

I am sure Ky. will get a good man....and things will go along smoothly....just as they have for years.....I wouldn't lose one eyeblink of sleep over it.

It has never mattered a great deal who was there before.....why should it now?

Come on ..........lighten up and let's have some fun with all this.

[Pastor Chip]

Dr. Ron--Did you hit the "submit" button 2 more times by accident or were you trying to make a point by posting the same thing 3 times?

[Dr. Ron]

Chip,
I don't know how that happened.....trying to increase my post count I guess.

Anyway I saw Bill a bit ago and he didn't mention it....

Just now saw this.

I don't know, I haven't heard anything about him moving, but while he is very open with us, I also know that there are times when announcing things early isn't the best thing either.

If there is a change coming, I'd say he's let those closest to him know, but I'm not necessarily on that inside track either.

[Brenda]

Our S.O. will have two more states added to his care..
We will then be known as the "Great Lakes Region."

[Rob]

Scott is coming back.

[stevenson]

We are creaing more & more Regions as our states become smaller. I'm hoping and praying that doesn't continue and that we start to grow. COG has 2 Overseers for Ohio while COGOP groups Ohio & West Virginia together as a Region.

From the sound of things that I have heard we are going to be combining more and more states together. Michigan & Indiana & Illinios & Wisconsin. Mississippi & Louisiana. Iowa & Nebraska & Colorado. From what I've heard.

[stevenson]

Sounds like you heard what I heard!

[RamboPreacher]

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.)...

Haven't heard the changes yet. or did i miss something? We had been working with our overseer and Dr. Bishop Ortiz on getting an Gordon Conwell charter in our region.

I am not sure what's going to happen now. We are losing our current overseer. our tri-state region is becoming a quad-state region, with a new overseer (from Texas), and I also understand Dr. Ortiz is going to be going to Cleveland for an HQ position?

as to the proxy situation, I believe it went very well. of course as a geek that is at least semi-conscious of security issues in IT; I wondered if the shrink-wrap scanner/transmitters could be hacked. Not that I would, but there is malevolent folks with at least my experience out there.

ALSO:
I have had at least three people stop me and ask if i was RamboPreacher, and when I ask who they are, they said they are lurkers, so I wouldn't know them.

Hi, lurkers!! I am glad to have met you all!!

Nice to meet you too! Still think we need a secret lurker
handshake, fish in the sand, or something!

Maybe next GA, all the Jude2ers can were a pin that says "Jude2".
