Let me share some more pictures with you from our recent trip in attending the 54th General Council of the Assemblies of God in Phoenix, Arizona.

Once again it was a powerful time of ministry, business, and meeting tons of friends both from CBC, as well as over 28 years of pastoral ministry in the Assemblies of God (connected with lots of people from previous churches and also Districts). It is realistically our national convention that convenes once every two years in a different city across the United States. Tammy and I love participating in all of the activities of GC!

We were also able to visit American Indian College there in Phoenix where my brother-in-law Dr. David DeGarmo is the President. It was a great connection with where my sister and her family are serving through an A/G U.S. Missions appointment.

On Sunday we worshiped @ Phoenix First Assembly and heard Pastor Tommy Barnett preach a message entitled, "From Generation to Generation." This is one of our flagship churches in the Assemblies of God numbering more than 4,000 people in weekly service experiences. It deeply touched my heart to witness around 30-50 people respond to the salvation invitation at the end of the service. Pastor Barnett is passionate about winning souls for His kingdom!

Trust this photo journal provides you with a birds-eye view into the activities of our A/G General Council.

Love to all!

Tammy and I are attending General Council 2011 for the Assemblies of God in Phoenix, Arizona. Thought I would post a few pictures to allow you a glimpse of the activity, displays, services and Fine Arts Festival presentations that fill this GC '11 week. Tonight we caught up with our youth team participating in the AIM event/FAF. We snapped a few pictures after the service tonight with Pastor Clint & Kelly and the Refuge Missions Team...our kids are having a blast!!

Keep the GC '11 remaining business sessions, services and outreach activities here in Phoenix in your prayers!

We love the energy and passion of the Assemblies of God global family...what a dynamite fellowship!


Things are looking up!!

Love to all.
