By Dr. A.D. Beacham, Jr.
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

The annual session of New Horizons Ministries was held at SpiritLife IPHC (formerly Evangelistic Temple) in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The conference had gathered for several nights of services leading to the annual session. I was able to attend the Friday night worship service and all of us were blessed by the anointed preaching of Rev. Steve Ely.<\/p>\n

Bishop Drake and Dr. Beacham acknowledged the presence of former conference superintendents Jim Eby and Dell Hunnicutt. We also recognized former conference assistant superintendent and GBA member Dan Beller and current World Missions Council member Charles Craig. Mr. Johnny Upton was present representing IPHC Extension Loan Fund.<\/p>\n

The annual conference was well attended with several hundred present. The session began with the presiding officer presentation of the General Conference video and remarks about the General Conference. Following that, the Core Value video on Christ\u2019s Kingdom was shown and Dr. Beacham spoke on the IPHC 2017 emphasis on the Kingdom of God.<\/p>\n

L-R: Rev. Dell Hunnicutt, Dr. Dan Beller, Bishop Doug Beacham, Rev. Jim Eby, and Bishop Randell Drake<\/p><\/div>\n

Bishop Randell Drake then gave an inspiring report of the excellent condition of the conference. Bishop Drake is currently the longest serving superintendent in the USA, with fifteen years of service. His experience and wisdom are a great blessing to the conference and general church.<\/p>\n

Bishop Drake recognized numerous leaders in the conference, including the special work of Mrs. Doris Craig. For many years Sister Craig has mailed birthday cards to the NHM senior ministries and her labor of love is deeply appreciated.<\/p>\n

The conference currently has 77 congregations, three satellite congregations, and over 9000 members in Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, and Kansas. Since the 2016 annual conference, three new congregations have been added to the conference: Wichita, Kansas; Muskogee, Oklahoma; and Rogers, Arkansas. There are 13 certified Dynamic Church Planting International leaders who are serving the conference.<\/p>\n

In his personal report, Bishop Drake informed the delegates of his service on the 28th<\/sup> General Conference Bylaws Committee, and his recent position as the Acting Chair of the Board of Regents for Southwestern Christian University.<\/p>\n

He shared his heart related to the conference theme of \u201cGO & TELL!\u201d It is clear that evangelism and church planting are high priorities to the bishop and conference. Bishop Drake closed his report by sharing his life verse, \u201cTrust in the Lord with all your heart. Lean not to your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your path\u201d (Proverbs 3:5, 6).<\/p>\n

Following his report, Bishop Drake recognized Dr. Phil Sallee, director of the conference School of Ministry. 15 men and women were recognized by Dr. Sallee for completing the SOM program. I was particularly encouraged to see so many younger women and men preparing for Christian service!<\/p>\n

Chris Thompson<\/strong> Yo fui tan bendecido de asistir a parte de la reuni\u00f3n del Campamento de Sonshine y de presidir la Conferencia Anual de 2017, el 23 de junio de 2017. Eso me hace casi 60 para m\u00ed. Me gustan las conferencias anuales. Este era sin duda uno de mis favoritos. Llegu\u00e9 temprano para o\u00edr la predicaci\u00f3n del obispo Tony Miller el jueves. Estaba en buena forma. La alabanza y adoraci\u00f3n de Dave y Jennifer Ragan fue impresionante. El obispo Ray Willis est\u00e1 dotado en los principales servicios de reuniones del campamento. Durante el servicio, el obispo Ray hizo que los pastores trajeran muestras del suelo del condado y los directores regionales oraron sobre el suelo. Fue un momento fenomenal en el Se\u00f1or. La conferencia se estaba preparando para un evento similar el viernes por la noche en la Conferencia General. Durante el d\u00eda del jueves, Brian James represent\u00f3 a Emmanuel College. Hizo un excelente trabajo. Comenc\u00e9 algunas palabras sobre Holmes Bible College el viernes. Cada vez que hablo me emociona m\u00e1s la escuela. Emmanuel y Holmes est\u00e1n haciendo un excelente trabajo en la formaci\u00f3n de j\u00f3venes para el futuro. Cuando empez\u00f3 la Conferencia, habl\u00e9 sobre el tema de 2017: \"Valoramos el Reino de Cristo con oraci\u00f3n\" y le dimos una breve devoci\u00f3n sobre c\u00f3mo las generaciones se relacionan con el reino de Cristo. Ambos fueron bien recibidos. Varios l\u00edderes departamentales dieron informes - Discipulado, Misiones y Financiero. Estos fueron dados con mucho entusiasmo y la gente respondi\u00f3 en consecuencia. M\u00e1s de 70 delegados estuvieron presentes para la Conferencia de la ma\u00f1ana. En los servicios de la noche, m\u00e1s de 300 asistieron. La conferencia tiene 106 iglesias con nuevas iglesias siendo plantadas regularmente. Rev. Orren Simpson dio el informe de las memorias. Se mencionaron siete individuos: James Edward (Jake) Anderson Juanita George Bearry George Eduardo Lewis Edward Arthur MacDonald Ted Pressley Donald Roberto Trenschel Iris Grey Worrell Bro. Orren y yo volvemos muchos a\u00f1os. Hizo un trabajo excelente. Fue bueno volver a visitarlo con \u00e9l. Fue un honor para m\u00ed reconocer a dos ex superintendentes: Orren Simpson y Clifton Smith. Ambos hombres son amados y apreciados profundamente. Clifton tambi\u00e9n sirvi\u00f3 al IPHC en misiones. \u00a1\u00c9l todav\u00eda es un tipo encantador !!! El obispo Ray Willis present\u00f3 un desafiante informe del Estado de la Conferencia. Fue uno de los mejores que he escuchado este a\u00f1o. Est\u00e1 lleno de visi\u00f3n y misi\u00f3n. Se centr\u00f3 en cuatro puntos:\r\n

    \r\n \t
  • Sinergia de ministerios e iglesias para lograr el \u00e9xito del reino<\/li>\r\n \t
  • El aumento de la necesidad y la aplicaci\u00f3n de la pr\u00f3xima generaci\u00f3n de \u00e9nfasis y estrategias<\/li>\r\n \t
  • Sonshine Network Ministries ser\u00e1 una conferencia dedicada a las misiones.<\/li>\r\n \t
  • Est\u00e1 decidido a proporcionar recursos, material y entrenamiento para ayudar a facilitar la visi\u00f3n dada por Dios.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nEl obispo Ray es un excelente orador. El viernes por la noche, predic\u00f3 un maravilloso mensaje en la iglesia como \"la luz del mundo\". Hubo un grito en el campamento. Ray Willis es un entrenador \"Master\" con el IPHC y DCPI (Dynamic Church Planting International). \u00c9l es un obispo que se ha hecho disponible para la formaci\u00f3n y se ha asociado extensamente con EVUSA. La conferencia est\u00e1 comenzando a avanzar con plantas \"s\u00f3lidas\" de Iglesia miembro y con la revitalizaci\u00f3n de la iglesia fruct\u00edfera tambi\u00e9n. Bien hecho, Obispo Ray. Estar\u00eda encantado de que te multipliques, se\u00f1or (y con Ray, tienes a Peggy). Tambi\u00e9n puedo decir que Ray tiene uno de los camiones F-350 m\u00e1s hermosos y poderosos en los que he montado. \u00a1Ay\u00fadame, Se\u00f1or! El Superintendente Asistente Donovan Tinsley ley\u00f3 el Informe del Comit\u00e9 de Credenciales. Licencia de Ministro Clifford LeRoy Brooks Licencia de Ministro Curtis J. Clevinger Licencia de Ministro Melissa Jean Ladd Licencia de Ministro Paul Thomas Ladd Licencia de Ministro James L. Philmon Licencia de Ministro Jason Christopher Sellars Victoria Lynn Wilkerson Licencia de Ministro William Shawn Wilkerson Licencia del Ministro David R. Hodges Certificado de Ordenaci\u00f3n Reuben Jackson Certificado de Ordenaci\u00f3n Andrew Christian Walker Certificado de Ordenaci\u00f3n Esta fue una lista bastante diversa. Yo alabo al Se\u00f1or por la diversidad. Creo firmemente que una conferencia debe reflejar a las personas que viven en el \u00e1rea geogr\u00e1fica. Estaba emocionado de ver Van y Jane Bloss, misioneros de IPHC en la Conferencia. Son misioneros de ense\u00f1anza veteranos. Sigo sus informes y sus publicaciones en Facebook. Obispo Ray y Peggy Willis son unos anfitriones excelentes. Despu\u00e9s de la Conferencia, me trataron de una excelente cocina casera en Fred's - \"donde tienen comida r\u00e1pida r\u00e1pida.\" Disfrut\u00e9 de todas las verduras del sur, especialmente los tomates verdes fritos. Debo hablar una palabra sobre la familia Willis. El padre y la mam\u00e1 de Ray estaban presentes. Eran pastores. Ambos son fuertes y muy ungidos. \u00a1Alabado sea! El hijo de Ray y Peggy, Chad, es un pastor y sirve en el Consejo Ejecutivo de la Conferencia como director regional. Ray y Peggy son \"personas reales\". Son pentecostales y son santidad. Estas parecen ser partes vitales del ADN de la familia.","author_name":"","jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/gso\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2016\/05\/2016-Conference-Recap-Graphic-2.jpg","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pb62Bx-ml","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/gso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1385","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/gso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/gso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/gso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/gso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1385"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/gso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1385\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/gso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/855"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/gso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1385"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/gso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1385"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/gso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1385"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
