The quadrennial conference was hosted at the Orlando Marriott Lake Mary Hotel, Lake Mary, Florida.<\/p>\n<p>Preceding the Quadrennial Conference session, SNM celebrated their annual Summer Celebration C3 (Come, Connect and Celebrate together). The guest speaker on Wednesday night, June 20, was Dr. Marcus Rosier and Thursday night, June 21, Pastor Ronnie Harrison.\u00a0\u00a0In the Friday evening service, I had the privilege of ordaining two pastors and then the re-elected conference superintendent, Bishop Willis, preached.\u00a0\u00a0The conference also used this occasion to honor Ray and Peggy for their service over the course of the past quadrennium.<\/p>\n<p>At the start of the conference session Friday morning, there were 227 registered delegates in attendance in addition to many guests\/exhibitors.<\/p>\n<p>Bishop Willis opened his <em>State of the Conference Report <\/em>by stating:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is no secret to any of you who have been part of this conference for the past eight years that we have focused like a laser on connections. It has been the driving force behind every decision and it has been our prayer focus from day one. In my inaugural message in June of 2010, I talked in depth about the fact that you are the strongest where you are joined. I took my text that night from Ephesians 4:16 and talked to you about the fact that \u2018the body is fitly framed and knit together by that which every joint supplies!\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Eight years later, and I can tell you that God has honored our resolute attention to that truth. We\u2019ve seen many churches and ministers who were either out of fellowship, or loosely connected, strengthen their commitment to the conference. The evidence is seen in the attendance at our events, both at a regional level and at the conference level. As I travel, I hear it everywhere I go. There is a growing pride in this conference that is contagious, and more and more people are catching it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>SonShine Network Ministries has an \u2018approved alternate structure\u2019 whereby the conference in session elects three officers (conference superintendent, assistant conference superintendent, and conference secretary\/treasurer) whose names have been \u2018vetted\u2019 by a nominating committee. The officers, in turn, appoint four regional directors.\u00a0\u00a0Together, the seven members comprise the Conference Executive Council:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Conference Superintendent: Bishop Ray Willis<\/li>\n<li>Assistant Conference Superintendent: Rev. Dave Ragan (by acclamation)<\/li>\n<li>Conference Secretary\/Treasurer: Rev. Rachel King<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Clergy credentials were issued as follows:<\/p>\n<p><em>Ordination (2)<\/em> &#8211;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Rev. William Leroy Coburn, Jr.<\/li>\n<li>Rev.

We are still advancing forward as a kingdom force in Florida and South Georgia. Our potential to be a major player in planting churches, supporting world missions, and developing strong churches, is limitless. While we are already doing those things, we haven\u2019t scratched the surface of our potential. We are uniquely positioned and poised to make an impact in the plan of God for these last days. And everything we need is already provided.<\/p>\n<p>SonShine Network Ministries is strong and getting stronger! We are better and getting better! Let me say clearly\u2026We are not where we came from, but we are not where we are going either!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ray and Peggy are wonderful people and great gifts to our IPHC family. May the Lord who has ordered their steps to serve the SonShine Network Ministries Conference for this season now empower them by His Spirit to do so.<\/p>\n<p>I was honored beyond measure to serve our faith family in SonShine Network Ministries in this capacity this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"excerpt","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":855,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","episode_type":"","audio_file":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","filesize_raw":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[510,330,87,125,554,94,467],"class_list":{"0":"post-2422","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-general","8":"tag-510","9":"tag-annual-conference","10":"tag-conference-report","11":"tag-july","12":"tag-quadrennial-conference","13":"tag-recap","14":"tag-sonshine-network-ministries","15":"entry"},"title_es":"Informe cuadrienal de Cornerstone Conference 2018","content_es":"<strong>Por el Dr. AD Beacham, Jr., Funcionario a<\/strong> cargo M\u00e1s de quinientos ministros y delegados laicos se reunieron en la sede de la Conferencia Cornerstone y campamentos en Browns Summit, Carolina del Norte, el s\u00e1bado 9 de junio, para la Conferencia Cuatrienal 2018.

Tambi\u00e9n estuvieron presentes el presidente Chris Thompson y su esposa Betty representando Holmes Bible College, el reverendo Matt Bennett representando a Southwestern Christian University, y el reverendo Tres Ward representando a Emmanuel College.

Tambi\u00e9n estuvieron presentes varios misioneros jubilados y activos de IPHC, entre ellos Hobert y Marguerite Howard, Hugh y Lois Hoyle, y Mitch y Jewell Nichols.

A pesar de retirarse de sus deberes como superintendente de la conferencia, el reverendo Marley seguir\u00e1 activo, predicando en las congregaciones de IPHC en la conferencia y en otras conferencias. Su visi\u00f3n, pasi\u00f3n por Cristo y predicaci\u00f3n entusiasta ser\u00e1n una bendici\u00f3n para los a\u00f1os venideros. Se mostr\u00f3 un video de la vida del reverendo Marley.

Una parte especial del programa fueron los comentarios del obispo McGhee y el obispo Gardner.

Es mi intenci\u00f3n terminar esta carrera y dar lo mejor de m\u00ed hasta que \u00e9l me llame. \"A los Marley se les obsequiaron obsequios especiales y los delegados expresaron c\u00e1lidamente su amor y aprecio con una gran ovaci\u00f3n.
