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

 <\/p>\n

It was an honor to attend and preside over the Tennessee Valley Conference (TVC) Friday afternoon, August 3, 2018, at Compassion Church in Germantown, Tennessee.<\/p>\n

Bishop Manuel Pate began the session by leading in a communion service. Following the communion service, I presented the IPHC core value emphasis for 2018, We Prayerfully Value All Generations.<\/p>\n

When I stood to speak, I noticed that the attendance was the best I have seen at the conference since I began presiding 17 years ago. I was overjoyed to see the faithful men and women who have been with the conference for many years as well as the larger group of younger men and women, most in their twenties and thirties.<\/p>\n

The Credentials Committee presented the following:<\/p>\n

Local Church Minister\u2019s License:<\/strong> Svetlana Krioutchkov, Aleksandr Volosevich, and<\/u> Greg Pearl. On a special note, Svetlana and Aleksandr are a part of Living Israel, a ministry partner with IPHC World Missions Ministries which has a branch in Brooklyn, New York, and Scranton, Pennsylvania. The USA connection of local ministry occurs through a relationship with the Tennessee Valley Conference. We are thankful for the close relationship of this ministry with an established IPHC USA conference. Living Israel focuses much of its ministry in Israel, the USA, and other nations on Russian speaking Jews.<\/p>\n

Minister\u2019s License:<\/strong> Scott Worley, Bill Lotz, Henry Rivera, Jimmy Mattio<\/p>\n

Rev. Harry Turner was reinstated as an ordained minister.<\/p>\n

Bishop Pate\u2019s State of the Conference report showed how the Holy Spirit has blessed TVC over the past years. Currently, the conference has 39 ordained ministers, 11 licensed, and 15 local church minister\u2019s licenses for a total of 65 ministers. In 2017, the churches reported 2,461 people born again, 344 baptized in water, 37 who experienced sanctification, and 41 who received the baptism in the Holy Spirit.<\/p>\n

Compassion IPHC churches have experienced significant growth over the past several years. Compassion in Dickson, Tennessee, is now over 1000 in attendance; Compassion Waverly runs 504; Mission 615 in Nashville has 460. Iglesia El Gran Yo Soy in Nashville, one of three Hispanic congregations in the conference, reports 161. There are 12 Hope Centers providing restoration to men and women. Eight are in Tennessee, three in Texas, and<\/u> one in Virginia.<\/p>\n

The conference continues to be a strong supporter of IPHC World Missions Ministries (WMM). Total WMM giving in 2017 was $203,797. Members of the conference are active in South Sudan (Hope for Sudan), Ireland, Wales (Lemuel and Toby Turner), Canada, and Living Israel (noted above).<\/p>\n

The conference elected the following to serve for the next four years:<\/p>\n

Bishop Manuel Pate, re-elected by acclamation<\/p>\n

Rev. Jamie Grisham, Assistant Superintendent<\/p>\n

Rev. Josh Hannah, Rev. Frank Worthington, and Rev. Randy Brigman; Conference Executive Council<\/p>\n

The conference session closed with the Memoirs Report. The following were remembered as having passed away since the last annual conference: Jerry Summers, A.E. Stanley, and Joseph Hooper.<\/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":[510,330,87,554,94,12,139],"class_list":{"0":"post-2819","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-quadrennial-conference","12":"tag-recap","13":"tag-september","14":"tag-tennessee-valley-conference","15":"entry"},"title_es":"Informe cuadrienal de la Conferencia Red de Ministerios Sonshine 2018","content_es":"Por el Obispo J.

La conferencia fue organizada en la Iglesia Cristo La Roca Ministerio Internacional en Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Cristo La Roca Ministerio Internacional es pastoreado por la Rev.

La conferencia, en sesi\u00f3n, ratific\u00f3 esta acci\u00f3n por unanimidad. El Informe del Estado de la Conferencia "traducido" del Obispo Ram\u00edrez, aunque visionario, tambi\u00e9n fue imparcial \/ equilibrado, ya que trat\u00f3 francamente las \u00e1reas que necesitaban mejorar si quer\u00edan continuar funcionando como una conferencia en la IPHC. Hizo un excelente trabajo al hablar sobre los beneficios de ser parte de un movimiento (IPHC) que es mucho m\u00e1s grande que sus iglesias locales, y la conferencia s\u00ed lo es. Hizo un gran reconocimiento a nuestra herencia de fe y quiere desesperadamente que la Conferencia Red de Ministerios Sonshine comprenda qui\u00e9nes y qu\u00e9 es lo que hacen sus familias. Tambi\u00e9n proporcionaron a los asistentes un Informe financiero que incluye una revisi\u00f3n de los ingresos y gastos de cada art\u00edculo hasta el 31 de julio de 2018. Los servicios de credencializaci\u00f3n estuvieron marcados por un poderoso sentido de la presencia y unci\u00f3n de Dios.

Ambos se han distinguido profesionalmente (Blas es abogado), pero tienen dieron la espalda a sus profesiones para seguir su vocaci\u00f3n. Son muy conscientes del desaf\u00edo que tienen ante s\u00ed, pero est\u00e1n comprometidos con la misi\u00f3n que el Se\u00f1or les ha confiado para esta temporada. Sal\u00ed de la Conferencia Red de Ministerios Sonshine animada y me compromet\u00ed a orar Filipenses 1: 6 sobre ellos personalmente y Red de Ministerios Sonshin Conference corporativamente: "Y estoy seguro de que Dios, que comenz\u00f3 el buen trabajo dentro de ti, continuar\u00e1 su trabajo hasta que finalmente se termina el d\u00eda cuando Cristo Jes\u00fas regrese "(NLT). Que el Se\u00f1or le d\u00e9 al Obispo Blas y a Wanda los deseos de sus corazones mientras le sirven fielmente.
