Ernest and I returned on Saturday evening to Nairobi and I preached at Calvary
Worship Centre. The Chinese church, pastored by Iris Chau and Matthew Wong
from Hong Kong, met with us and blessed us with praise music in Chinese.
I left on Monday the 19 th for South Africa and the final week of this year’s SAFARI
program (Semester Abroad for a Radical Impact). It is likely the Lord will give us
three, possibly four missionaries from the 8 who attended this year.
April closed with me returning home and attending the EC COB meeting in
Oklahoma City on the 27 th .
May 2010
The first weekend in May I preached at the Mt. Airy PHC in Mt. Airy, NC. It was a
blessing to be with Pastor Tommy Vass for the three Sunday services. I was very
pleased with the interest and response to my World Missions presentation on
Sunday night.
On May 10 th the first week of Passport to Missions began in Oklahoma City. This
three-week program again surpassed our expectations with students receiving
the baptism of the Holy Spirit, new candidates finding their place in the WMM
system, and local church missions directors getting inspiration and direction.
On the weekend of May 14-16 Susan and I went to South Greenwood PHC as
the church honored her father, Mr. Guy C. Reed, on his 93 rd birthday and for the
decades he has served as the local church missions director.
On May 20-24 Susan joined me as I represented Presiding Bishop Carpenter at
the annual convention of the Pentecostal Metodista de Chile in Santiago. This
was a highlight of my ministry and I am thankful for the opportunity to have
represented IPHC at this significant event. Susan and I were given the privilege
of attending the Chilean President’s “State of the Union” address on Friday
morning of our arrival. This was due to the fact that the pastor of the Jotebeche
Church, Rev. Eduardo Duran, was appointed by the President as representative
of all Evangelicals/Pentecostals on the President’s advisory board. This is a great
honor for Pastor Duran, a graduate of Emmanuel College and Holmes Bible
College.
