On the 13 th I spoke at Trinity Worship Center in Burlington and that evening
hosted a special missions dinner for that congregation.
Over that weekend I learned that Rev. John W. Swails, Jr., had died and that his
funeral was planned for Tuesday, June 15. I returned to Franklin Springs on the
14 th and assisted in the funeral service and was in charge of the grave service. It
was an honor to participate in the funeral of one of the great Bible teachers in
our denominational history as well as the man who was my pastor from age 13-
32.
I left Rev. Swails’ funeral and flew to Los Angeles for the Korean-American
Conference on the 16 th and 17 th . It was a very good conference and I was
pleased to learn more of what the Koreans are doing around the world through
World Agape Mission Church. As Bob Cave aptly puts it, “The Koreans have a
parallel universe of missions work!”
On June 24-26 I was in Orlando, Florida for the Sonshine Network Ministries
Conference. It was a special privilege to be present for the honoring of retiring
superintendent Clifton Smith and his wife Marion. On the 27 th I preached at
Victory Christian Center in Tampa pastored by Rev. Dan Dempsey.
On June 28 I flew to Haiti to visit the IPHC relief effort in this stricken nation. More
of that report will follow.
