REPORT TO THE COUNCIL OF BISHOPS [COB]<br />
INTERNATIONAL PENTECOSTAL HOLINESS CHURCH, INC.<br />
BISHOP J. TALMADGE GARDNER<br />
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, DISCIPLESHIP MINISTRIES DIVISION<br />
& CORPORATE TREASURER<br />
APRIL – JUNE 2010<br />
Dear fellow Council of Bishops’ members, I consider it a privilege to serve our <strong>International</strong><br />
<strong>Pentecostal</strong> <strong>Holiness</strong> church family alongside you.<br />
Listed below you will find a summary of some of my activities for the time referenced above.<br />
CHURCH INSTITUTIONS<br />
As the designated liaison to our Educational and Benevolent Institutions I have become keenly<br />
aware of the season of GRACE in which our institutions find themselves. My personal opinion<br />
is that this season of favor is due to the leaders God has providentially positioned to provide<br />
vision and leadership for these ministries at this juncture.<br />
We congratulate Dr. Ed Huckeby on his inauguration as SCU’s eleventh President. You are<br />
going to be impressed as you watch this man lead SCU to a new dimension of influence in our<br />
church.<br />
We also owe outgoing SCU Board of Regents Chairman, Dr. Dan Beller, our deep gratitude for<br />
the leadership that he provided his alma-mater during his tenure as Chairman. Dr. Beller, in my<br />
opinion, is the personification of a true church Statesman! As such he has made many great<br />
contributions to our church – his Chairmanship of SCU's Board of Regents during the search for<br />
SCU's 11th President may have been his crowning achievement. From what I have observed so<br />
far, he got it right as I am more optimistic about the future of SCU than ever before.<br />
We congratulate the new chairman David Burrows, the son of Rev. Damon Burrows, Sr. David’s<br />
business acumen and ministry passion will serve SCU’s vision well.<br />
In addition, on June 7, 2010, SCU issued a news release announcing the selection of Dr. Terry<br />
Tramel as Dean of the Graduate School of Ministry, effective July 1 st . Dr. Tramel’s professional<br />
and personal ministry experience are a natural fit for this new leadership assignment of<br />
preparing Christian leaders for kingdom effectiveness.<br />
In alphabetical order below you will find a few highlighted comments from our church<br />
institution leaders. You will also be privileged to hear from them personally during our<br />
Tuesday morning COB Session. I am grateful for their inclusion in the COB Agenda by<br />
presiding Bishop Carpenter:<br />
