We were able to spend several days in Orlando, Fl last week. It was the Bi-Annual meeting of the Assemblies of God. We had a wonderful time, reconnecting with friends and Pastors from across the United States. On Thursday Chaplain Keith Turcotte lead the Honorbound Motorcycle Ministries, General Council Ride, assisted by Chaplain Duane Gryder and Chaplain Fred Higgins. It included 22 bikes. The ride was 100 miles, through scenic back roads, and over the highest point in Florida and ended with lunch. Riders were Pastors and some lay people from across the United States.
We attended the US Missions luncheon on Friday! While there, we heard several exciting testimonies. One from a pastor who’s church started from nothing, in an area that in the past had closed it’s doors many times. With a new pastor and a refreshed vision, along with a team of RV Maps workers, the church is thriving. Next, was a lady who had struggled with Drug abuse. She was introduced to pastors with an inter city ministry that showed love and gave support. There she was able to thrive and has become a powerful women of God.
General Council was a wonderful time of fellowship and spiritual up lift!
