O.C.I. Leader's Meeting

Good news! I just got back from the O.C.I. Leader's retreat at Uchee Pines Institute in Alabama. I went with the brethren from the Gospel Ministries media center to learn on and help run the cameras to capture the main presentations there, including two by David Gates. It was a blessing! I never knew there were so many supporting ministries out there, most of which started by people stepping out in faith and beginning the work, not knowing where the resources would come from in the future. Most were established and flourishing! And after only a few months to a year! God is working quickly in these last days! Many more people were inspired with faith to start their own ministry, most of whom had had it in the back of their mind for some time.

I had some experience switching between the cameras and directing the camera people. We used Macintosh computers mostly, so I learned about them as well. David left during the week and flew over to join another missionary, Dr. Kim, who just bought an airplane to replace the one that went down in South America a few months ago. They are flying it to South America currently to continue the work there! We are short on missionaries right now (there is much work in the Lord's service!) especially pilots, and this will be a blessing.

I hope all is well, and I just wanted to share one more thing: The "Prayer of Jabez". I had always heard of this book, and had never looked it up. A friend gave it to me, and I read it while I was in Alabama. Wow! The principles that the author sets forth based on a scripture from II Chronicles is right along with the total faith-based ministry philosophy that I am acquainted with. I suggest you pick up this book (I got mine for a dollar) and go through it sometime in the future. It will open the doors to heaven's storehouse in your life I am confident.

I hope all is going well with you, and may God's peace be with you in the midst of the storm, as He promised!

God Bless,

Scott
