"Pulling Down Strong Holds and Building Up Relationships" (2 Co. 10:3-8)

August 8, 1999

WELCOME HOME

Almost one year ago to the day, August 9, 1998, we were greeted in our Sunday's bulletin with a message from Harate, Zimbabwe, on the continent of Africa.

This message came from Pastor Coleman and he was full of praise for god and for those of us that stayed behind and prayed for him. A closer look at his (Pastor Coleman's message expressed a fear of failure, not only for the people of Africa, but for the church here at home as well. Praise be to God for He is still in control. The appearance of the young minister (Bishop Charles Irungu) from Africa during the year, affirmed the fact that they were truly blessed, not only by Pastor Coleman's visit, but by others who went along as well. Bishop Irungu put to rest all fears of the visit not being a blessing.

As it was on the first trip, Africa will never be the same having experienced the Anointed teachings of Pastor Coleman. The people I'm sure were blessed as well as God was blessed to have his servant in a strange land showing forth the praises of a most high God.

This man that we sometimes take for granted has been given a special gift of teaching that only comes from God. I have a fear that one day in his travels someone will realize the value and snatch him away from us.

Let us thank God for the gift and make a promise that we will be more appreciative and we will make every effort to attend when and where ever there is the anointed teachings of him whom God has blessed us with blessings great and small.

Welcome Home Pastor Coleman, Bro. Norman, Sister Harrington, and Dr. Wesley Paul. We await your stories from the mother land.
