COGOP Marks 111th Anniversary |
On June 13, 1903, A.J. Tomlinson joined the Holiness Church at Camp Creek, a day we celebrate as the beginning of what is now known as the Church of God of Prophecy. Currently, the COGOP has 1.5 million members in 9,853 churches, 2,270 missions in 132 nations around the world. We are marching toward the future with the Great Commission call in our hearts and thanking God for what He's done through this Movement and throughout the Kingdom of God.
To all the members of the Church of God of Prophecy: Congratulations on the 111th anniversary. God has sent us to this world to fulfill His mission to save it. We will continue until he comes for us. 'Neither the gates of Hell' (shall prevail)...... Breaking Through Church of God!
Bishop Gabriel Vidal,
General Presbyter, South America

Fathers on the Floor
by Scott Lee

"The Spirit Himself witnesses with our spirit that we are children of God" (Galatians 8:16).
My youngest son, Chandler, doesn't care much for sports. His brothers play just about every sport available to them, but Chandler has only tried a few. A few years ago, he decided to play a sport that neither one of my other sons had ever played, floor hockey. He was very excited about the opportunity to play something different and I believe that somehow he hoped to identify himself a little more through it.
