Notes on guest speakers David Butts & Doug Small
Warm Greetings, Western State NGPT Leaders!
Only a few state coordinators were able to attend the NGPT “Consecration” event in Indianapolis last week – 14 to be exact – but it was an inspired gathering with high-spiritual caliber. Those who attended were as warm and friendly a group as one could ever hope to meet, and each one imparted great wisdom, understanding, encouragement and insight. I was blessed by all and felt that we had a small foretaste of Heaven as we fellowshipped together. The states represented included Illinois, Ohio, Florida, Kansas, Kentucky, Washington and Indiana (of course). I would like to add that Tom Walker did an excellent job planning, arranging, coordinating and otherwise taking care of all of us and deserves commendation for all his hours of thoughtful work. We were so blessed by it.
I wrote up my notes from the two sessions given by the guest speakers—Dave Butts and Doug Small—so decided to forward them to you. Please understand I was writing as fast as I could during the sessions but only capturing a small amount, so attached is an inadequate snapshot of their whole presentations. But I wanted you to get a sense of the “flavor” of the teaching.
The couple from Florida who attended—Frank and Robin Williamson--have volunteered to host the next NGPT gathering, so that may pique your interest. The date has not been determined—and is probably several months if not a year away--but I wanted you to know just as a heads-up and to encourage you to consider attending if you can. You will truly be blessed, inspired and informed!
I am still working on phone contact among us as a group – so far our schedules have not meshed. Will continue to work on it until we can set a time. Thanks again for your fervent zeal for God’s work in the government sphere.
As some of you may already know I will be at the National Prayer Committee meeting January 29-31. We sent Stephanie to there annual meeting last year in California because I had a project commitment that made it impossible for me to attend myself. It was still quit a bit of travel because is was in southern CA (450 mi.).
They were giving us a going over for possible membership in NPC. After Stephanie returned she explained that all was good. Nine months later I discovered we were not members due to a rule I was not aware of. The head ministry leader must be in attendance. This was even more surprising seeing they had cashed the membership check I sent to them in January 2013.
All this to say that I will be going to this years meeting in Charlotte, NC for a similar purpose. We have already been so blessed by David Butts ministering to our group. What an honor it would be to associate this ministry with NPC. Obviously there has been some sort of resistance put up against this taking place. Please pray.
First Regional call: Your next miracle is to get all you State Prayer Leaders all together on a call. Having them praying together & for one another will bring the unity & family component into play. I have found that brining their position in NGPT and associated ministry work to the forefront of the conversation and prayer will accelerate this. Asking what tools or blessing they need from the Lord to expand there ministry efforts is a good start.
We will need to consider adding at least one or two more regional leaders this year.
Tom - We have events at church from 8AM - 10AM and in then we are off to our Capitol concerning "The Day of Rage". So, we could participate between 10AM and noon, and then after 5PM on Saturday.
