Blessings to each of you as we approach the holy Easter season! May the victory of Christ be more real to you than ever before!
Bro. Johnson, Bro. Bailey, Bro. Bullock and I traveled to GBS on Tuesday to join the GBS bus group going to Bro. Agan's funeral. We left about 4 a.m. Wednesday morning and arrived in Pell City about an hour before the funeral. The Collingsworths shared in special music as well a one grand daughter and a whole group of grandchildren. Bro. Hedstrom, Bro. Leonard Sankey, Bro. Marc Sankey and Bro. Darell Stetler, Jr. spoke about Bro. Agan's life and ministry. Rev. Daniel Stetler brought the funeral message. Let me tell you, it was worth hearing! "Precious in the sight of God is the death of His saints!"
Actually, here is some info about the funeral that I found after I got home:

Rev. Scott Pyle plans to have the memorial service for Rev. V.O. Agan live on the Internet, Wednesday at 1:00 p.m.

Memorials for Rev. V.O. Agan- If you are interested in responding to a memorial fund for Rev. V.O. Agan instead of purchasing flowers, you may give to Bible Methodist Missions to help cover the cost of flying Marc and Melody Sankey's family to the funeral from Texas. The tickets are going to exceed $2600.00. This will keep Marc Sankey from missing too many classes of language school. Gifts that exceed the amount of the tickets will be used for a special project in Mexico in memory of Rev. V.O. Agan. Rev. V.O. Agan was responsible for bringing the Mexico work into the Bible Methodist Connection of Churches.

On Monday morning, Saundy and I will be flying to Alaska to speak at the IHC there at North Pole. Please pray that God will make us a blessing to those we fellowship with and pray for God's anointing on my ministry. How much I need the Spirit's fresh infilling for effective ministry. As I have said, it is not so much what I have to say, but the keen working of the Spirit within me that is so important. Thank you for your prayers!
While I am in Alaska, Bro. Johnson will be available if you have questions. As well, he may be working with the Concord church family regarding a preacher for Easter Sunday. Bro. Miller's last Sunday there will be Palm Sunday and we covet your prayers for God's leadership in the pastoral search.
Also, the Lock-in for the Youth is planned for April 7th at Evart. Bro. Mark Potter, director of TLC, is to be speaking. Let's make this a very special time!
