North Texas District Council 2023 (LEAD Conference) held at the Oaks Fellowship Church A/G in Red Oak, Texas. Our time together was wonderfully blessed by the ministry of Pastor John Lindell (James River Church A/G, Ozark, MO) whose humility and transparency was greatly used of God to bring us a very timely message. What stands out in my mind is the expression “It’s not about you, it’s about God!” In Monday’s plenary session we received multiple testimonies of the miracles that God is performing to which Pastor Lindell is a witness. A healing service followed where many were touched by God and healed.
On Tuesday John Easter brought a powerful missions presentation challenging us to join the AGWM in its focus on the Buddhist and Hindu population which have never received a Gospel witness nor an opportunity to receive Jesus Christ as Savior.
Several of our dear missionary friends were honored in their retirement from fulltime missions service. Among them were Denny & Sandy Miller, Billy & Sue Burr, Sherie Moon, and Christopher Gornold Smith with whom we ministered for several years in Madrid, Spain.
