Presbytery Updates

Last weekend, Madeleine and I attended the 31st Stated Meeting of the Gulf South Presbytery at Hope Church in San Antonio, TX. By far, the most important thing we did all weekend was examine three ministers for transfer into our Presbytery. First, I’ve made mention a few times of the planned church plant in Hattiesburg, and at this meeting, we received the church planter, Rev. Ro Taylor, from the PCA. He has spent several years serving in RUF ministries at various universities, most recently at Delta State, but now we have extended a church planting call to him. An installation service is scheduled for January at Covenant Presbyterian in Jackson, MS. We also interviewed two pastors coming to us from the Los Pinos Nuevos denomination in Cuba. (Our church is already connected with churches in Los Pinos Nuevos through Living Waters for the World.) Both men have over twenty-five years of pastoral experience, including teaching and training pastors in Reformed theology. Rev. Miquel Broche has been called as an Assistant Pastor at Hope Church in San Antonio, and his ministry will be focused on the Spanish speaking community there, especially the Cuban refugees who are already a part of Hope Church. Rev. Alfredo Forhans, previously the president of their seminary in Cuba, will be joining the EPC Church Planting Network team in their work.

How to Help Hurricane Helene Victims

There are several good organizations that have been mentioned in various channels this week, but I just want to highlight the EPC’s own efforts. In this video, Dean Weaver gives some information on what our churches are dealing with in North Carolina.

This afternoon, we’re in Brookhaven for Madeleine’s brother’s wedding, but we are very excited to be back with you tomorrow!
