Phoenix, Arizona...as we pursue a true John 17 type of unity, I am moved to prayers of thanksgiving in tears. God help us keep working toward that perfect unity for which he prayed!
Whatever lingering small doubts I may have had in the earliest stages of our present approach have been totally dispelled by what I have seen and experienced since then. I long to help others who still have lingering doubts to be able to get those removed and to enjoy a type of unity I have only dreamed of in the past. Gordon Ferguson

Pray for our leaders - our elders, evangelists, and teachers
Denver Each year since 2003, the International Leadership Conference (ILC) has served as a barometer of the health of the International Churches of Christ (ICOC). By the grace of God, each year has seen a significant step of faith. This year was a leap. More churches represented. More unity. More new speakers. More cooperative spirit. More openness among church leaders. More baptisms. More church plantings. More faith. Less fear.
a super conference planned for 2012 to be held somewhere in the USA. The ILC, International Campus Ministry Conference, International Conference of Youth and Family Ministry and the International Singles Conference will all be held in the same city, combining for evening celebrations.

Please keep on praying for our churches in the Philippines, Samoa, Indonesia and India. Also the church in Seattle. There is a dam called the "Thompson Dam" and it is close to breaking - all of Kent, WA (the marshlands) will be flooded out if this happens, Boeing will be transferred to Denver, CO, and numerous apartments will be ruined as well as homes there.

Re: Update On the flood situation in South India
"The churches are fine. The affected areas are all very rural so no disciples were directly affected. It is very sad though to see the condition people live in in those areas. India is a huge country so the churches are still mainly in the big cities."
