Orthodox Presbyterian Church General Assembly

The Seventy-Sixth General Assembly of the Orthodox Presbyterian Church has run very smoothly through Friday. Reports from the Committees on Foreign Missions, Christian Education, and Home Missions and Church Extension and their work were approved unanimously and much enthusiasm and joy. The Lord has richly blessed the OPC this past year in numerous ways. Work will slow down late Saturday and Monday as three appeals and work on the Amended Proposed Revised Version (Appendix 1) of the Directory of Worship are discussed and decided. Please pray for the continued spirit of wisdom, patience, understanding, and unity.

Second Stated Meeting of Presbytery

Thankful for God's blessing on the second stated meeting of the Presbytery.  It is always an encouragement to see the brothers.  The decision to close the Paso Robles work was a rough "No"-answer to our prayers regarding that ministry.  May God bless Pastor Tim Walker and his family.  At the same time, we praise God for the new mission work in Tucson, AZ.  May God bless Mr. Crum's efforts there.  More great news from Mr. Larson regarding the spread of the Reformed faith in Latin America.  Discipline cases are always difficult, but praise God for his grace in steering us partway through the appeal that was before us.
