Zech. 9:13.
"For I have bent Judah, my bow, fitted the bow with Ephraim, And raised up your sons, O Zion, against your sons, O Greece, and made you like the sword of a mighty man.

Romans 8:14-19 The entire creation is waiting for these mature sons of God to be revealed. Romans 8:14-25 shows that this manifestation of the mature sons of God is an event which has not yet happened. It is "a great hope" that all of us wait for with perseverance. Galatians 3:26-29

We welcome and join in the joy of fellowshipping and working with these quality ministers as they fulfill their call from the Lord.

Newly Credentialed Ministers:

We are so very proud to announce that two of the young people who have been in our church over many years were credentialed at the January 31st gathering of Our Father's House Ministries.

Amy Whitson has been in our lives for about twenty years and we have watched her grow and mature into a fine young lady, a mature Christian woman, wife and mother. She has always had a ministry of anointed music and is now preaching and teaching. She is also used in the gifts of the Spirit and is sensitive to hear the voice of the Lord and be obedient. Her husband, Cory, came into our lives many years ago also. He was serving in the U.S. Navy and they were married in our church. They now have three wonderful and talented children. They are all devoted to the Lord and His service. Cory has been licensed with a Baptist Association for years now, and the whole family travels and ministers wherever the doors have opened for them. The CMFI Board has given Cory Ordination credentials and Amy a License credential. We know that the Lord is and will greatly use them both more in the future!

Welcome Cory and Amy Whitson to C.M.F.I. - Sons of Zion. We love you and your family!

We want to bless you as we begin this brand New Year and the new things that God is doing in our midst. He is so full of plans that we can't even begin to comprehend, but we know we should be looking forward to them anxiously and with joy.

We need to do as Jesus did and set our minds, souls and bodies to do the will of God even though it may be hard. He was able to look through His cross experience for the joy that was set before Him. He knew the outcome and the reward for souls redeemed because of His sacrifice and willingness to be obedient to His Father. It was His destiny. God also has a destiny set and designed in heaven for each of us.

May you be richly blessed of our Father this year. May your ministries and lives bear more fruit then ever before in all your years, and may that fruit remain to the coming day of the Lord Jesus the Christ.

Pastors Morris and Betty Nelms
