To All:

WOW!!!            God is Good!

Our Hispanic Ministry continues to move forward!

Pastors Raymond and Marisol (along with their daughter Amy), are doing a fantastic job.

Over the next few weeks, Pastor Raymond and his group will be reaching out to our local community.

Until next time!

Rob Mercer Update

Filed under: Uncategorized — Thomas Odom @ 9:42 am

To All:

Bro. Rob continues to make progress – To God Be The Glory!

He was in the 11am and 6pm services on Sunday and fulfilled his obligations as an usher.

Bro. Rob was also scheduled to be involved with our new boys clubs (along with Bro. Arturo) – he was able to be in class on Wednesday night.

We praise God for what He has done for the Mercer Family!

Please continue to keep this family in your prayers.

New Property Update

Filed under: Uncategorized — Thomas Odom @ 8:25 pm

To All:

Well, things continue to move forward at the new property.

Today, three more dumpsters (20yrds each) were hauled away with debris from the clean up.

That now makes 6 dumpsters that have been moved out – we believe that 2 more dumpsters should take care of it.

 

The next plan is to make a final decision on the house – deciding if we are going to remodel it or demolish it.

Please pray that God will give us clear direction.

 

There are pics uploaded on the church website (ocoeecog.com) that shows the progress that has been made.

We praise God for what He is doing at Ocoee COG!

Hispanic Ministry Update

Filed under: Uncategorized — Thomas Odom @ 8:16 pm

To All:

This past Sunday, March 1, we launched our Hispanic Ministry!

What a GREAT DAY it was!

Pastors Raymond and Marisol put together a wonderful service.

The praise team, musicians and drama team from Better Life Worship Center (BLWC) in Groveland, FL was with us for this special event.

Bishop Juan Rivera from BLWC was here as well and we thank him for translatting for us!

Also in attendance was the Hispanic Pastor from Celebration of Praise (our regional church), Pastor Will and two of his associate pastors.

I also must brag on the number of folks that attended from the English congregation from Ocoee COG.

Total attendance was almost 150.

I’m confident that God is already moving in this ministry as one person was saved during the 2pm service on Sunday.

I have pledged my full support to Pastors Raymond and Marisol and I ask that you take a moment to pray for them as well!

Reaching souls for Jesus,

Pastor Thomas

Rob Mercer – Update

Filed under: Uncategorized — Thomas Odom @ 8:10 pm

To All:

I wanted to update everyone on Bro. Rob.

First of all, I want to say that God is Good!

Without going through all the details, let me just say that Rob is doing very well. He certainly has his sense of humour back!

He is still in Florida Hospital in Orlando.

Within the next few days the plan is to move him to the Rehab Department @ Florida Hospital.

While there, it is expected that he will receive intense therapy for the next 2 – 3 weeks.

Continue to remember Rob, his wife Tanya and their children in your prayers!

Rob Mercer – Update

Filed under: Uncategorized — Thomas Odom @ 10:50 am

To All:

Many of you may have heard that while on the church campus on Saturday, February 21, Bro. Rob Mercer suffered a stroke.

While this is a very serious condition, we are thankful that Rob was not driving nor was he actively using a chain saw at the exact time of the stroke.

Please continue to keep the Mercer family in your prayers.

The plan is to move Rob out of ICU sometime today!

Thanks again for your prayers!

Pastor Thomas

Work Day – February 21

Filed under: Uncategorized — Thomas Odom @ 9:38 am

To All:

On Saturday, February 21, many men gathered to begin the ‘clean up’ process at the new property!

The clean up results were great – three 20 yard dumpsters were filled with debris.

I’m thankful for what God is doing at Ocoee COG!

Revival ended on Friday, February 20 and the results were outstanding.

There were 8 people saved and many folks testified how God touched their lives.
