The Oklahoma and Central Northeast Oklahoma Annual Conferences
I just returned to Little Rock, AR from Tulsa, OK. The past two weeks have been weeks of blessings and hope. I met so many wonderful people in both the Oklahoma and Central Northeast Annual Conferences. There appears to be an excitement in the air throughout Oklahoma. I am anticipating new growth and greater productivity in Oklahoma. I am so proud of the Presiding Elders, Pastors, Laity. Young Adults and our Youth in those conferences. I believe we had a good fellowship in both conferences. The twelfth is an outstanding district and has so much potential. We can reach our potential if we stay focus and realize that God has more for us. I tell you, members of the twelfth, I can see our future, and I believe that the half has not been told. The best is yet to come!
As we move forward, I want to challenge the Oklahoma and Central Northeast Conference to begin to Frangelizing. In other words, start letting your friends, relatives and neighbors know that the African Methodist Episcopal Church is exciting and has a mission for fulfill their spiritual needs. Start spreading the word that our church is a need meeting church and that we have something to offer the whole community of faith.
Finally, start planning now to attend the planning meeting in Little Rock, AR. The planning meeting will be hosted by Union AME, Reverend Nolan Watson, host pastor. The host hotel will be the La Quinta Inn and Suites on Broadway. The group rate is listed under the AME Planning Meeting. The dates for the Planning Meeting are December 11-13, 2008. More information will be posted on our site and mailed to each local church soon.
THE TIMES ARE EXCITING HERE IN THE TWELFTH!!!

I can’t express enough how much a blessing it was to sit under your leadership during Annual Conference. I am excited about the direction you’re leading us in. Five more Conferences await your vision. Go set them on fire!

Bishop, all I have to say is…..WOW!!!!! I served as a marshall in the CNEO Annual Conference and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute, Though ymbody may be feeling tired right now, I praise God through it all. I started a new job on Monday and God has blessed me with one I enjoy and love wholeheartedly. Thank you so much for your inspiration to me as a Young Adult in the 12th District of the AME Church. I am extremely excited about Planning Council in December, because I want to see what God has in store for us. Whew!! I’m on another cloud, and full of the Holy Spirit.

My Bishop,
Oh, how wonderful it is to have you in the 12th. God has surely blessed us to send you hear. The CAC Annual Conference was like I have never witnessed before. When the head truly knows God, His spirit will flow. Thank you for your leadership, spirit, and vision for the 12th. Expectations are high, and I am floating on a cloud right now.
God Bless,

The CAC IS THE PLACE TO BE……..Bishop we had a “Mountain Top Experience” @ St. James A.M.E. Church. High Commendations go Presiding Elders Reynolds and Brannon for a job well done. The members of St. James/Camden were awesome. We Thank God for you, Dr. Ava and Stephen. We went to the Mountain. Now, it is time to go and do the work in the vineyard. That is where we go to the “Next Level”…..We give God all the Praise…..Again, thank you for Vison and Leadership.
Peace, Joy, and Love

“READY TO GO TO THE NEXT LEVEL”
I was truly blessed throughtout the South Arkansas Annual Conference and expecially at the closing: Bishop Green/Dr. Ava, YES, I’m ready to go to the next level.
I’m excited. I can feel God’s blessing that he has for the 12th. I had to stop for a minute to say; Thanks you Jesus; as I was writing this message …I thank God for sending you to the 12th. I pray that God will continue to give you the wisdom, knowledge and the anointing to lead his people.
I would like your opinion on Stewardship.
God Bless

I am from the Fifth and was truly blessed when YOU BISHOP GREEN brought the message to our MIDYEAR in Arizona. You may remember how the Holy Spirit stirred us to a New Level and you offered an Altar Call.
As one who has just discovered my relatives in Oklahoma, I am so tempted to relocate - however following as the Lord leads is our only way to salvation.
Yes - Barack Obama his wife Michelle and vice President and wife Jill have a job to do and we have a job to pray without ceasing - and obeying when given the command to act.
Like Tiny Tim - I say God Bless Us - One and ALL!
Always,
S.Carolyn
