My Dear International Sunday School Department Family, Greetings in the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ, who has given to us gifts to be used in His service, and for His glory. I am sincerely humbled at the opportunity to serve as your International Sunday School Department Field Representative, and work harmoniously with our dynamic International Sunday School Superintendent, Bishop Alton Gatlin. Certainly with our combined efforts and your continued support, our International Sunday School Department will be able to make a powerful impact in the Kingdom of God. As we begin making plans for our International Auxiliary In Ministries Convention 2013, my prayer for us is three-fold. First, that the prayers you presented to God concerning your jurisdictional and local Sunday School Departments will be answered. Second, that your financial gifts will become the seeds that bring forth a harvest of blessings for you and your family. Third, that you will apply all the tools and techniques you ve learned and begin to see spiritual and numerical growth in your Sunday Schools. I am confident that God will answer. Finally, let me express my sincere appreciation for your support of our Children of the Kingdom Duke and Duchess Pageant 2013. This is a wonderful opportunity to provide our children and their families with an experience that they will treasure throughout their lives. As the Bible states in Matthew 19:14, But he said, Leave the children alone! Allow the little ones to come to Me, and do not forbid or restrain, or hinder them, for of such (as these) is the kingdom of heaven composed. (AMP) The International Sunday School Department stands as a great testimony of what can happen when brothers and sisters are united in purpose. Let us strive to bring glory to God by undergirding our children, supporting our leaders, and caring for each other. Being confident of this very thing, that He which have begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ. Philippians 1:6 With a Sincere Heart, Mother Georgia Macklin Lowe International Sunday School Department Field Representative
