Celebrating Our Shepherd! Psalm 1:3
Happy Anniversary Bishop!

Throughout the year, we have many reasons to celebrate! Notably, the season of Christmastide along with Valentine’s Day are two of the most widely recognized holiday’s celebrated in our culture. St. Valentines Day shortened to Valentine’s Day is traditionally a day on which we express our love for each other in the presentation of gifts. No matter the occasion, or season, getting together with loved ones, family, friends, or community is a joyful and memorable time! With the hustle and bustle of our everyday lives time passes quickly, and we often forget what’s important, losing sight of the value in the gift that Life (God) has given us! Given the occasion to celebrate the people we love and cherish brings us back to a place of reflection and reconnection! Even though we have a calendar to remind us of people and those moments that we hold near and dear, every day is reason and cause to hold those most important to us, in high-esteem and honor just by simply connecting in Love!

During the month of February we as disciples of Gathering of Champions International Cathedral (GCIC) are proud to honor our pastor of 15 years—Bishop Brian Keith Hodges and his family. This month we are reflecting and reconnecting with our visionary and his family according to Biblical principles to remind them that we love and appreciate them very much! During his 15 years of leadership he has shown and continues to demonstrate a loving dedication and commitment to God and this ministry with integrity and great character. As apostle, teacher, preacher, and prophet, God uses him to lead the way “Living, Thinking and Acting Biblically”, developing a people and community who live and operate in Kingdom culture—“Producing Winning Disciples in Every Area of Life!”

We rejoice and are quick to take advantage of this opportunity to sow a special seed into fertille ground (our pastor) in the spirit of Biblical principle and much love! Thank you Bishop for 15 awesome years!
For a portrait of our Shepherd read Psalm 1.

“The practice of sowing into our Leader”
Throughout the Bible we find historical accounts of men and women sowing into God’s servant. And so it was unto them according to their faith and obedience in this practice, that God intervened and their need was met. Don’t misunderstand! The practice of this type of sowing only yields the harvest of “need being met” when you have relationship with the Father through His son Jesus. In faith and obedience, this type of sowing is sacrificial in seed and is above and beyond God’s tithe. This lifestyle of worship to God yields an experience with God and the benefit of His promise for provision.

Bible passages for consideration where God met the need of His people through His servant Elisha. II Kings Chapters 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
