HOW WE DO IT!

Beyond the Legacy Convention/West Dumas @ 40 Homecoming in September of last year and especially with the homegoing on last week of our Elder Brother, Pastor Jasper Jackson, Jr., it is most evident that certain things must be given our urgent priority for at the end of the day it always comes back home and how home always stands up to help one another- Here's a short progress report and a look at where we are and how everyone can help out: 

1.       We need to come together for family, friendship and fellowship

2.       We need to stay together- forever.  This means good times and bad times.  WE ARE FAMILY!

3.       We need to further expand and move forth with our Keepers of the Faith.Today Fellowship.

Ø  This is first  and foremost for all of us who came out of the ministries of our late Pastor and Spiritual Leader.  We need to preserve our legacies and continue the expansion of the Memorial Church in fellowship and our historic landmark.  We need the Memorial Church to be strong and stable for generations to come in both fellowship and our building.  When one of needs to be brought home or remembered, this work needs to be ready.

Last year we invested over $100,000 to bring forth the convention along with several things that really helped us to expand and prepare for the next 40 years- here are a few of them:

1.       New Heating and Air Units- a total of 5

2.       New technology for streaming and broadcasting live from HMC

3.       Visual arts and design team to expand our image in social media and communications

4.       Brought in national and international leaders to speak and join us in our efforts to expand the vision and destiny of our lives and those in our region.

5.       Helped many families transition to better conditions and invested in helping to transition a family in need of training and ministry guidance.

The Urgent Challenge: We were over $20,000 short of the funds that were pledged during the homecoming.  This put a tremendous challenge on our operations but we did not stop and we will not stop.  (My personal challenges were greatly increased on multiple fronts.)

We were counting on these pledges to help us meet our obligations to preserve our good works and our good name.   WE WERE NOT ABLE TO MEET THEM.  

 We need  $10,000 in contributions right away. 

Between MLK Holiday Weekend and the Birthday of our late Pastor, Dr. Hunt, Sr., we need EVERYONE  to send in your contributions to the P.O. Box 307 in Dumas (71639)  or online here make a donation of any amount to help us keep the Memorial Church online and strong.   Many of you can give $10, $20, $50 or $100 today.  Some of you can take it upwards, $200, $300, $500 and $1000 and upwards.   Let me assure you that all contributions are important.

Kick-off Brunch for West Dumas @ 40 and Announcing the Special Guests and Getting the Faith-Team Activated

SAVE THE DATE:    April 23, 2016  

On Saturday, April 23rd from 11am until 2pm the official planning session for West Dumas @ 40 will take place at HMC.  Here are the happenings:

WE WILL ANNOUNCE OUR SPECIAL GUEST(S)-  All we can say at this point is God has favored us in a great way with a world renown leader- MAJOR!

In addition here's what else will be shared.

1. Brunch served for 'everyone' who wants to be a part in a special way. Please RSVP at hmcministries@aol.com  by April 21st if possible.  

2. Vision-exchange- You will see the first look at the plans for a most special Homecoming-Reunion and Convention.  The convention part was added because of the caliber of speakers and presenters who not only take us to 'church' but also to successful points in the marketplace where our ministry, careers, business, dreams, visions and how goals that each of us, individually and collectively are impacted and advanced.

3. You will add your voice and ideas

4. Early registration will  prepare to come to a close BECAUSE-
a. When we announce who's coming, the seats are for certain to be limited
b. We want to get the Gideon 300 registered so that some of the initial groundwork can accelerate the vision.

So if you have not already done so- Register at the $40 registration before April 23rd.   The registration will increase thereafter.

5. Strong Prayer and Promotions Begin
a. We will pray over the vision and leave out with promotional materials that get us moving to our Labor Day Celebration.

Thanks to all and be sure to mark your calenders to attend. 

Please pray and pass this onwards.  

ALH-jr

Get Ready for Labor Day like never before!  Prepare to arrive on Thursday, September 1st for a moment in Dumas like none other.  This year marks 40 years beyond the great Dedication of the West Dumas Church of God in Christ.  It was historic, anointed, trailblazing and so much more. God used his leaders and faith builders to bring about an updated testimony.  He confirmed His same anointing that was on the biblical visionaries of yesterday. He allowed us to see the power of faith ‘one brick’ at a time. We were blessed to put on display the truth that He is… ‘Same God right now as He was back then.’  We are coming home to West Dumas, September 1-4, 2016 and we will say- “thank God we made it- some will shout and sing the victory, how we got over and others will say, my soul looked back and wondered how I got over.” 

What will we do?  Who will be on site to witness and see God’s glory still alive and well?  How will we honor the pioneers?  How will we celebrate?

This is the official SAVE THE DATE invitation.  

Here’s What Gets Us Started:   

1.       Unity, love and oneness with all persons who are called and chosen to be a part.

2.       Constant prayers for the vision to be precise as in the Habakkuk anointing

3.       Registrations ($40- for a limited time)— The immediate goal is to get “The Nehemiah Visionaries” (the first 100) to send in the registration of $40 (and any additional amount) by April 30^th.  This will be a great help to get us started with our expense and restoration work. It’s only $1 for each year.  You can register online at https://westdumasat40.eventbrite.com   or by mail.
