Dear Pastors and Leaders,
As leaders in the church of Knoxville, we have a very special opportunity to bless a congregation: Greater Warner Tabernacle AME Zion Church. John Atherton, of Chattanooga Resource Foundation, has suggested we do something together as Pastors' Networks to better link our cities together. You may remember the prayer requests Pastor Eric Leake has shared with us, and the great needs of this African-American congregation.
When we suggested to Eric that we have a PROJECTS DAY, he was...

Next Thursday Sept. 4 at noon at Southern Fellowship Church will be a lunch meeting for church planters.

We will also discuss whether the church planters would like to do this on a regular basis. If you are in the process of planting a church you are invited. If you know someone who is planting a church, please...

Dear Pastors and Leaders,
I received the following from Pastor Brad Getz, who has been involved in the prayer movement for many years. He is asking for prayer as he waits on the Father for direction. I am pasting his request in here:
===============================================================
As perhaps most of you know, I have been laid off from New Covenant Fellowship as of the end of this month, and Janet and I are now in a place of seeking God's direction for the next leg...

Dear Pastors and Leaders,
It has been nearly three weeks since we posted a message for our Prayer Network. I trust your summer is going well, and that you are continuing to pray for the blessing of God on our region.
Bob and Debbie Martin are back from their travels. If you have requests that need to be posted to this list, please send them to me. I am pasting in below an urgent request from Pastor Eric Leake at Greater Warner...

Dear Pastors and Leaders,
Thank you, thank you, thank you, for your prayers and support. At 6:45 pm this evening, Brother Ken went home to be with Jesus. The Doctors had called the family together this morning and told them his systems were shutting down, and that they would most likely have to make some hard decisions today. So after the arrival of the last family member from Alabama, they gathered around 5pm to celebrate his coronation.
What a glorious time! What...

Dear Pastors and Leaders,
I spent over 7 hours at the hospital today with the Callaham family, along with Sam Polson, John Stone, Dave Trempe and many others who had been there before I arrived in the afternoon.
Ken is still on the ventilator and now on constant dialysis. He is on a "truckload" of meds to keep his blood pressure up. The physicians and nursing staff came in the afternoon to give a not-too-hopeful report. So we spent a couple of...

Dear Pastors and Leaders,
At 6:00 a.m., several of us were summoned by the Callaham family to come to the hospital. Ken was hemorrhaging, and they had to put him back on the ventilator. Pastors were allowed to go back one at a time to pray at the foot of the bed while they continued to work on him.
I just returned from the hospital (it's a bit after 9:00 a.m.), and the girls (Kay and Kim) have requested that we send...

Dear Pastors and Leaders,
The Callaham children have asked Sam Polson and me to help arrange a prayer vigil for the next 24 hours. We need people to come to the CHAPEL (NOT the waiting room for ICU/CCU!) to pray.
Major organs have shut down in Ken's body. They are calling in an infection specialist, and awaiting further word from the renal specialist. The family needs great wisdom in knowing how to proceed from here. They obviously have hard decisions to make.
Please...

Dear Pastors and Leaders,
I just spoke with Kim, Ken's daughter, before I go back to the hospital. I felt I needed to get this report out this afternoon to update everyone. The situation is serious for sure. Ken's fever is over 102, while his heart rate is stable. Breathing is labored, and the doctors aren't sure whether he should sit up or stay down. The real prayer request is for the TOXINS in his body. That number is now 6.6,...

Dear Pastors and Leaders,
Many are calling and e-mailing to receive information on Ken's condition over the weekend. I just talked with Kay, his daughter. Ken is still in the CCU unit. He is alert. A renal specialist has been called in, and there are problems with his kidneys. His medication has been changed, and there is improvement. They want to avoid temporary dialysis, so please pray the medicines will be effective. His heart rate is lower but still irregular.
The family...
