I saw on FB a brother being congratulated for his appointment as a state YD. I did not know this info gets out to the public before the GA.Not that it concerns me just an observation Recorded Sermons @ www.pastorwiley.com

This is another area of confusion to me. I could be mistaken, but I thought the Minutes stated that State Youth Directors were elected by the State Council, before the General Assembly. But for many years, these positions not finalized or released, until after the General Assembly, and Cleveland's approval. I know several prospective State Youth Directors who were waiting on the call at the Assembly.My question is, Who determines State Youth Director appointments? State Councils are Cleveland?

My guess would be both. Nominated by State Councils approved by Cleveland. I'm sure the General YD has a say in the decisions.The brother is question is from our state, I don't know him personally but I have known his family for a looooong time. He is moving to a larger state. I understand he has a good track record.Hey I am happy for anyone who is bettering himself/herself as long as the Lord is in it Recorded Sermons @ www.pastorwiley.com

If the FL guy goes to TN and the MS guy goes to NC and the TX guy goes to FL and the AL guy leaves then wouldn’t it make sense that the NC guy goes to AL?

Caleb and Hanah Crooms have served in Texas for the last four years and will be leaving after this assembly to serve Florida. They are the best of the best as far as state youth directors go. I was born in Texas in 1976. Our youth directors in that time or my time of attending youth camp, winter fest, junior and teen talent, were Carroll Smith (he is my/our pastor emeritus at the church that I have served at for the last year), Ted Gray (25+ year MIP coordinator in Texas), and Forrest Bass (state council member and my last YD growing up). I moved out of the state and served with/under Mark Leonhardt in New Jersey, Terry Hart and Greg Baird in North Georgia, Rob Bailey, Shea Hughes and now Caleb Crooms in Texas. I was invited to preach COG camps under Rob Bailey in Oklahoma, Greg Copley and Rick Hand in Texas and also CH, COGOP, and IPHC leadership in CO and GA. Sentimentally, Rob Bailey is my favorite ever but I include all of the too long didn't read info to adamantly say that Caleb and Hanah are the best balance of what a YD is that I have ever seen. I'm sad that we are losing them to another state. Florida is lucky/blessed.I have spoken to our newly appointed/elected state director twice now and I like him a lot already. Also, people that I trust a lot have told me that we are getting another good one in Texas. We will work hard to make him welcome and to help him reach the children, students and churches in our great state.Edit - the timing on announcements was odd and awkward to me at first too but then it has allowed for us to properly acknowledge and say goodbye to a family that has done an exemplary job at camp meeting, in youth camps, and for the state Proverbs 3:5-6; John 13:34-35; Acts 1:8

I have it on good authority that ENC is not going to AL. More of Him...less of me.twitter.com/camiracle77www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=691241499&ref=name
