			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dear South Texas District Ministers,</p>
<p>Greetings in the lovely name of Jesus!</p>
<p>God is doing great things in the South Texas District. Governor Rick Perry has called a &#8220;Day of Prayer and Fasting&#8221; for Saturday, August 6, 2011, from 10:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. Governor Perry has invited everyone to join him on August 6 at the Reliant Stadium in Houston, Texas, for &#8220;a solemn day of prayer and fasting on behalf of our troubled nation.&#8221; The South Texas District is going to join Governor Perry in prayer on this day. We are asking all churches in the South Texas District to be involved in this &#8220;Day of Prayer and Fasting.&#8221;<br />
Everyone is encouraged to attend the &#8220;Day of Prayer and Fasting&#8221; at the Reliant Stadium in Houston, Texas.</p>
<p>Please see the links below. Everyone is invited to attend the Prayer Event. The event is free but we all must register. The first link is for registration.</p>
<p><a title="Registration link" href="http://theresponseusa.com" target="_blank">theresponseusa.com</a><br />

<p>If you and/or the church is unable to attend this event, we are encouraging you to please plan a prayer event on this day to pray for our nation.</p>
<p>2 Chronicles 7:14 reads, &#8220;If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.</p>
<p>Thank you so much for your burden to pray for our nation.</p>
<p>God Bless You.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>South Texas District Ministers,</p>
<p>Greetings to each of you!</p>
<p>I rejoice with you concerning the many blessings God is pouring out across our district. Our district has witnessed the sure hand of God at work with souls saved, bodies and minds healed, churches grown, and new works planted. What a great God we serve!</p>
<p>As we move forward into this great, bountiful harvest, the need is ever before us &#8211; 11th-hour laborers. We need the next and perhaps final generation of workers to extend their sickles into a field ripe for harvest.</p>
<p>Our district has utilized many methods to train leaders. In just a few weeks, a new training program will be added to our regimen: Purpose Institute. Eight campuses &#8211; one for each section &#8211; will be started in local churches across our district. Presbyters and select pastors from each section will teach the well-rounded, apostolic curriculum to people involved or interested in ministry.</p>
<p>I urge each of you to consider what role you can play in the development of these campuses. Perhaps you would like to be a teacher or a student. You may ask to host one of these campuses in your church. There may be people in your family or church who need such training. Check with your presbyter for how you can be involved.</p>
<p>We all lead such busy lives. Purpose Institute strengthens the hands of individual pastors by providing a cooperative training effort for people who will labor effectively in the local church.</p>
<p>Training the next generation of ministers is a task near and dear to our hearts. Not only will this endeavor accelerate their growth, we also magnify the possibility of growth in the local church.</p>
<p>Our district has asked Pastor Darren Shelton to direct our Purpose Institute partnership. Dozens of people are preparing for the opening of the campuses this Fall.</p>
<p>Enclosed please find an informational brochure about this program. Let&#8217;s join hearts and minds to see God do a great work in our area through this training program.</p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>
<p>Ken Gurley</p>
<p>STX District Superintendent</p>
