Church of God USA Missions is a strategic partner with the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA) for the promotion of the MY HOPE AMERICA soul winning campaign, scheduled for the week of November 2-9, 2014. MY HOPE AMERICA was first celebrated in November 2013 to commemorate the world-renowned evangelist’s 95th birthday. Desiring to conduct “one more crusade,” but physically unable to do so, Mr. Graham conceded that the MY HOPE campaign would take the place of that crusade. The 2013 campaign was so successful with more than 26,000 churches participating and 110,000 people making a commitment to follow Christ, that the leadership of BGEA determined that it should be repeated this year.
In May 2014, Dr. Leonard Albert, Personal Evangelism Consultant for USA Missions, was employed by BGEA on a part-time basis as the MY HOPE AMERICA area coordinator for the State of Tennessee. A long-time advocate for personal evangelism and soul winning, Albert is one of 90 area MY HOPE AMERICA coordinators in the USA and Canada. As Personal Evangelism Consultant for the Church of God, Albert is also available to advise and assist our ministers and leaders with all areas of personal evangelism. Albert’s MY HOPE AMERICA duties relate specifically to Tennessee, but those interested in the MY HOPE AMERICA campaign may contact him regardless of the state in which they minister. Please mail him at lalbert@churchofgod.org.
Information on MY HOPE AMERICA is also available online at www.myhopeamerica.org [1]. Dr. James E. Cossey, Executive Administrator of USA Missions strongly recommends that Church of God pastors who wish to participate sign up via email directly to lalbert@churchofgod.org.
