Wade Miller, coordinator for the Ministry to the Military sector of MIP, completes five years as the coordinator. According to Dr. Don Bennett with the Church of God Division of Education,
Miller has the distinguished opportunity to provide the MIP seminar through video conferences in several countries around the world.

Bennett went on to say that Johnny Sawyer, MIP coordinator for Western North Carolina, completes ten years as coordinator in that region. Eddie Allen, coordinator in South Carolina, and Thomas Mitchell, coordinator in the Heartlands Region, complete 15 years as coordinators.

David Hagee, the coordinator in Virginia, completes 25 years as coordinator and is one of th longest-serving leaders for MIP. During his tenure, 238 applicants completed Calling and Ministry Studies (CAMS), 788 candidates completed the Ministerial Internship Program, and he has worked with 101 different supervising pastors.

“His supervising pastors and ministerial students compliment Bishop Hagee very highly, saying that he helped them acquire knowledge and develop skills to be effective in ministry,” Bennett stated. “Many commented that they would not be where they are without the mentoring of Bishop Hagee.”

This year’s annual MIP Commissioning ceremonies will take place on May 19-20 in Cleveland, Tennessee. During this time, MIP candidates who have completed the rigorous educational training are recognized and “commissioned” for service into the ministry by Church of God leaders.
