About Twelve And CCMR Ministries

BY: Rev. Rocky Thomas

     On September 24, 2006 Sweetie (my wife, Kathie) and I flew from Nashville to Salisbury, Maryland for my sister-in-law (Rev. Starr Thomas)  to pick us up at the airport to drive us to Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, The airfare for one way was $240.00 for that day only. On January 12, 2007 I went to Peninsula Regional Medical Center in Salisbury, Maryland to fill out the paperwork for a quadruple heart by-pass surgery. The heart doctor that performed the sugary informed me that I was his 3,600 heart patient. As you can see there is a lot of twelve in this!
     Anything we do within the ministry we always look for a twelve to be associated with it. In the Bible twelve is mention many times . . .
