The Ed Cole Library

The family of the late Dr. Edwin Louis Cole (1922-2002), a men’s ministry pioneer and former Assemblies of God minister, has established The Ed Cole Library in order to make materials from his life and ministry more accessible to a global audience. The website, http://www.EdColeLibrary.org, includes scanned images of Dr. Cole’s personal sermon outlines and notes, his ministry itinerary, and additional resources for pastors and men. In June 2006, The Ed Cole Library deposited Dr. Cole’s original sermon outlines and notes at the Flower Pentecostal Heritage Center for preservation and research purposes.

Dr. Cole founded his ministry to men, Christian Men’s Network (CMN), 30 years ago in 1977. This year the LIONS ROAR ‘07 conference will be celebrating the 30th Anniversary of this powerful ministry to men. The conference starts on Monday, October 1, 2007. Darrin Rodgers, Director of the Flower Pentecostal Heritage Center, wrote the following letter to those in attendance.
