First off, didn't even know that he was an Omega man. Just serves to show that Omega does have quality individuals within its ranks. I've pretty much known, as we call him in COGIC, "Dean Gatlin" like for my entire life. My dad has just been ordained an elder (reverand) in the COGIC and Dean Gatlin was one of the few who stood at his ordination ceremony, much less instructed him in Bible college. Talk about six degrees of separation.
Oh, BTW, he is married to one of Bishop Winbush's daughters (Missionary Vanessa Winbush Gatlin), so from time to time it is interesting to read these posts.
Doggy, you should be proud of Dean Gatlin not only as a brother, but also as a spiritual counselor, because in this respective field, he is definitely what I would consider one of God's chosen to spiritually lead.
