"

Blessings to all of you. In recent months, Kimberly and I have felt the relentless urging of the Holy Spirit to move forward with the possibility of becoming lead pastors of Bethesda Community Church. On Sunday, Kimberly and I were elected with a strong 88% vote. Of course, our hearts remain with our PCG family, so not only will we continue to honor our credentials, but the leadership of Bethesda will also honor our denominational covering by becoming a cooperative fellowship church with thePCG. This missional church looks forward to getting better acquainted with One Mission—One Movement and our great U.S. and global family.

To preserve unity, I will be transitioning from my role as General Bishop/Business Manager of the Pentecostal Church of God, and Kimberly will do the same from her position as Director of Empowered Women's Ministries. However, because we recognize the great challenges that exist in serving in these capacities and in preparing for the upcoming General Assembly, which will take place in just a few short months, we arerequesting the opportunity to transition well by serving you until the 2025 General Assembly, where an election for the next General Bishop should occur.

Although in a different capacity, Kimberly and I are excited to continue partnering with you from our headquarters city to fulfill our global, decadal goals during this first decade of a 2^nd-Century PCG. By God’s grace, we will reach…

• 100 nations
• 10,000 ministers & churches
• 10,000 next-gen leaders
• 1,000,000 Christ-followers.

 We have been humbled to serve our great movement for almost eight years in this capacity. Together, we will continue to impact eternity for the glory of God.
