179th Tri-Annual Conference (Peace Apostolic)

My extended greetings and honor, first and foremost, to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ; to the Resident Bishops, Suffragan Bishops, District Elders, Pastors, Delegates, and Guests of this great 179th Tri-Annual California District Council Conference! I feel the great move of God upon this conference, as we have all had significant and tremendous accomplishments, undertakings, and other momentous events to transpire since our last assembling. However, through it all, we have remained steadfast towards our conference theme, “Working as a Team to Fulfill the Dream”. Once again I commend our CDC Chairman, Dr. Robert T. Douglas, Sr., along with the program and planning committees, who have secured skilled, knowledgeable, and professional facilitators for the scheduled events, geared towards meeting the needs of our delegates and members; providing them with the tools necessary to become “kingdom builders.” Let us also not be remised in remembering those precious warriors and pillars that have gone home with the Lord; we honor them for their labor and support sown into this great council. In conclusion, I exhort every member to get into alignment, put their hands to the plow, and support this conference as we expand the vision by “Working as a Team to Fulfill the Dream.”

“I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly, because you tread on my dreams” William Butler Yeats

Honor and glory to my Monarch His Majesty The Lord Jesus Christ, King of all Kings and Lord of all lords; to my fellow comrades in the brigade of oneness, The Honorable Diocesan Henry L. Johnson, Resident Bishops, Suffragan Bishops, District Elders, Pastors, Delegates, all guests, well-wishers and friends, greetings and welcome to our 179th Tri-Annual California District Council Conference here in the friendly and peaceful city of Carson, California! On behalf of the entire constituency of the Greatest Episcopal District of the Pentecostal Assemblies of the World, Inc., we are truly grateful and excited about the "Promised and Anointed Visitation" of the Holy Ghost that is scheduled to appear in all of our worship-oriented and Christ-centered business activities, void of measure. Our purpose and desire is that each attendee feel welcomed, invited and excited about our "Five Star" fellowship conference that is here for all to embrace. Also, bear in mind that this modified design of conference operation was created with your personal and spiritual growth as our primary goal. Therefore, embrace this opportunity for vision expansion and team inclusion void of any compromise in doctrinal truths or moral ethics, and do not permit any adversarial source to block you from benefiting from the activities being conducted at this 179th Tri-Annual Conference. Selah! So I trust that you will take advantage of what the Lord has to offer throughout the duration of the time we will fellowship together here at Peace Apostolic Church. I would also like to make mention that we as a council are most humble and appreciative of the precious love and genuine "Christian" hospitality that the Lord has favored us with from Suffragan Bishop Howard and First Lady Patricia Swancy and the Peace Apostolic Church family. The Blessing of The Lord Be Upon Each of Us! According To His Will Suffragan Bishop Robert T. Douglas, Sr., Ph.D. Chairman California District Council 16th Episcopal District, Pentecostal Assemblies of the World, Inc.
