2 LXi generaL convention // united in the power of the hoLy spirt
People of God,
Praise the Lord!
Welcome to our Sixty-First General Convention! Thank you for attending and being part of the vision that God has for our Church.
The organizing Committee and the army of volunteers unite in this welcome and are ready to assist and help you in all that is within their reach. Do not hesitate to ask them.
This Convention is oriented toward the apostolic family. We want all (from the youngest to the eldest) to leave renewed and with God’s power. Not only to con-tinue on in your churches but to continue on as ap-ostolic families with principles and values that are so necessary in the midst of a decaying society.
Every service, every conference and every event have been designed thinking of each of you. I am believing that everyone will receive a word that will encourage and strengthen them to continue on. We are still savoring the blessings of last year’s Convention and I am sure that this year will be even better. God never ceases to surprise me.
This year, once again, with the help of the City of Long Beach, CA, we will be offering free lunch to all pastors and their families. These days include Wednesday through Friday, we will also offer a Thanksgiving Day lunch for you to enjoy with your families.
Bishop John &Sis. Sara Fortino
Welcome toGeneralconvention 2016

United in the Power of the Holy Spirit we will see great and extraordinary things that God will give us to strengthen our present and project ourselves toward the future. There is no one nor anything that can rise up against a “united” church who has the power of the Holy Spirit. If He decides to do so … the Lord Himself will fight for us. He will defeat our enemy before our eyes and will give us the victory.
Saturday night, we will have a special event where I will be introducing the National Theme for 2017. Arrive early. My wife, Sara, and I love you in the Lord and want you to feel good, to be comfortable and that you enjoy a blessed spiritual time. If you see us walking by we want you to greet us.
Many blessings and rejoice with those that rejoice!
Fraternally,
Bishop, J. Fortino
