About 18 months ago God began to set in motion the renewing
of the Pentecostal Church of God in the United Kingdom. Initiated by our field representative,
Rev. Curtis Peart, with contact given to us by Bishop Secku of Ghana, this journey
unfolded with great speed. That initial contact began with Rev. Daniel Attoh,
pastor of Dominion Chapel International in Manchester, England.
Over the past 18 months there have been a number of
individuals that have been instrumental in getting this new international
initiative off the ground. My personal thanks go to the following: Bishop Charles and Janice Scott; Rev. Curtis
Peart, World Missions Field Representative; Rev. Joe and Teena Skiles,
President Daniel and Rhonda Davis; Caleb Smith; Brooke Skiles; Jonathan
Kincaid; Jon and Rachel Skiles; Mary Price; and, Janie Kincaid. In addition to these there are many in
England that we are extremely grateful for their contributions to this effort. To name each and every one at this juncture
would be very difficult.
The effort over the past number of months culminated in the
inaugural Pentecostal Church of God United Kingdom Convention held in Manchester,
England July 25-27. During the day breakout sessions were held on various
topics of ministry. In the evening dynamic worship services were conducted
punctuated by anointed preaching of the Word. Jon and Rachel Skiles conducted children’s
ministry in conjunction with the evening services. Attendance continued to grow
service by service with over 300 attending the last night.
Officers appointed to serve for the next two years are:
National Bishop, Rev. Daniel Attoh; National Secretary-Treasurer, Rev. Peter
Djabang; Executive Board Members, Rev. Lynwall Powell and Rev. Theo Benning.
The closing service was held on Sunday morning/afternoon July
28 at Dominion Chapel International PCG with a powerful move of the Holy
Spirit. During the remainder of the day everyone enjoyed a feast of England
style bar-b-que.
There is no doubt that God has put His signature on this
expansion of His kingdom in the United Kingdom. Our prayers continue for Bishop
Attoh and all of those who now march forward in unison to reclaim England and
the U.K. for Christ.
