FROM THE VICE PRESIDENT

Greetings in Jesus Name!

First and foremost, I want to thank God, for entrusting me with such a high honor and privilege of serving His church, the Apostolic Assembly, in the capacity of Vice-President. With much fear and reverence, my desire is to serve God’s people with the care and love they deserve. My goal is to support and serve our President, Bishop Felipe Salazar, and the vision God has given him to lead His people in times such as these. We are grateful for the opportunity and trust of the pastors, and are committed to fulfill our assignment and duties respectfully and with integrity.

As the Vice-President, I am overseer of the Constitution Revision Commission and editor of the editions of the Constitution of the Apostolic Assembly. We will continue working with excellence on our Constitution, the bylaws of the Confederations, and all commissions assigned to us. The General Conventions, National Conferences, Legislative Conventions, Joint Bishops and Episcopal Meetings, are also under my care and supervision. Our desire is to serve our Bishops and pastors with the highest integrity, respect, and excellence.

We have been given the assignment of completing our Headquarters facilities remodel. We are on the final phase of our construction project. Our goal is to complete this project by June 2023 and with the help of the Lord, we will celebrate an inauguration, ribbon cutting ceremony, of our Headquarters General Offices soon thereafter.

We covet your prayers, as we move forward in the will of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, in preparing His church for His return. “And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.” Colossians 3:23-24

In Jesus Name!

Bishop Joseph V. Rodríguez, Vice President
