Greetings MINISTERIAL
Greetings to the saints in Convocation 2024. The Lord has done great things for us whereof we’re glad. We can give the Lord thanks for his greatness and goodness in everything we truly can say thank you Jesus because we have got the victory. Many have passed, but thank God we’re here still praising the Lord. We have passed thru many valleys and storms but we can depend on God. I pray this Convocation will be a blessing and everyone that comes will have a glorious time. We are praying for a harvest of souls and people being netted in the Kingdom of God. Let us unite and worship God in the beauty of Holiness, having one desire that we may all make it to Heaven. May God bless you and keep you and I pray a blessing on us all. God Bless You! as we strive to Contend Earnestly for the Faith. from Bishop Henry J. McKoy, Sr.
Greetings to the Saints of the Most-High God. His name be exalted. We deem it a grand privilege to welcome you to Convocation 2024. We truly look forward in fellowshipping with you. May this be a life changing weekend for all those in attendance. We are living in the days when distractions and deceptions are prevalent. It behooves the children of God to be strategic and keen as we take our commitments to Christ and his church seriously. False teachers have arisen but we serve a God that is able to keep us in a corrupt world. He has never lost a battle. Be strong, let’s hold unto our Christian Orthodoxy which capsulates the doctrinal truths which have been revealed in scriptures. Be Blessed this weekend. It’s going to be an awesome conference in Jesus’ name as we Release the Sound of Pentecost. from Pastor Eulem & Missionary Sandra McKoy
Greetings to the Pompano Beach Saints, it is always a joy to be a part of this great fellowship. We apologize for Bishop’s absence this year due to his health. God has brought us from a mighty long way, and he being our great God will lead and guide us. We are wishing you a high time in the Lord and continually keep the church in prayers.
from Bishop Michael & Evangelist Eva Simms-McDonald, NJ
Holy greetings in the name of Jesus to this August body of believers. It is with great pleasure and commitment that God has afforded me to be in your company this year. We have a high expectation that we will have a great time of refreshing and revival as the saints of the most exalted God gathers together to give praises to the Lord. We pray that we will experience something spectacular as the Spirit and power of God will be evident this weekend. May he release his manifold blessings on all who are in attendance. God richly bless you.
from Pastor Dean & Evangelist Nicole Robinson, NJ

May the peace of God abide with you all as we anticipate a release of God’s glorious presence.
from Evangelist Muriel Mitchell, NJ

Bishop S. Robert Stewart is affectionately received as a “Man of a Great God”. In humility and excellence, he serves the body of Christ. Through strong Apostolic teaching, Bishop Stewart has accepted the God-given mandate to ensure the preservation and propagation of the message of the gospel. His personal motto “Focus on Jesus” has transcended countries, communities, and churches. This proclaimed motto has become the maxim by which the Pentecostal Tabernacle International family strives to live. Bishop Stewart is married to his lovely wife, Lady Jennifer Stewart, and is the father of four children, and a blessed grand-father. We welcome Bishop Stewart and the Pentecostal Tabernacle family to Convocation 2024. We know you have lived your life sir “Contending for the Faith”.
Pastor Kemoah Wray was born in the parish of St. Catherine, Jamaica. The son of Rupert and Hyacinth Wray, young Pastor Wray was raised in the church. He began singing at age three and was frequently known to sit among the prayer mothers during service. He was baptized in the Trinitarian faith at age 10 and started preaching all over Jamaica at age 12.
At the age of 15 a major prophecy was declared over Pastor Wray’s life. The Lord revealed that Pastor Wray would be used as a pastor in the last days to bring men back to God. In this time period, he also had an angelic visitation in which he saw his voice covering the globe and preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ. At age 17 Pastor Wray and his family migrated to the United States. As a Trinitarian, Pastor Wray was invited to preach and minister in song in many states, Canada, and Jamaica.
At age 22, however, his service to the Lord had a dramatic transformation.
While in Canada on a church trip, Pastor Wray was in attendance at an Apostolic church where God gave him the revelation of His oneness. Shortly thereafter he took on the name of Jesus in water baptism and his life has never been the same. Shortly after accepting the great apostolic truth, God brought Sister Kedisha Wray into his life. She is the Love of his life and works hand in hand with Pastor Wray to fulfill the call of God on their lives and the City of Poughkeepsie in NY. She is truly the helpmeet described in the Word of God. The Lord has blessed their union with three handsome boys. Josiah, Jehu and Jude.
Pastor Wray saw the Lord present him with the souls of his city and tell him to go forth and baptize them in the name of Jesus. He had a visitation in which the Lord told him that by age 25 his ministry would begin. In 2010, Pastor Wray became the Pastor of Faith Apostolic Ministries in Poughkeepsie, NY.
Pastor Wray has the same fire for souls and devotion to prayer he had as a young man. He is an anointed teacher and preacher, arming the saints with the tools they need to fulfill the great commission. He lives his favorite scripture by laboring tirelessly and steadfastly. (I Corinthians 15:58). We know you Sir are “Contending for the Faith”.

Celebrating OUR PATRIARCH ON His 95th Birthday
“How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!” Romans 10: 15
“Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord…Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them.” Psalm 127:3-5.
April 4, 2024, marks a special milestone year for the McKoy family. On this auspicious day, we commemorate our patriarch, Bishop Henry John McKoy, Sr., as he celebrates his 95th earthly birthday! We are grateful to the Lord for enabling our Dad to live to see this monumental year. For us, his children, it is, indeed, a pleasure and an honor to also celebrate and honor Daddy on this special day.
It is wonderful to still have our father with us. We can call and speak with him daily, and he is ever interceding the Lord on our behalf. He unceasingly prays for us and encourages us in our daily lives. We are so Godly proud of this milestone year in Daddy’s journey. He is a rare gem in God’s kingdom, an awesome father, grandfather, and great grandfather.
Daddy has been our mentor and certainly our hero. We are thankful that through his lived experiences, he has shown and taught us how to be good human beings, productive and contributing members of our society. Romans 10: 15 and Psalms 127: 3-5 in the opening epigraph, epitomize our admiration for this amazing giant, who has been a father to so many, not just his physical children. His life, a veritable example of total trust in God’s grace, his sound biblical teachings, and his proud Chirstian heritage will continue to be a beacon, encouraging us to grasp after spiritual gains. As we celebrate Daddy’s 95th birthday, we pray God will continue to bless and strengthen him, preserving him for many years ahead.
Daddy, we salute you today, tomorrow, and all the days, months, and years to come. You are the effectual prayer warrior whose wings engulf and surround us all. Your constant petition on our behalf continues to sustain us and we are honored to be your offsprings. Thank you for being the best father par excellence!
Happy 95th Birthday, Daddy!
Your children, Lurline, Cecil, Ralvin, Sonia, Pauline, Paul, Henry, and Ruth
Happy Birthday to
Bishop Henry J. McKoy, SR
