Welcome Family and Friends,
and Bless the Lord for HIS magnificent working in our lives!
Happy 9th Anniversary, For1Vision Church family. This year’s theme: The Season of Open Doors! Revelations 3:8 I know your works. See I
have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it, for you have a little strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My name”.
It’s been a journey of blessings and challenges, but all praises to Jehovah,
we are NOT done yet! When I think about the grace and favor of our
God and how He has been with us from the beginning until now, Glory HALLELUJAH, is my response!
He’s the “Air that fills my lungs” and the life that sustains me and us for HIS Glory! May we each continue to draw closer in love with a pure heart to HIM and to each other!
Grace and Peace! Pastor Rodney
For1Vision Church, also known as 4-1, is a non-denominational ministry which began in the heart
of God and by Grace was birthed through the ministry of Pastor Rodney Smiling on July 5, 2009. For1Vision serves as a vehicle for teaching and promoting unity within the Body of Christ. It is a
ministry of reconciliation that is committed to demonstrating the Gospel of Jesus Christ, teaching Unity, and guiding God’s people to realize their purposes while fully utilizing their gifts to make a difference in the church and in the world around them. Through 4-1, many are learning and
growing from the truth that comes from God’s word, while putting into practice what it means to allow the Lord to use them.
Staying true to His word, God has accomplished a great deal through For1Vision in a short period of time. During its first two years, For1Vision distributed a monthly newsletter called Oneness,
which impacted the Body of Christ with teachings on unity. Today, that message continues through
online streaming of inspirational videos through For1Global and the distribution of bible study materials. The ministries that were established in the first year of For1Vision—Tuesday night bible study, Women with Vision, Purpose, and Destiny, Youth Ministry, the Praise & Worship Team,
and the Prayer Line—continue to grow and prosper under the leading of God’s Spirit. The list of auxiliaries has expanded over the subsequent years, and now includes the Oneness Committee,
Men’s Ministry, Health and Wellness, and Evangelism and Outreach. Through these mediums 4-1 is making an impact locally and nationally, and the prayer line brings together people from various churches and walks of life.
For1Vision Church is now poised for its ninth year of ministry, The Season of Open Doors (Revelations 3:8). In this new season, 4-1 will move forward with God’s vision, as we anticipate a
greater dimension of ministry and favor in the lives of each member. Staying true to our mission, For1Vision will continue to unify and empower believers in Worship, Prayer and impartation of God’s Holy Word, transform families and build leaders after God’s own heart. For1Vision is called
to be a peacemaker and to restore order where there is confusion. By God’s grace, 4-1 serves as a
place of restoration where the lost can come home, the disenchanted can find rest, the broken can be healed, and many are released to accomplish their God-given destiny. For1Vision Church is a Call to Unity.

John H. Armstrong is an ordained Minister of the Gospel. He graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Theology and Religious Education from the Eastern Bible Institute, Class of 1985 and a Master of Theology Degree from Freedom Bible College and Seminary, Class of 2016. In 1985 he became one of the founding members of the City Wide Evangelistic Ministries (C.W.E.M.) of Jersey City, New Jersey where he served as Vice President and Instructor in their Bible Institute and is presently serving as President.
In 1992 John H. Armstrong became an active Minister with the “Hallelujah” Christian Fellowship Word of Faith Ministries of Union, New Jersey. He served under the leadership of Bishop Eddie Bennett, Jr. While there he served on the Board of Trustees, Van Ministry, Men’s Fellowship Ministry, and as a Nursing Home Ministry Instructor. In addition, he conducted seminars on “Christian Maturity,” “Spiritual Warfare,” “Christian Conduct,” etc. for various local churches.
In 1999 John H. Armstrong was called to the position of Pastor for the New Light Baptist Community Church of Cliffwood Beach, New Jersey, where he is currently serving under the leadership of the Holy Spirit.
In 2005 being lead by the Holy Spirit, Pastor John H. Armstrong, along with various other local church leaders saw the need to pull together to do a collective work to evangelize the community. From this need the Clergy United For Christ (C.U.F.C.) was formed. In September, 2012 the Lord found favor and blessed Pastor John H. Armstrong in the marriage union with Sister Gwendolyn Freeman, a wise and spiritual First Lady who has a strong passion to do His will and a great supporter in the pastoral ministry. He is the father of four children, Myrna, John, Jr., Joshuwa and Jamilla (Joy). He is also the grandfather of nine, Ashley, Saadiq, Jr., Jonice, Taneyah, Janelle, Jazmine, Angelica, Joshuwa, Jr. and Asaad.
The most important thing Pastor John H. Armstrong would like anyone to remember about him is that he became born again in July 1978 and that he “determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and that Him crucified.” His primary goal in life is to please his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
