Presider’s Letter
from Jan/Feb 2023 ~ The Christian Outlook
by The Pentecostal Assembles of The World - The Christian Outlook
My brothers and sisters, this is why this verse is so important to the future of the Pentecostal Assemblies of the World, our dioceses and our churches—we must continue stedfastly, without losing momentum or consistency, that which we were taught through the Word of God. However, we must each in turn model lives that can teach those coming behind us what it means to be an Apostolic believer—in word and in deed. We must not stray from consistently sharing the Word of God, guiding and loving, cultivating and creating, a strong community of Apostolic believers, for tomorrow and the days to come until the LORD cracks the sky. As God revealed these things to me, I understood all the better the importance of remembering the past to move towards the future. I understood the imperative on my life, on our lives, to bring together people from all walks of life to teach and guide into all truth. This is our burden for 2023 and beyond.
I would love if you would join Mother Brooks and I at the 2023 Summer Convention of the Pentecostal Assemblies of the World, Inc. as we live out the declaration: And They Continued. We are looking forward to a mighty move of God in St. Louis, MO on July 16- July 22, 2023. Our auxiliaries and departments have been given their marching orders. Auxiliaries have robust and thoughtful programming developed, while our Convention Management departments work diligently to provide you with a first-class experience. Please stay connected to our social media pages, follow us on Facebook and Instagram, and keep an eye on our website at www.pawinc.org for organizational and event updates.
Above all else, let us remain in a posture of prayer. Prayer is what has kept us, and it will be prayer that sustains us—as an organization, as dioceses, as churches, communities and as individuals. Prayer is the key, prayer is our foundation and prayer is our future. Stay connected as we share information regarding organizational prayer initiatives and how you can stay involved. Mother Brooks and I are always praying for you and your families. We love you to life.

The Early Elementary Resource Kit has everything you need to teach the lesson and to keep the students engaged and learning Bible truths. No need to look for additional activity pages. Our teachers are very pleased with the Resource Kit.

Excited about the winter quarter. The conference team is excited about the winter quarter lessons. We have an awesome time on Saturday morning. We love the way those lessons are connected with the Bible. We are ready to go forth. God bless Bishop Brooks and team.

I am enjoying the Adult Daily Devotional, especially how it complements the Adult Lesson Guide. As a Sunday school teacher the format enables me to connect each day with the lesson using the Scriptures, biblical insights, and devotion. I use it for daily focusing on the lesson which allows me to meditate on how and what to present to the adult Sunday school class. I like the analogy references to things in our daily lives. I believe in relating the lesson to practical application in our lives. In simple form, I teach people to be able to understand how to use the lesson in their lives. I hope the PAW bookstore and commentary staff consider using similar format in the future PAW Sunday school materials.
