Easter to Pentecost - Upcoming Focuses

by Kevin Brown Apr 24, 2025, 14:52 PM

 

Greetings PAOC family,

I trust this brief message finds you well in this season as we carry out the mission of Christ. We are praying that as we focus on the cross and Jesus’s sacrificial death that we would realize anew the depth of the price our Saviour paid for our sins so that we could know a personal relationship with the One we call Lord. Praying you remain filled with thankfulness to the Lord for the resurrection power He showed to this world and that you share the truths of this Easter season with boldness and clarity. 

At our recent National Leadership and AGM Day, I shared briefly of our 50 Day Focus from Easter Sunday to Pentecost Sunday.  Watch for our 50 Day Focus communication pieces via email and social media in the weeks between now and Pentecost Sunday. Each week between Easter and Pentecost Sunday, June 8, we will share some inspiring stories and devotionals, scriptures and prayers, and resources around the theme of being “Called Ones.”  These are for your personal encouragement and to use in your ministry contexts as you see fit.

Because of Christ and His great love for us…

  • We are called to the cross and to the empty tomb.
  • We are called to the Emmaus Road.
  • We are called to live a life of faith.
  • We are called to be sent out.
  • We are called to live out the Great Commission.
  • We are called to kingdom purpose.
  • We are called to wait, seek, repent and receive the promised Holy Spirit.
  • And, we are called to be His witnesses until all the world has heard. 

There will be follow-up opportunities for training with “Pray For All” and Brian and Mercy Alarid.  We were blessed to have Brian share with us at our leadership day on March 25 and many in our PAOC family have been inquiring as to how you can receive training around making “Every Church a House of Prayer.”  We are working on the details that you will hear about soon, but in the meantime, keep on praying for your FIVE using the B.L.E.S.S. method of praying for them, listening to them, eating with them, serving, and sharing Jesus with them.

Praying your this season will be BLESSED in every way as you walk in the calling the Lord has on your life!

David Wells,
General Superintendent
