PAOC Celebrating Centennial on Pentecost SundayPentecostSunday
By David Wells, General Superintendent. Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada

It is a personal privilege and a sobering responsibility to be serving as the general superintendent of our Fellowship of churches, ministries and credentialed ministers as we head into the second century of our existence. Our 100th anniversary as the PAOC is being celebrated on Pentecost Sunday, June 9, 2019. It is an excellent opportunity to thank the Lord for the faithfulness and fruitfulness of past and present generations of Canadian Pentecostals.

As we cross into the future, it is a responsibility of spiritual leadership to hear what the Lord of the church would say to us by His Spirit at this time. 

Pre-eminently, I believe the Lord's call is for Canadian Pentecostals to remember and return to their "first love" (Revelation 2:4). Our spiritual vitality is rooted in a passionate hunger to love our God in a wholehearted, whole-minded and whole-life manner.  Read more.
