Ful illing the Mandate allows us as a fellowship to look to the future while presently engaging the work of the Lord. Contemporary times are rife with various Rev. Dr. Pat Glasgow, General Bishop kinds of carefully crafted distractions to our faith that we are hard pressed to ight.

Join us as we chart a course for PAWI that will see us better prepared to address issues the bible tells us will come upon the world. The mandate must be ful illed regardless of the perilous times.
