Pastor's Journal

Sam Ajayi has had a busy week in Chile. First, he met with four pastors whose churches sprang from the Apostolic Faith. He explains that many years ago a Chilean man visited the United States as a diplomat and returned to Chile with the teachings of the Apostolic Faith Church. Another man, Juan Reyes, took hold of those teachings and four churches came of it. Brother Juan died last year at the age of ninety-eight, asserting that those four churches would someday be united with their roots.

Dwight Baltzell and Darry Northup arrived in South Africa on Thursday. Brother Dwight said there were about 200 in attendance during the first meeting, but with each service, the numbers increased until expectations were exceeded. He estimated that about 300 attended on Friday morning and 400 on Friday evening. By Easter Sunday he said there must have been over a thousand people present.

Howard Wilson, pastor of our church in Richmond, California, and his wife, Gale, share that camp meeting in Norway has been a great time of learning, fellowship, and church services. The events began Palm Sunday weekend before the official start of the camp meeting.
