Administrative Bishop & Convention Host
Welcome
Dear delegates
Sonia and I are delighted to welcome you to the New Testament Church of God’s Xxth National Convention here at the International Convention Centre, Newport Wales.
This year’s convention under the theme GROW, promises to be an exciting time of worship, fellowship and the word as we celebrate the extension of the kingdom of God.
We have opted to keep the previous format having all our ministry groups join together for one big celebration, ranging from our awards luncheon celebrating 60 & 50 years of our Women’s and Men’s ministry respectively, GROW leadership workshop, Emerging Ministers – Everyday Theology session, Children’s and Youth sessions, Leadership Training Centre taster sessions and in the evenings, a powerful worship experience.
We encourage you to visit as many of the sessions as possible and of course the obligatory stop at our NTCG merchandise stand.
We’re blessed and extremely pleased to welcome back to the U.K. Bishop William Lee as our convention speaker a powerful and anointed servant of the Lord. We welcome him First Lady Sheila and his guests from the Victorious Life Church in Georgia.
Massive thanks to Bishop Wayne Perkins and his team, who have worked especially hard to make the experience a pleasurable one.
Huge thanks to Bishop Webley Nat Sec Treasurer, Leony Titus my Executive Assistant and all the staff at head office who ensure we’re sound administratively and otherwise. Special mention must be made of Viv Welsh who after 35 years as a member of staff says farewell, she will be sorely missed.
Finally I want to thank our pastors and their spouses who serve faithfully on the frontline of ministry, the men and women who with God’s help, make us GROW.
