Celebrating 10 Years of Pastors Jacob and Anna: A Decade of Faithful Leadership

This past month, our church came together to celebrate a truly remarkable milestone—the 10-year anniversary of Pastors Jacob and Anna's faithful leadership. It was an unforgettable event filled with joy, gratitude, and a profound sense of community.

Pastors Jacob and Anna have been pillars of strength, guiding our congregation with unwavering faith and compassion. Their dedication to serving God and our church family has inspired countless lives, bringing hope and encouragement to all who have had the privilege of knowing them.

The celebration was a beautiful reflection of the impact they’ve had on our community. From heartfelt testimonies to joyous worship, every moment was a testament to their incredible journey with us. We laughed, we cried, and we praised God for blessing us with such devoted shepherds.

As we look back on the past decade, we are reminded of the countless ways Pastors Jacob and Anna have touched our lives. Their sermons have uplifted us, their prayers have strengthened us, and their presence has been a constant source of comfort. They have walked with us through our highs and lows, always pointing us towards Christ and His unending love.

We are excited about what the future holds as we continue this journey together. With Pastors Jacob and Anna leading us, we are confident that God will continue to work wonders in our midst. Here’s to many more years of growing in faith, love, and unity.

Thank you, Pastors Jacob and Anna, for your tireless service, your endless compassion, and your steadfast commitment to our church. We are incredibly blessed to have you as our leaders. Here’s to another decade of walking hand in hand, guided by God’s grace and wisdom.

Let the Pentecostal Scholars Arise
Jacob Biswell

Hear the Word of the Lord, O people of the Spirit! A new wind is blowing, a fresh fire is kindling among the Pentecostal scholars of this generation. The time has come for a revival of the mind, a renewal of thought, a renaissance of intellectual fervor within the Pentecostal community. Let the Pentecostal scholars arise!

The Lord is calling forth men and women, anointed and filled with the Holy Spirit, to delve deep into the riches of His Word. A season of profound revelation is upon us, where theological insight will marry with spiritual passion. The days of anti-intellectualism are fading, and a new era is dawning where faith and reason will dance together in harmony.

You who have been gifted with the mind of Christ, rise up! Your studies, your research, your teachings are instruments in the hands of the Almighty. Fear not the rigors of academia, for the Holy Spirit will be your guide, leading you into all truth. Your scholarship will not be dry or devoid of power, but will be ignited with the same fire that fell on the day of Pentecost.

The Lord is raising up a generation of scholars who will defend the faith with wisdom and grace, who will articulate the doctrines of the Spirit with clarity and authority. You will engage with the world, not with a spirit of fear, but with boldness and confidence, knowing that the Spirit of God dwells within you.

Let the Pentecostal universities and seminaries be filled with the sound of diligent study and fervent prayer. Let the libraries and lecture halls become places where the presence of God is tangibly felt. The Spirit is anointing professors, researchers, and students alike to pursue excellence in their fields, to contribute meaningfully to the broader Christian intellectual tradition.

A fresh wave of Pentecostal scholarship will touch every discipline—biblical studies, theology, history, ethics, and beyond. Your work will bring light to the dark corners of misunderstanding, will break chains of ignorance, and will inspire the church to live out its mission with renewed vigor.

Do not underestimate the power of your scholarly contributions. As you write, as you teach, as you explore the depths of God's Word and His world, you are participating in the grand narrative of His kingdom. Your insights will shape the church, will influence society, and will bring glory to God.

Let the Pentecostal scholars arise, for the fields are ripe for harvest. The Lord of the harvest is calling you to labor in the vineyard of academia, to bring forth fruit that will last. Stand firm in your calling, be diligent in your studies, and remain fervent in your love for God.

The Spirit is moving among the Pentecostal scholars. The time is now. Rise up, and let your light shine!
