“…For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope.”
1 Corinthians 9:10

Praise the Lord!
I bring you greetings from the Church of Our Lord Jesus Christ and the Ecclesia of Region 12. I thank God for you, your labor in the body of Christ, and for your support of Region 12. I am pleased and honored to serve as Regional Apostle for this August body and I am confident that God is going to bless our endeavors as we will ourselves to His plan for our lives.

I am passionate about the theme for our region, “Plow in Hope”. It epitomizes the commission that I set before each of you, the laity, the pastors, and the bishops that, in faith and hope, and as we work the land—the vineyards of our local churches, God will assuredly bless our labor as we reap the harvest of souls. I especially want to encourage our pastors that, as you plow, plow with intent; plow with dedication, purpose and in hope—knowing that you labor will not be in vain.

I join you in your desire to win souls for the Kingdom. Paul planted. Apollos watered. But, it is God that gives the increase. As we remain committed, consistently planting and watering, surely God will send the increase and the abundance of harvest to our local churches and the body of Christ.

United together we can take our cities, our communities and families as we do the work of Him that has called us. Mother Shirley Clark and I pray that God’s blessings rest upon you and that you fulfill the call that He has on your life.

Your Servant in Christ
Bishop James I. Clark, Jr., Ed. D
Presiding Apostle – Region 12
