BISHOP P A BROOKS APPOINTS ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANTS!

Bishop P. A. Brooks, First Assistant Presiding Bishop of the Church Of God In Christ (COGIC) and prelate of the "Historic" Michigan Northeast 1st Jurisdiction has appointed 5 capable and qualified men; to serve by his side as Administrative Assistants.

In the days of the late Senior Bishop C. H. Mason (founder of the Church Of God In Christ) bishops had assistants, which were known as "assistant bishops." Later, under the tenure of the late Presiding Bishop J. O. Patterson, Sr., it was requested that the title be changed to "administrative assistant," due to the fact that it is only the "national" that can make bishops in the Church.

Thus, an administrative assistant helps to carry the load of the jurisdictional prelate; in his duties of administration over the jurisdiction. While it is a prestigious position; it requires much prayer, as the assistant upholds the hands of the leader. It is even a greater responsibility; when your bishop serves as the 1st Assistant to the leader of the denomination.

The International Department of Evangelism is extremely godly proud and happy for our treasurer, who is one of the men that was elevated. Congratulations to everyone; but especially our own ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT KEVELIN JONES, treasurer of the International Department of Evangelism and pastor of the Bountiful Love COGIC of Flint, Michigan.
