Dr. John Powell will be the guest speaker for the Aglow Lighthouse meeting Saturday, Oct. 11.
The event will begin at 10 a.m. and will be held in the sanctuary of Our Beloved Church, 1700 Osceola Avenue, Waycross. Dr. Powell is a missionary/ evangelist who was raised in Waycross and graduated from high school in 1973. After attending Medical College of Georgia, he served as a pediatrician in the U.S. Army. Then he opened a private pediatrics practice in Waycross and also began serving as director of a short-term medical mission ministry. In 1993, he sold his practice and moved to Venezuela as a full-time missionary and was Pastor of Iglesia Torre Fuerte (Strong Tower Church) in Calabozo, Venezuela for 16 years. He is married to Elsa Hernandez Powell and is the father of two children, Mike and Gaby.
He and his family currently live on a mission in Bogota, Colombia. Dr. Powell is leading Global Missions Initiative, working to establish a foundation for revival in Venezuela and other key South American countries. His desire is to mobilize God’s people to take the Gospel of the Kingdom to all nations and people groups in the world.
“We are always encouraged by hearing how God is moving in the hearts of people around the world. Dr. Powell is training and mentoring young men and women in South America and beyond in church leadership and to be salt and light in their towns and villages in sometimes very hostile situations,” states Rosalind Eskew, president. “All men and women are welcome to join us.”
