Missions Department
The five states which comprise the South Central Region – Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and Florida - represent 44.28 million souls who will be eternally saved or lost. With approximately 150 WPF ministers in our region along with many other apostolic brethren not affiliated with the WPF, we are tasked with a huge assignment by our Master, the Lord Jesus Christ –
“Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel!” (Matthew 28:19)
Only through hearing, believing, receiving, and obeying the Gospel of Jesus Christ will any of
these 44.28 million people be saved! With our monumental assignment, however, we have also
been provided sufficient power to perform the task!
"But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be
witnesses unto me... unto the uttermost part of the earth. " (Acts 1:8)
Rev. Johnathan Howell
