Praising God for the work and the leader of the work!
We celebrate the Presiding Bishop of the 17th Episcopal District Bishop Vernon R Byrd Jr. Esq. for holding on and being resilient as he finalises the Zambian based Annual Conferences.
Bishop is conducting Nine (9) Annual Conferences in the 2026 Series across the Episcopal District.
The Annual Conference sessions are punctuated by great testimonies of the impact of Living Water Wells, improved quality of life of Pastors and Communities. During the North East Zambia Annual Conference Bishop paid special recognition to Melech E. M. Thomas for mobilising his friends in the United States to visit Zambia and be part of the Water Wells Project.
The Sons of Allen of the Episcopal District have helped Pastors with Bicycles and Clerical shirts and collars. They have travelled to all the Five Annual Conferences in Zambia.
The Bishop has hosted Rev. Jonathan Weaver, Rev. kamaria McAllister-Byrd, Rev. Joseph Cousin Snr, Rev. DrAbdue Knox, Rev. Dr. Ronald Slaughter and Rev. Dr. Willie Eugene Marshall as Special Guests from the United States of America in all the Conferences that have preached the Ordination Services.
During the Vision Conference, Dr. John Thomas III the Editor of the Christian Recorder and AMEC Department of Global Witness and Ministry Executive Director Rev. Dr. John Green were special guests.
The visits have also strengthened the AME Connectionalism, fellowship and interactions with other members and leaders.
