Apostle James A. Winans- Jones
FGNLA Presiding Prelate

From The Apostle's Desk

I would like to take this time to thank each one of our member churches for their dedication to serving God, and to make Full Gospel a great ministry. We have a great opportunity to be a blessing not only to each other, but the Kingdom of God. I just want to take just a few minutes to remind all of us that "We Still Have Purpose", and what that purpose is.

​

Full Gospel New Life Association has what I call "Associated Purpose". This simply means that as a ministry we purpose to encourage, impart, confirm and reaffirm churches and ministries that are engaged in urban ministries and the unique situations and demands of such ministry. We want bring guidance and direction, as well as stability that will help sustain these ministries and churches in present-day truth, and associate them with the mainstream of the Body of Christ who embrace present truth. This means that we want to give training that will help to maintain or impart the anointing of the Holy Spirit that is necessary to be effective in urban areas, as well as add to the knowledge, revelation and understanding of the Word of God, not only for ministry, but also for maintaining the Christian and ethical character and integrity in the minister. We want to engage in united efforts to assist FGNLA affiliates, as well as others in their various endeavors that are birthed by the Holy Spirit, and enhance the vision of the purpose, as well as give support to affiliated churches and ministries; both national and international.  It is vital that we provide a network of counsel and advice to those of like-vision, who have already experienced some of the things that others have not experienced in order to provide a support system of various pastors and ministers in the area of marriage, morality, financial dealings, church discipline, ministerial ethics, doctrinal issues, building programs and any other needed services.

​

One of the main purposes of FGNLA is to provide "Association of Affiliation". This means that by having an affiliation with this organization, we can provide a support group for ministers and their congregation where a sense of belonging is cultivated. This in turn will give the minister‘s congregation a greater sense of confidence that their local ministry has proper covering and support. We also want to broaden the minister's vision on a national scale so they will not be locked into localism and tunnel vision, but have a global ministry mindset. We want to bring credibility to each minister's church or ministry as it relates to the Body of Christ as a whole. This will give an undergirding strength and direction not only to the Pastor, but also to the sheep they have responsibility for. Last but certainly not least, we want to help develop a kinship with other churches and ministers of like-vision worldwide. We want to build within each one of us a "global ministry". 

​

Our focus is Kingdom building, souls being saved, being reconciled back to God, set free and delivered. To teach and preach Holiness and how to live a "Victorious Life" in and through Jesus Christ. To teach the principles of how to walk with God and be successful in our relationship with Almighty God.
