We greet you in the name of God’s Ultimate Gift,
Jesus Christ. We thank Father, Son and Holy Spirit for
the blessing of sharing our second annual report
with the African Methodist Episcopal Church, 11th
Episcopal District and South Annual Conference, our
second annual report.
Teams throughout the year to make a difference
in the lives of others and to make God smile. Our
commitment to the community continues to increase
as we seek new ways to touch lives and meet needs
not just here in South Florida, but all over this country,
Haiti and in Southern Africa.
During 2014-2015, which we declared our “Season
of Increase,” this Kingdom Movement called the
Immanuel Temple witnessed 9 people receive the gift
of salvation and 122 people unite with our fellowship.
During our “Season of Increase,” the grace of our
Abba Father truly blessed us to go “higher up and
deeper in” the life-transforming power of the Gospel
of Jesus Christ. We feasted on God’s Word through
preaching, teaching, learning in iGrow small groups,
weekly iStudy, Bible Studies and living the reality of
God’s Kingdom among us.
God blessed us to tithe back into the community
more than $52,000. As part of that, we also shared
$10,000 to support the work of the A.M.E. Church.
We thank God for our iBecome Youth Ministry and
the indelible impact of Rev. Candice Austin Wynn’s
ministry on the lives of our youth. As God leads us
to a permanent replacement, we praise God for
Rev. Wendell Paris leading our Youth Ministry as
we continue to make preparations for 2016 Haiti
Spring Break Mission Trip. This will be our fourth time
repairing and restoring the physical structure of a
local orphanage in Haiti, while at the same time
preparing our high school and college students to
live in the Kingdom of God here on earth.
This year we challenged the members of Immanuel
Temple to share in Kingdom Opportunities to spread
the love of Jesus. We gathered in Love Out Loud (LOL)
To Immanuel Temple, the grace of God that allows
us to share with you is truly amazing. Thank you for
giving more than $520,000 in tithes and offerings. We
praise God for each servant leader, each member
of the ministerial, music and administrative staffs,
Kingdom partners and all of the Immanuel Temple
Kingdom Movement members for your sacrifices and
tireless efforts.
All about the Kingdom of God,
Rev. John F. White II,
Pastor
