This will be the last edition of the newsletter that will be received by you, our readers, before I
transition from the position of Conference Superintendent. My last day in the office is scheduled for
August 1st. That same day, Brother Danny Nelson will assume the office during the annual
Conference event.
Regenia and I would like to take this time to express appreciation for the privilege of serving our Lord
and this Conference in the role of Conference Superintendent for the past six years. I could mention
a lot of things we have done together, but I think I would prefer to write of the relationships
developed, the experiences we have shared, and the gratitude we feel for the journey we have
shared with you in Kingdom ministry. There is one result that I would like to mention that has been
done because we are learning the benefits of doing ministry together as a movement and a
conference. You ministers and churches have reported to the conference office over the last five
years: 19,382 saved, 2,356 sanctified, 969 filled with the Holy Spirit, and 4,063 new members added
to our church membership. I think you will agree with me that is worth praising God for being a part
of the Kingdom harvest! To God be the glory for the good done!
We are often asked what we plan to do after August 1st. We will certainly be catching up on some
family life with our sons, daughters, and nine grandchildren. We will enjoy friendships and activities
together. We will expand our hobbies such as gardening, golfing, fishing, and shopping (Regenia).
We would also like to continue in various ministry activities such as revivals, special day events, and
any other way that would be helpful to Brother Nelson and the conference. I have a special
passion for ministry to people and churches that are dealing with trouble and trauma. We will see
what the Lord has in mind about that part of our next season.
I plan to buy a remote controlled vacuum cleaner and stock up on paper plates to save our dish
washer from wear and tear. LOL

Hello ladies!
In the beginning of this journey my first article for the Evangel was about Remembering, Reminiscing and Rejoicing. I will
complete my article by doing some of that at this time:
As the wife of the Superintendent of the North Carolina Conference, this will be my last article to share my heart and
express my sincere gratitude to you for the privilege of connecting with so many of you the past six years at many different
events and occasions.…. Revivals, Dedications, Homecomings, District Leadership Summits, Camp meeting, Conference,
WM retreats, iWin conference, Youth Quest, Retirees events, weddings, funerals, and many other occasions.
I am truly grateful for the privilege of working with a wonderful office staff who have become dear friends.
I have been involved with the Ministers’ wives & the Deborah’s Daughters; what a blessing to know these beautiful women!
What a privilege to serve as the School of Ministry Administrative Assistant--working with the students, many of who have
become licensed or ordained ministers during this span of time. I thank you so much for your graciousness and loving
support, your prayers, your phone calls and the many expressions of kindness you’ve shown to us.
My husband and I began our ministerial journey together when we were married at Culbreth Memorial Church in Falcon, NC
on August 17, 1963. Our travels took us to Holmes Bible College in Greenville S. C. followed by 11 years of pastoring in the
Florida Conference where our 2 sons and twin daughters were born. After serving five churches in ministry (including the
Mother church of the denomination-The First Church of Goldsboro-for 27 years), having four children, nine grandchildren,
and forty-six years later, we found ourselves moving into the N. C. Conference Office on our Anniversary, August 17, 2009.
Yes, the journey has been exceptionally good, and yet humbling. The trip has had its curves, its
obstacles, the miles seemed long and weary at times (4 children and 600 miles from home in our
earlier years); but, for WHOM you were making the journey, WHO you were travelling with and
WHY you continued on when you faced the difficulties - - someway, somehow you were able to
keep your focus on the “WHY”. Our strength is in the WHY….and HE, Our LORD, is why you
continue steadfastly in the work of the Lord. Then you can look back and REMEMBER,
REMINISCE AND REJOICE over the faithfulness of our loving LORD.
My prayer…for the Father’s Divine Guidance and the Anointing Power of the Holy Spirit to rest
upon Brother Danny and Rose Nelson, who will follow us as the Superintendent’s family, and all
the leadership of this great conference.
With heartfelt appreciation for each one
Your Friend and Sister in Christ...

We would like to welcome the newest member to the Conference office family...Karina Jimenez Avila!
Karina is originally from San Jose, Costa Rica and has been living in the United States for about 14
years. She has been living in the town of Falcon for only a couple of months since she just recently
married Andrey Avila. Prior to living in Falcon, Karina lived in Greenville, NC for about 11
years. Karina is a graduate of Pitt Community College with a degree in Medical and Office
Assisting. She has been active in the ministry since very young and thoroughly loves working with
the community while expanding God’s ministry.
Karina is the new Administrative Assistant for Hispanic Ministries at the Conference office. We are so happy to have her onboard and
look forward to working alongside her and Director Fernando Angulo as they work to expand and cultivate our Hispanic congregations
in the North Carolina Conference!

North Carolina Conference
From the Vault:
Did you know? Due to an increasing
pattern of growth throughout the
conference, in 1915, a motion was
made to split the NC conference into
two separate conventions.The motion
was passed and in that moment, the
“Mother Conference” birthed the
Western North Carolina Conference
(now
known
as
Cornerstone
Conference) of the International Pentecostal Holiness Church.
For your information: Is this your church?

Psa 144:1 A Psalm of David. Blessed be the LORD my strength, which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight:
Psa 144:2 My goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and he in whom I trust; who
subdueth my people under me.
Psa 144:3 LORD, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him! or the son of man, that thou makest account of him!
Throughout history we are privileged to have the opportunity to witness the
prophetic word of GOD come to pass in the lives of many reformers, missions and
movements. In each case we will find that the spoken word of GOD would require the
faith, obedience, and participation of a people. God has always faithfully fulfilled HIS
promises! We can be assured that GOD is the same today as HE has always been.
Even as the LORD has been with HIS people throughout history, so shall HE be with
HIS people in the 21st century.
Despite the ungodliness of the culture we live in, the LORD remains our strength, and
will teach us how to war in this hour. Every facet of our lives needs to be impacted by
REV. KEVIN D. ROBINSON
the influence of the Kingdom of GOD. We are privy to put our trust in our KING! HE
Director, Multi-Cultural Ministries
will protect us, give us wisdom and strategies, and equip us to occupy our territory.
