Waycross Aglow Lighthouse welcomes special guest speaker Dr. John Powell at 10 a.m. Saturday, October 12, at Our Beloved Church sanctuary, 1700 Osceola Avenue, Waycross.
Dr. Powell was raised in Waycross and graduated from high school in 1973. After attending Medical College of Georgia, he served as a pediatrician in the U.S. Army. He then opened a private pediatrics practice in Waycross and also began serving as director of a short-term medical mission ministry. In 1993 he sold his practice and moved to Venezuela as a full-time missionary and was Pastor of Iglesia Torre Fuerte (Strong Tower Church) in Calabozo, Venezuela for 16 years. He is married to Elsa Hernandez Powell and is the father of two children, Mike and Gaby.
He and his family currently live on a mission in Bogota, Colombia. Dr. Powell is leading Global Missions Initiative, working to establish a foundation for revival in Venezuela and other key South American countries. His desire is to mobilize God’s people to take the Gospel of the Kingdom to all nations and people groups in the world.
“When Dr. Powell is in the area, he is always welcome to come share God’s Word with us when schedules allow. We are always encouraged and challenged to be the church God is calling us to be in this hour through his timely messages,” said Rosalind Eskew, president. “All men and women are welcome to fellowship with us and sit at Jesus’ feet as we anticipate His presence with and in us.”
Dr. Powell
