FRESH 

Snow 

No matter how inconvenient accumulating snow fall is, I still love it! 

There is hardly anything like waking up to freshly fallen snow 

that blankets yards, sidewalks and streets before anyone has 

a chance to put tracks in them. It feels clean and pure – even 

the crisp air brings a sense of exhilaration. 

Every time we turn the page of the calendar from December 

to January, I feel like there is a new beginning in front of me. 

A chance to start out fresh to make another run at my goals 

in life and ministry. I have to confess that I used to fill out my 

ACMR as quickly as possible so that we could see where we 

had been (tracks in the snow?) and map out strategies for 

making improvements in outreach and discipleship. (Actually 

– those strategies had been in process since October’s annual 

personal planning retreat and November’s annual calendar 

meeting.) I love Christopher Wright’s statement that “the God 

revealed in the Scriptures is personal, purposeful and 

goal-orientated.” 1 I resonate with that description of God! 

A lot of my reading is (of necessity) focused on the Missio 

Dei, which is Latin for the “mission of God.” Whatever we are 

about as a church – whatever drives us to have meetings and 

exist as a church and fellowship – the centerpiece revolves 

around God’s mission. If I understand God’s mission correctly, 

it could be stated as God redeeming His creation to its 

original state. I understand that this is oversimplified (entire 

books are written to describe God’s mission and its scope). 

We look back with gratitude for what the Lord has done in 

us, and we look forward with anticipation to what the Lord 

is yet to do through us. January will soon be here – and by 

the grace of God, we will leave our “tracks” in our church, 

community and world. 

At our THRIVE Conference this past fall, we drilled down into 

the five ministry gifts listed in Ephesians 4:11. How do these 

ministry gifts look in a local church context? How do they 

function in the 21st century? If we conclude that the five-fold 

ministry gifts are all about titles and hierarchy, I think that 

we’ve missed the point of Ephesians 4 entirely. But if they are 

about effectively functioning to carry out God’s mission in the 

world, then maybe these five ministry gifts have an application 

that is not only needed, but essential, in our world and 

through the church today. As we move into the new year, it is 

my prayer for our churches that we will stay on mission, and 

that we will fully utilize ALL of the gifts in their correct biblical 

context to see God’s mission forward. 

There’s fresh snow out there; let’s make sure to leave our tracks – 

make our mark – for the gospel in our communities.

• IN MEMORIAM • 

Harold Crosby 

(September 29, 1916 — October 20, 2019) 

Written by: Don Immel, PennDel Ministry Network Superintendent 

I 

always enjoyed sitting 

down and talking with 

Harold Crosby. Harold 

was a walking, talking 

book of facts! He not 

only remembered events 

with clarity but also the 

dates that corresponded 

to the events. That was 

especially helpful when 

we were preparing 

for our centennial 

celebration as a Network. 

Harold ministered 

in fourteen different 

Assembly of God 

districts and visited sixty 

countries as Missions Director, leading MAPS Teams and preaching the gospel 

at every opportunity. He directed Kid’s Camps, authored Sunday School 

training courses and recorded numerous Sunday School teaching series and 

Children’s Church teaching series with his wife, Lorene. 

In my own life and ministry, Harold was a tremendous influence. I invited 

Harold to speak at our first missions convention at Faith AG in Uniontown. He 

LOVED missions and was both passionate and articulate in inviting others to 

participate through prayer and financial support. But it was afterwards – when 

we were having lunch – that Harold gave me some valuable tips on church 

finances – tips that I adhered to throughout my pastoral ministry. 

As I reflect on the life and ministry of Brother Crosby, I am amazed at the 

thread of continuity that is demonstrated in the way that he served the 

Lord. He had a long-standing value of the Spirit-filled life. In a conversation 

preparing for our Network’s centennial, Harold reflected that he became a 

“black sheep” in his family during his youth because of his affiliation with the 

Pentecostal movement. Despite that consequence, Harold said “those are 

my kind of people, and I’ve been one of them ever since.” He had a heart for 

kids, a heart for missions and a heart for the lost. Those values can be seen 

in the way that God used him in ministry as a church planter, as “Mr. Sunday 

School” and as our Network Missions Director. Harold lived to be 103 – his 

was a life well-lived! ~ Who can count the dust of Jacob, and the number of 

the fourth part of Israel? 

Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my 

last end be like his! (Numbers 23:10; KJV)

RELATIONSHIPS WITHIN 

THE FIVE-FOLD 

As pastors and leaders of churches, God has called each of us into 

the ministry. But the direction that calling takes is different for each individual based on the 

giftings that He has given you. There are the manifestational gifts found in 1 Corinthians 12 and 

the ministry gifts found in Romans 12. There are also the motivational, or five-fold, gifts found in 

Ephesians 4: apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers. 

Most people have a primary and secondary gifting. My primary gifting is pastor/teacher, and I lean 

towards apostolic as secondary. This means that I lean into teaching the Word of God, giving 

practical takeaways, writing bottom lines and helping people understand what the Bible says. But I 

also invest in seeing God’s Kingdom expand. What about you? Maybe your primary gifting is pastor 

and you lean more toward evangelist or prophet. 

Christ gave all of these giftings to work together to equip His people and build up the church. This 

means that no one person can do it all on his or her own! When you know your own giftings, you 

can then find others who have different gifts and work cooperatively to be most effective. 

One way we have done that at GT Church is by having an evangelist on our team. We support 

Greg Hubbard’s ministry financially, and he helps to equip our people to be more evangelistic. 

He preaches at GT throughout the year while bringing strong altar calls, leading missions trips and 

holding refresh services. Another way that we’ve done this in the past is through supporting those 

with an apostolic gift by having a missionary house - a place for missionaries to stay while 

on furlough. 

Maybe your church isn’t able to do either of those things, but it’s important for you to determine 

what you can do. While it’s true that sometimes you will be called on to do the work of a gifting that 

may not be your strength, it’s important to seek out individuals with those giftings and allow them to 

be used. 

Imagine what God can do when all of the gifts are being used in ministry. 

If you have questions about what this could look like for your church, 

I’d be happy to talk with you. Please feel free to call me at 610-678-0266.

DISCERNMENT 

A Fresh Look at our Spiritual Lives 

Each new year is a time for personal evaluation. As leaders 

working in a five-fold ministry gifting, this checklist is a great tool to 

help us and our teams discern how we are doing: 

» Are we scriptural, or does what we preach and teach not line up with the Bible? 

» Do we confess and point to Jesus, or do we take the emphasis off Him and 

highlight other things instead? 

» Are our prayer lives apparent and robust, or do we not care about our own time 

with God because we are just “too busy” with other “important” work? 

» Do we evidence the fruit of the Spirit or the sins of the flesh? Are we prickly? 

What readily leaks out of us in stressful situations or when we don’t get our way? 

» Do we live holy lives, or are we toying with various immoral behaviors or 

questionable ethics? Is our speech unclean; do we tell off-color jokes? 

» Are we humble, preferring others above ourselves, or are we prideful, drawing 

attention to ourselves? 

Adapted from Dr. Carolyn 

Tennant and Dr. Joseph 

Girdler’s book, Keys to the 

Apostolic and Prophetic: 

Embracing the Authentic 

- Avoiding the Bizarre, 

(Louisville, KY: Meadow 

Stream Publishing, 2019), 

154–155. 

» Are we willing to suffer for Christ’s sake and pay the price that comes with our 

calling, or are we looking for ease? 

» When we have a tough message to give from God, do we share this with pain 

and the fear of the Lord or with haughtiness and a judgmental spirit, evidencing a 

self-righteous attitude? 

» Do we want to move toward unity, being peacemakers and drawing people 

together, or are we divisive and leave factions in our wake? 

» Are we no respecter of persons, clearly loving everybody no matter our race, 

culture, gender, looks, health, or financial status, or do we try to get into the 

graces of the “right folks”? 

» Through the grace of God, do we move in the gifts of the Spirit and follow His 

leading, or are we not sensitive to the Holy Spirit and His direction, desiring to be 

in personal control? 

» Are we teachable and open to correction, guidance, and growth in our ministry, 

or are we “above” any of these things, acting as if we really don’t need anybody 

else telling us anything? 

» Are we full of integrity, transparent, and humanly “real,” or are we masquerading, 

hiding our inner selves, full of deceit? 

» Are we real servants to others, or do we expect to be served and honored by 

others? 


GUEST CONTRIBUTOR Pastor Joe Terreri 

Four Takeaways from the 

THRIVE CONFERENCE 

I had the opportunity to bring our pastoral staff to the THRIVE 

Conference this fall. We were all challenged, encouraged and inspired 

by our time with our PennDel Ministry Network family and Dr. Carolyn 

Tennant. Here are four takeaways from our time at the THRIVE 

Conference. 

1. 

2. 

That was the clearest biblical teaching on the role of the 

prophet we had ever heard. For many on our team, our experience had 

been that most teaching on prophetic ministry usually veers off into the bizarre 

and downright goofy. We were genuinely informed by Dr. Tennant’s teaching on 

prophetic ministry in the local church. We walked away from Tuesday morning’s 

session desiring to stay open to how the Spirit of God is desiring to speak to our 

church through those with the gift of prophecy. 

Evangelism is more effective when we try to identify where 

the Spirit is already working in people’s lives. Instead of trying to “do 

evangelism” as some kind of scripted speech or forced conversation, Dr. Tennant 

challenged us to approach evangelism with the mindset of joining with God where 

He is already at work in the lives of people who are far from Him. In my mind that 

takes the pressure off me to say the right words and instead to listen to both the 

person we are trying to share the Gospel with and to what the Spirit is wanting to 

say through us. 

Joe is the Lead Pastor of 

Connection Church in North 

Coventry, PA. He has served 

at Connection (formerly 

Spring Valley Community 

Church) for 13 years. He is 

a 2006 graduate from the 

University of Valley Forge. 

He is married to Cheryl, 

and they have four children: 

Joseph (12), Lucy (10), Olivia 

(7) and Ezra (5 months). 

3. 

4. 

Those with apostolic giftings need to discern where they should 

put their focus. As Dr. Tennant pointed out, those with apostolic giftings can 

have so much passion to push back the darkness and take new territory for Christ’s 

Kingdom that they can have trouble knowing where they should invest their time 

and energy because they are so aware of the needs all around them. The challenge 

to discern where God is calling us to focus in the midst of lots of opportunity was 

helpful for our team. 

Healthy Pastors, Thriving Churches is a vision I believe in. I love 

the direction our Network is going. It was so encouraging to head home from the 

THRIVE Conference with so many helpful takeaways that were enriching for both 

my own life and Connection Church. It’s a privilege to be a part of what God is 

doing in the PennDel Network. I can’t even begin to imagine what God could do 

through a group of pastors who are committed to being whole and healthy human 

beings as they lead their churches to make everything about Jesus’ glory and 

mission to make disciples of all nations.

SECRETARY/TREASURER Jeff Marshall | 717.795.5921 | jeff@penndel.org 

We are celebrating the first graduating class of the PennDel 

School of Ministry! This is a great milestone in the history of 

PDSOM. Five students have completed all three levels of classes. 

Congratulations to Jason Jodon, David Kepple, 

Marianne Kuchta, Jared Newhart and Judy Tkacs. 

JASON JODON, ONE OF THE GRADUATES, STATES: 

“A little over three years ago, I found myself called to ministry; however, 

the option to leave my family to attend traditional Bible College was both 

logistically and financially unfeasible. 

PennDel School of Ministry became an answer to prayer. I enrolled in the 

inaugural class in September of 2016. Since that time, I have become 

licensed and completed the educational requirements and the advanced 

ministerial internship for the Ordination credential level. 

It has been a blessing to see the program expand from a single classroom 

at Monroeville Assembly of God to now four campuses across the PennDel 

Network. I am excited to see what continued blessings the Lord bestows 

upon this program. I have, and will continue to recommend, the PennDel 

School of Ministry to those seeking to fulfill the education requirement of the 

fellowship for credentialing, as well as, laity interested in increasing Biblical 

and doctrinal knowledge.” 

OUR SUPERINTENDENT, DON IMMEL, STATES: 

“The results of PDSOM's growth from its first location in Monroeville to now 

four locations across the network is due to Spirit-filled leadership, cooperation 

and the time invested by our lead pastors to pour into the students.” 

PennDel School of Ministry has become a vital part to the mission of the 

PennDel Ministry Network by developing ministry leaders. An opportunity for 

you to invest in this mission, is to sponsor a student via scholarship for one or 

more courses. For more information on scholarship investment contact Robert 

Lecocq, Dean.

GUEST CONTRIBUTOR Kurt Jenkins 

DISCOVERING Your Lane 

Kurt Jenkins is the lead pastor 

at Central Assembly of God 

in Houston, PA and author of 

Everyday Leadership. He is married 

to his best friend, Charisse, 

and has four world-changing 

children. Kurt is passionate about 

equipping and releasing people 

into their God-given destiny while 

empowering them live a naturally 

supernatural life. 

Road trips can be very exciting, but getting lost while on your way can be very frustrating. Even 

when you are headed in the correct direction, getting into the right lane at the right time can be a 

challenge. 

This example is similar to our potential in Christ. Once we are born-again, we are no longer lost but 

headed in the right direction. However, there is also a lane in which we are meant to travel. There 

are specific ‘ministry lanes’ that Jesus designed for His church in which each believer can function. 

It is our privilege to discover how our spiritual gifts, passions, personality and skills fit together in a 

certain lane to help build the body of Christ. 

Ephesians 4:11-13 says that “Christ gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors 

and teachers to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up 

until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, 

attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.” 

There are those who are called to lead in these five ‘ministry lanes’ with the anointing and authority 

needed to equip the body from a leadership position. At the same time, each believer can add 

strength to the local church by discovering in which one of these lanes they can also thrive. 

HERE ARE FIVE PRACTICAL WAYS TO DISCOVER YOUR MINISTRY LANE: 

Focus on function, not title – Focus on how you can add value to 

your local church, not what title you have. Jesus needs equippers, not 

superstars. 

Observe your current lane – If you regularly sense the Lord sharing ideas 

with you for others or for your church, you are in the prophetic lane. If you 

have a high value for a caring community, you are in the pastoral lane, and 

so on… 

Take an assessment – DestinyFinder.com is a useful online tool that 

offers a free assessment based on the Ephesians 4 model, along with more 

in-depth assessments from Ephesians 4, Romans 12 and 1 Corinthians 12. 

Keep moving forward – Often times the best way to discover your lane 

is to find a place to serve and see what leads to the most fruitfulness and 

fulfillment. This area should energize you, not deplete you. 

Learn more – A solid resource is Carolyn Tennant’s book, Catch the Wind 

of the Spirit. At PennDel’s recent THRIVE Conference, Carolyn presented a 

great Biblical view on how all five ministries should work in harmony to build 

the body. 

God still desires each one of these ‘lanes’ to be expressed through His body in today’s church. This 

will happen supernaturally as we seek God for His unique design as individuals, and also naturally 

as we implement practical ways to equip our churches with a balance of all five. It is possible, and 

biblical; it requires your participation. Enjoy the journey and begin discovering your lane today!

FRESH 

Snow or 

Icy 

When we become a leader, we imagine leadership 

to be like skiing through beautiful slopes of newly 

SLOPES 

fallen snow. Some of us have found the reality to be 

quite different. The leadership slopes have been more 

challenging than we would have ever imagined. 

One year, I shared with my family that I wanted to learn to ski. At Christmas, my family jumped on that idea 

and gave me a few nights in Vermont complete with ski passes. As we drove, we marveled at the beauty 

of the freshly fallen snow. After a good night’s rest in the cabin we ventured out with great anticipation to 

Killington Ski Resort. 

Upon arrival, I was ready to hit the “Learn to Ski” slope, but my girls had other plans. They decided to teach 

me and felt it would be best to take me up the gondola to the highest mountain. The logic was it is easier to 

learn to ski when you have some speed. 

Unfortunately, when we got off the gondola instead of freshly fallen snow we discovered ice. Soon my lack of 

experience on the slope created a frightening experience… for me and for those who were trying to navigate 

around me. Killington almost KILLED me! 

As we navigate leadership and life, sometimes we find ourselves on icy slopes. One of the concepts that Ken Sande 

identifies through The Young PeaceMaker is that conflict can present us with a slippery slope. Just like I found myself 

skiing off the trail, many of us tend to have the default of either escape mode (flight) or attack mode (fight). 

What is your default response to conflict? 

If you find yourself on an icy slope, let me encourage you that you are not alone. 

To assist you and your ministry, PennDel offers coaching, training and mediation.

PLANTING THE 5-Fold Seeds 

IN THE LIVES OF CHILDREN 

I remember when my parents 

moved out to the country. The 

following spring as I began third grade, 

my parents cultivated a large plot on their 

one-acre property into a garden; I remember 

thinking, “This is going to be one huge 

garden!” They planted everything...corn, 

tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, green 

beans, potatoes and more. There were 

evenings spent weeding, watering and 

cultivating. 

Throughout the summer the deer, ground 

hogs, squirrels and pheasants would eat the 

plants and most of the produce. When fall 

came, there was no harvest to be shown 

for all that effort. The following year my 

parents did not plant a single seed in that 

garden, and the huge plot of land became a 

wasteland of weeds. 

As church leaders we need to learn a 

lesson: we only get what we plant, water 

and cultivate. Many times we’re not planting 

the seed, but we’re expecting a harvest. 

This happens with adults, but it is especially 

true in the lives of children. 

We tend to think of the five-fold ministry of 

apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors 

and teachers (Ephesians 4:11-12) as offices 

and gifts for adults. All too often, children 

are not taught about these gifts. Children 

are just in the beginning stages of trying to 

figure out who they are and how God wants 

to use them. We need to spend more time 

introducing children to the five-fold gifts. 

Many children have the heart of a pastor, 

but not the calling into full time pastorate 

work. Even as a child they care for others, 

and their shepherding gift begins to bloom. 

Children need to know there is a place of 

service in the body for those who have 

pastoral gifts. 

We don’t see many children holding the 

office of the evangelist, but many kids are 

very willing to share their faith and even 

develop strategies to win other children to 

Jesus. They have the gift of evangelism. 

I remember a sixth grade girl who asked 

me to help her win her classmate to Jesus. 

She wanted help to convince her Jewish 

friend to believe in Jesus. She had the gift of 

evangelism. 

I’ve had children who wanted to help 

teach a Sunday school class or lesson in 

kids’ church. I’m amazed how children 

can take a concept and break it down so 

other children can understand. They have 

the gift of teaching. As church leaders, we 

need to plant these seeds and cultivate 

the growth in children’s lives. How effective 

their ministry gifts will be when they become 

adults! 

I learned as a child you only reap a great 

harvest if you plant the right seeds and then 

cultivate and protect the crops until maturity. 

Don’t be afraid to help children find the gifts 

within themselves. Imagine what they will 

become at harvest time.

Friends of BONGIORNO 

Our hearts are overflowing with thankfulness at the 

overwhelming response with our “Friends of BCC” 

initiative. Our conference center has a legacy of 

spiritual impact. Your partnership enables us to extend 

that impact with increasing excellence into the future. 

THANK YOU for your generosity! 

Don Immel, Network Superintendent 

We 

launched Friends of Bongiorno at the THRIVE Conference this past October. What a tremendous time for our leadership. 

We experienced powerful worship and tremendous teaching from Carolyn Tennant on the five-fold ministry gifts. We also 

spent some time vision casting for the Bongiorno Conference Center as well as receiving financial commitments from many 

of our churches and pastors for monthly support. Total monthly support exceeded $3400; what a blessing! Cash offerings to jumpstart 

recreation options totaled $3598. 

As many of you know, we have closed 

down the golf course and will be using that 

acreage for ministry purposes. We have a 

very ambitious list of ministry and recreation 

options we want to put in place. 

• A prayer path with benches & scripture 

placards that will inspire meditation & 

prayer 

• Two outdoor amphitheaters; one with a 

stage, power & lighting, another more 

rustic 

• Gathering spaces with campfire pits & 

benches/chairs 

• Frisbee golf and foot golf 

• Mountain bike trails and perhaps Quad/ 

ATV trails 

• Combat archery field course 

• Miniature golf course for children, youth & 

families 

• Human soccer knocker ball 

• In the future, a low/high ropes course & 

perhaps a zip line 

We also shared a vision for a new recreation 

area. Dream with us for a recreation facility. 

We are working with an architect and this 

building will replace the current outdoor 

basketball and tennis courts. 

This facility will include… 

• Double-sized gym. (2 basketball courts) 

with 10’ garage doors on both sides for 

an optional, open air feel 

• Snack bar & bistro area: indoor seating 

opening to an outdoor patio connected to 

our pool 

• Game room much larger than what we 

now have 

• Workout area very similar to what one 

finds in a hotel 

• Indoor climbing wall with auto belays 

• Recreation room for indoor adventure 

sports & team building 

• Office space and storage 

• Patio deck connecting the pool and 

recreation building offering three season 

outdoor seating 

• Pool renovations: new concrete lining to 

prevent leakage 

• Making the entire pool a five foot depth 

for greater usage 

• Zero entry at the shallow end 

• Bench seats with Jacuzzi jets 

• New plumbing, filters & pumps 

This will be a blessing not only to our 

PennDel children, youth and families, but 

BONGIORNO CONFERENCE CENTER 

George Krebs | 717.243.7381 | george@penndel.org 

also to other guest groups as well making 

Bongiorno more marketable.

to simply place the Bongiorno Conference 

Center on your missions budget. Whatever 

you pledge monthly to missionaries, make 

that same pledge to Bongiorno. After 

all, it is here where lifelong callings to 

Christian service, full-time ministry and even 

missionaries are solidified. 

We at Bongiorno will make a 

commitment to you… 

• To keep you informed multiple times each 

year as to the life-change happening on 

our campus

YOUTH MINISTRIES/DYD Lee Rogers | 717.795.9780 | lee@penndel.org 

THE NEED to be Needed 

There is a great danger that limits the impact of young youth pastors and leaders; it is both subtle 

and debilitating. It’s an intoxicating and addicting phenomenon that cuts short the Biblical purpose 

and scope of ministry for many who follow God’s call. Very few see it coming and—once it engulfs 

a person—it can be challenging to shake. It’s not moral failure or compromise, it’s not burnout or 

conflict. It’s something far more subtle and deceptive: the need to be needed. 

To read more about 

the dependency/ 

equipping models 

of ministry, check 

out Unfinished 

Business: 

Returning the 

Ministry to the 

People of God 

by Greg Ogden. 

(Zondervan, 2003) 

It feels good to be needed, and when you serve in youth ministry, there’s a real sense of fulfillment 

when teenagers are dependent upon you. Teenagers depend on us to give them the Word, provide 

worship, share the Gospel with their friends and meet their general pastoral needs. This is called a 

dependency model of ministry. When someone depends on us for all of this, it can feel good and 

even contribute to our self-worth. Here’s the problem: we are not called to develop teenagers into 

perpetually needy spiritual-children who are dependent on us but mature believers who know how 

to depend upon God. We are called to equip teenagers to do God’s work and build one another up 

until we all become mature in the Lord. 

Youth pastors and leaders are particularly susceptible to this trap because adolescence is a needy 

time. However, we must strive for better for both the students’ sake and for our own. As Greg 

Ogden wrote, “Underlying the dependency model of ministry is a distorted and unhealthy means 

of seeking value.” To the contrary of this dependency model, Ephesians 4:11-12 teaches us an 

equipping model for ministry. “Now these are the gifts Christ gave to the church: the apostles, the 

prophets, the evangelists, and the shepherds and teachers. Their responsibility is to equip God’s 

people to do his work and build up the church, the body of Christ.” Each of us, whether we have 

the gift of Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Shepherd or Teacher (APEST), are to do one thing: equip the 

people of God to do His work and build up the church. 

Are you an equipping youth pastor or leader? Or have you unknowingly fostered a culture of spiritual 

infancy through a dependent model of youth ministry? Are the APEST gifts in operation to equip 

God’s teenagers? 

Here are some simple assessment questions to help you determine whether you 

have a dependency model or an equipping model: 

• Do our students study the Scriptures and pray on their own? 

• Do they worship God with their everyday lives or mostly just in church 

services? 

• Do they know how to hear from the Holy Spirit and respond? 

• Do our students readily serve and love those around them, including 

their lost friends? 

• Do our students share the Gospel? Are they even prepared for that? 

• What changes do we need to make to move in an equipping direction? 

• In what ways should our APEST gifts contribute to an equipping 

ministry? 


ROYAL RANGERS Steve Steffel | 717.795.5921 | www.pdrangers.org 

ROYAL RANGERS 

Teach and Keep Boys for Christ 

When Royal Rangers started in 1962, the vision was 

to Reach, Teach and Keep Boys for Christ. The 

vision statement has been updated to become more 

descriptive. We desire to Evangelize, Equip and Empower the next 

generation of Christlike men and lifelong servant leaders. We are a 

mentoring ministry developing the whole boy for Jesus. 

Royal Rangers provides opportunities for boys and young men to 

see leaders modeling behaviors that reflect the character, kindness 

and zest for life that Jesus showed. Leaders live out the command 

to “Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ. - 1 

Corinthians” 11:1 (NIV) Royal Rangers learn to be servant leaders 

as they take responsibility for organizing and conducting meetings 

and events under the guidance of men. They learn to participate in 

whole church ministry through missions or evangelistic outreaches 

to the community. They learn to be team players and partners by 

supporting children’s church, their youth group or worship team. 

Some of these lessons are taught in meeting rooms and some are 

developed outside the walls of the church. The PennDel Network 

is blessed to have a camp where Royal Ranger boys and young 

men can learn life lessons, skills, responsibility, develop lifelong 

friendships and respond to altar calls at council fires for salvation, in 

filling of the Holy Spirit and calls to ministry. 

Part of our vision is to 

develop Camp Berry in 

order to provide more 

opportunities for training 

camps, fun activities and, 

most importantly, a place to 

hear God’s Word preached. 

Part of that vision is coming 

to fruition as construction on a shower house has started. Young 

men and boys will gain ownership and a sense of satisfaction by 

joining in completing this project before the 2020 District Powwow. 


WORSHIP LEAD Josh Shaffer | 814.414.1304 | pshaff@hamburgbridge.com 

Five resources I’m currently enjoying! 

The Transforming Work of the 

PROPHETIC VOICE 

I 

am still reflecting on the powerful teachings and worship moments from our THRIVE 

conference this past October with Dr. Tennant. There was such a sweet presence 

and sensitivity to what the Spirit was doing that is hard to put into words…you just 

had to be there! I was especially encouraged by her session on the prophetic and the 

great need for this underused stream of the five-fold ministry in our churches. 

In 1 Samuel 10:5-7, Samuel says to Saul, who he’s just anointed as King, “…As you 

approach the town, you will meet a procession of prophets coming down 

from the high place with lyres, timbrels, pipes and harps being played 

before them, and they will be prophesying. The Spirit of the Lord will 

come powerfully upon you, and you will prophesy with them; and you 

will be changed into a different person. Once these signs are fulfilled, do 

whatever your hand finds to do, for God is with you”. The prophetic voice 

and music have such a strong correlation throughout scripture. At THRIVE, Dr. Tennant 

mentioned that the prophetic is one of the most underused giftings in the church 

today. There are a number of reasons for this…counterfeits, lack of teaching, fear of 

the unknown, etc. She says in her book, Keys to the Apostolic and Prophetic, “It takes 

faith to allow God’s songs to become our songs. Worship leaders must be willing to 

step out and release new songs, forgetting their pride and the uncertainty of where 

the unknown song will go. As they forge ahead with fresh words and melody from the 

Lord, God will work powerfully and touch lives.” There is a deeper level of intimacy that 

can be had in the prophetic (worship) that brings about powerful change for specific, 

divine moments. This is what we see evidenced in the life of Saul in 1 Samuel 10. The 

prophetic words spoken over Saul literally transformed him into a “different person.” 

The prophetic changes, convicts, heals, delivers, transforms, etc.! How we need this in 

our churches today! 

So how can we begin to incorporate prophetic worship into our churches and see 

the powerful transformation it brings? Begin to practice the prophetic in your personal 

worship times. Ask the Lord to open your eyes, ears and heart to understand what the 

Lord is speaking for specific moments. This will develop a sensitivity and confidence to 

step out in faith and obedience when the Lord begins to move and speak in these ways. 

Let’s begin to reclaim and unleash the authentic, 

prophetic voice across our fellowship!

PENNDEL WOMEN Liz DeFrain | 484.686.4554 | liz@penndelwomen.com | penndelwomen.com 

WE ARE Home 

The Women’s Department is seeing fantastic opportunities happen for 

women throughout our Network. In other Christian circles, there has been 

a backlash against women in ministry, causing many women to use the 

hashtag #NOTGOINGHOME, on social media platforms. However, I believe 

the correct statement for those of us in the Assemblies of God is this: WE 

ARE HOME. 

Never has there been a better time for God to both highlight and use 

women in the five-fold ministry gifts. The scripture in both Joel 2:28 and 

then repeated in Acts 2:17 says, “In the last days... I will pour out my Spirit 

upon all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy. Your young men 

will see visions, and your old men will dream dreams. In those days, I will 

pour out my Spirit even on my servants—men and women alike—and they 

will prophesy.” How does this outpouring express itself in everyday life? 

I believe one of the most significant responsibilities and privileges of the 

Women’s Department is to seek and recognize women who are called and 

then help equip and mentor them. On any given Sunday, if women stopped 

serving in their calling, the church at large would suffer tremendously. 

Close your eyes and think about your church this coming Sunday, and 

then remove all the women who serve. Whether they are leading, teaching, 

preaching, evangelizing or prophetically speaking, their unique style and 

gifts bring so much to the table! 

Jesus brought honor to women, elevating their status during a time when 

a woman was simply property. Think for a moment, Jesus could have 

shared the “living water” with anyone, but He chose the woman at the 

well. “The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, 

and saith to the men, ʻCome, see a man, which told me all things that 

ever I did: is not this the Christ?ʼ” That was a bold move! In a time where 

culture said women were to be silent, Jesus freed her to speak about the 

power of God. Her speaking caused many of the Samaritans to come to 

follow Jesus. Some say she was the first woman evangelist. Whether she 

was the first or not, I wouldn’t know, but I am grateful for women who are 

evangelists and still sharing the living water today. 

The apostle Paul thought a woman was capable enough to lead. He 

mentions Priscilla (Pricia) in Romans 16, who led a house church with her 

husband, Aquila, and Phoebe, who was thought to be a deaconess and 

of course, Junia, who, along with her husband Andronicus, where listed as 

apostles. “Greet Andronicus and Junia, my fellow Jews who have been in 

prison with me. They are outstanding among the apostles, and they were in 

Christ before I was.” Romans 16:7 NIV 

I believe God is up to something truly amazing these days, 

and I am thankful to be a woman in the PennDel Ministry 

Network! I AM HOME!

Forty-two years ago, I met Paul Dennis 

Poole by the tabernacle at Living 

Waters Camp in Cherry Tree, PA. He 

remembered me as being feisty. I 

remember him as being incredibly cute and full 

of opinions. Two years later, we were married! 

Since we were each the youngest child 

in our respective families, we were both 

accustomed to being the entertainer, the 

one being spoiled, the one that everyone 

thought was “cute.” That could be a terrible 

mix – two babies each seeking the same 

thing. But it turned out to be an incredible 

life. We spoiled each other entertained each 

other, and made the other laugh! 

Paul was an encourager. When I complained 

about my failures, he showed me what I 

did accomplish. He believed in me…and 

so many others. He often spent time with 

young ministers trying to help them see the 

potential that God saw in them. He was so 

good at that! 

Paul loved to brag on his family. There was 

never a soccer player like Nick. No one 

could run like Natasha. The most brilliant 

grandson ever is Zack. The feistiest, cutest 

granddaughter is Evelyn. And Lukas already 

has shown that he is far ahead of all other 

children ever born! 

GOD IS GOOD 

Paul taught me to look for the good in 

others; look for the good in each situation. 

Learn to find (search for, dig for) the good. It 

is there if you look. Even in the most difficult 

times, there is good. 

But more importantly, look for God in every 

situation. He is there. And He is always, 

always good. 

“This poor man called, and the Lord 

heard him; he saved him out of all 

his troubles… Taste and see that the 

Lord is good.” Psalm 34:6, 8 

When I received that call on May 22 that 

Paul had taken a “tumble,” I had no idea 

of the challenges that would follow. As his 

head was being cradled by a co-worker, 

he looked up and said, “You know, Dave, 

God is good! God is still good!” Yes, these 

six months had been very challenging. The 

brace, the sleepless nights, the difficulties 

associated with a life-threatening injury. And 

through it all – God has been good! 

On November 2 when we first heard the 

words, “you have lymphoma”, my breath 

was taken away. We were shaken to our 

core with questions, decisions and out-ofcontrol 

outcomes. I felt as though I was on a 

crazy roller coaster ride… with no tracks but 

lots of ice. 

GIRLS MINISTRIES Sharon Poole | sharonp@pdgirlsministries.com | penndel.org/girls 

The week before Thanksgiving, the doctors 

explained to us the seemingly hopeless 

situation; they were unable to do anything 

more to prolong Paul’s life. I floundered for 

something. Anything that would bring me 

comfort; anything that would bring me hope 

or anything that would make sense of this. 

After all tubes and life support had been 

removed from Paul, I walked into his cubicle 

to the most amazing sight. For the first time 

in three weeks, my Paul was looking at me 

with a smile, filled with joy and peace. He 

knew he was going home. He had complete 

peace. There was no fear. There was the 

blessed hope that he would soon be where 

he had lived his life to be. 

Over the next day and a half, there was no 

wavering in his faith. He continued to look 

at me with loving eyes. He continued to give 

me that “I love you wink.” Paul was alert, 

comfortable and at peace. And he knew, 

more than any of us that God is good. No 

matter what. God is good. 

Today, as I write this, like Paul, I know that 

God is not afraid of my questions. He sees 

my brokenness and knows my weariness. 

And so, I hold on to what Paul has taught 

me. “God is good!”
