Dear Saints,
“Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His Saints.”
Psalm 116:15
This notice of Episcopal Transition is as per the directive of our Presiding Bishop & Chief Apostle, Bishop J. Drew Sheard.
God, who is omnipotent and omniscient, has summoned His Server, Bishop Robson Paiva, to eternal rest. Bishop Paiva served as an Auxiliary Bishop in Brazil Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction, under the leadership of Jurisdictional Prelate, Bishop Terence P. Rhone. He was the beloved and celebrated Pastor of The Church Of God In Christ in Saracuruna.
During the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic resulting in local and state restrictions on public gatherings to achieve social distancing, the family will hold a private memorial service for this servant.
During this time of uncertainty, we request the continued prayers as well as acts of emotional and spiritual support for the family. It is with great honor that the National Adjutancy will assist the Paiva family during this most difficult time.
“Blessed be the God, even the father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort.”
2 Corinthians 1:3
Sanctifying the Leader, I Am,
Bishop Dickerson L. S. Wells
Adjutant General
Church Of God In Christ, Inc.
