Greetings in the matchless name of Jesus Christ,

 

It is with a heart full of gratitude and expectation that I welcome you to Legacy Weekend 2025. This sacred gathering is more than a time of remembrance; it is a celebration of faith, a renewal of purpose, and a bold step into the future God has prepared for us. As we honor the profound legacy of our beloved Bishop McKinley Green, we stand united, committed to carrying forward the vision he so faithfully embodied.

 

The Word of God reminds us in Isaiah 43:19, "See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland." This scripture resonates deeply as we reflect on the foundation that has been laid and embrace the new opportunities and paths God is creating for the Churches of Deliverance. Bishop Green’s legacy of praise, prayer, and leadership continues to flow through us, inspiring each of us to step boldly into our divine calling.

 

This weekend, as we engage in dynamic worship, reflect on his incredible impact, and hear transformative teachings, let us be reminded that we are the next chapter of this powerful story. We are the evidence of God’s faithfulness, and through our praise, our commitment, and our unity, we will continue to advance His Kingdom.

 

I encourage you to open your hearts to this moment. Allow God to stir the gifts within you, renew your passion for His work, and give you fresh vision for the road ahead. Together, let us lift up the banner of victory through praise, declaring that the best is yet to come!

 

May this weekend inspire you, empower you, and remind you that “The Victory is in the Praise!” I look forward to worshiping with you, celebrating our shared legacy, and walking into the future with unwavering faith.

 

With Kingdom love and purpose,

 

Bishop-Designate Tonya S. Holloway

General Overseer, Churches of Deliverance
