The PCCNA executive committee voted unanimously to recommend to the Board of Administration (BOA) that Dr. David Wells serve as the next president of the organization.
Dr. Wells currently serves as General Superintendent of the PAOC (Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada); he would continue in that role. The Board of Administration will vote on the recommendation in Los Angeles, February 28, 2020, at the annual business meeting. If approved, Wells will take office May 1, 2020.
A change in infrastructure will also allow for the hiring of an Executive Director to serve the new president and the PCCNA. Watch for the January 2020 Portents when the new executive director will be announced. Click here to read Dr. Well's resume.
