After a lengthy process this is coming out from Pickwick Publications in the next few days. Super exciting!

Noel Perkin, a banker turned missionary, led Assemblies of God World Missions (AGWM) for more than thirty years (1927–1959). His life exemplifies the missionary zeal historians have noted within the early Pentecostal movement. Perkin’s experience of the Holy Spirit and his experiences as a missionary in Argentina led him to create systems intended to empower others to fulfill Christ’s commission to make disciples of all nations.

Perkin’s empowering leadership played a significant part in AGWM’s remarkable growth into a leading Pentecostal mission sending agency which currently sends over 2,000 missionaries to more than 140 countries. As one of the principal architects of AGWM’s missiology and operation, Perkin transformed a two-person office relying on envelope boxes for its accounting system into a well-structured, strategic mission agency and laid a foundation for AGWM’s continued growth. Empowering Spirit, Empowering Structures uses the foundation of a biographical study to examine the concept of empowerment through Perkin’s life and the impact that Perkin and his missiology had and continues to have upon AGWM.

So after 2 years in storage for most of our stuff, there’s a lot of laundry to do. Kristen has been working through washing the bedding. We had one pillow that went through the wash just fine. Drying turned out to be another matter. It would not dry. So we put it in the dryer by itself at light, set the drying cycle, and went to bed. This morning when Kristen checked the laundry she quickly came back upstairs and said, “The pillow exploded!!” So mark down one more first for us exploded pillow…. ✅😂😂
