POMS 2010 Convention and Business Meeting

POMS 2010 Convention and Business Meeting
Country Cupboard Inn, Lewisburgh, PA
May 28th – 30th

POMS 2010 Convention and Business Meeting was truly a rewarding experience. Folks from the United States, Canada, and Guyana gathered at the Country Cupboard Inn in Lewisburgh, Pennsylvania on Guyana’s 44th Independence anniversary to pray, as we customarily do, for the nation of Guyana.

We were blessed to be reunited, after quite a number of years, with Bro. Freddie Gibbs, along with his wife, and other visitors from Canada. We were also joined by Rev. Verne Martin – Director of Christian Education in the Guyana District - who extended her visit to the United States in order to fellowship with us and share news about Guyana. (Read More)

Youth Programs

POMS recognizes that the youths play an important role in the organization and therefore endeavors to develop programs of interest and relevance to them. Pastor Grantley Trotman, the current Youth Representative on POMS Executive Board, recently travelled to Guyana and met with several graduates of the scholarship program to plan and organize these efforts. The result was the creation of Poms Alumni and Beneficiaries Association (PABA) which will seek to fulfill this purpose. This year plans will be implemented to strengthen this relationship.
