Apostolic Faith Intelligence Brief — October 23, 2026

Apostle Jimmy Hicks, Jr. is Chief Apostle and Presiding Bishop. No material public update located this week. The previously announced Daughters of Destiny Women’s Conference is scheduled October 22–24 at ACOJ Piedmont, 4432 Piedmont Street, Orlando, FL 32811. Organizer materials identify Judges 4:8–9 and $160 registration. This is a continuing event reminder; attendance and outcomes are not yet verified.

The gathering provides a national setting for women’s teaching, encouragement, and fellowship. Limited public reporting does not imply inactivity.

Contact info@theacojinc.com about remaining admission and session access. Watch for official teaching summaries and follow-up initiatives; October 1 giveaway and October 12 scholarship deadlines have passed.

PAW’s October 20 notice announces a full-time senior-pastor search, with applications due December 15, 2026 and an anticipated early-2027 start. The notice welcomes qualified licensed or ordained ministers in good standing with PAW or another Apostolic organization.

This is a new local-church leadership opportunity with relevance across Apostolic fellowships.

Read the complete qualifications and application package in the official notice. Confirm instructions directly before submitting personal documents.

The church describes its ministry to the Tempe campus area and greater Phoenix, listing Sunday worship at 10 a.m. and Fall 2026 Wednesday Bible study at Danforth Chapel. Its website identifies COOLJC affiliation and explicitly states that it is not affiliated with Arizona State University. No new launch date was established.

A local point of contact for students and families, and a practical example of campus-area discipleship.

Confirm current times and access with the church before visiting; the Wednesday start time is not stated.

Grace’s official resources page describes Mind the G.A.P.P. services focused on employment, financial stability, housing, and community connections. It also describes a wellness center. These are continuing ministry resources, not newly announced programs this week.

Churches can learn from a congregation connecting spiritual care with practical community needs.

Ask about current eligibility, intake, availability, and any cost. No new outcome totals or guaranteed services were verified.

Aphesis describes its GROW vision as house-to-house small groups across Columbia and surrounding communities, with a longer-term vision for future campuses and churches. The page is undated; no new planting milestone was established.

Relational Bible study offers a ministry model that does not depend on congregation size or owning a large building.

Confirm current groups and participation with the church. Its separate historical building campaign is not evidence that construction has started or a fundraising goal has been reached.

The existing Pastoral Jubilee program lists an October 1–November 1, 2026 application window and grants up to $2,500 for eligible PCAFI U.S./domestic pastors experiencing educational, consumer, or medical-debt hardship. Required materials include a financial snapshot and hardship narrative, with commitment to financial-literacy participation.

Eligible pastors have a limited remaining application window. Assistance is not guaranteed.

Review eligibility and complete requirements at the source; questions may be sent to admin@pcafime.org.

No newly verified date or venue for The Gathering of the Saints was located. The official Congress page still lists the October 9, 2026 Indianapolis gathering. Earlier statements about success and expansion remain attributed organizer reports; independent attendance or membership totals were not established.

Pastors can welcome fellowship while waiting for practical details before committing travel or church resources.

Watch for a dated announcement, location, registration, and documented joint ministry commitments. ICAF membership and Congress participation remain distinct.

The 2027 Leadership Summit page heading says January 27–29 while the description says June 27–29. This remains an unresolved discrepancy, not a confirmed schedule change.

Churches need consistent dates before arranging travel.

Confirm directly with generalchairman@awcf.org or 812-464-1175 before nonrefundable booking.
