ERNEST TURNER<br />
Continental Director for Africa<br />
Report for World Missions <strong>Council</strong><br />
18 - 19 <strong>June</strong> <strong>2013</strong><br />
I am happy to report that, as we come to the conclusion of this quadrennium and look back at<br />
what the Lord has done, we can truly say that He has blessed us. He has certainly met all our<br />
needs and has provided vision, wisdom, and favour these last four years. There are always a few<br />
places where there are minor challenges, but by and large the good has out-weighed the bad.<br />
Once again I offer my sincere thanks and appreciation to the World Missions <strong>Council</strong>, Dr.<br />
Harold Dalton and Bishop Talmage Gardner for their encouragement, inspiration and leadership<br />
along the way. You have been a blessing to Cheryl and me – to the work and the ministry in<br />
Africa. This has been a great quadrennium for us in Africa!<br />

Before I get into my report I would like to express my sincere thanks and appreciation to each of<br />
you for attending the Centennial Celebrations in South Africa in March. It was a real joy to have<br />
you there with us and you will never know the impact that your presence has had on the church<br />
in S.A. The fact is that we not only had the entire WMM <strong>Council</strong> there, but at the very same<br />
time, we also had the four USA Executive members of the mother Church there. This spoke<br />
volumes to the people – it communicated a very strong message to the Church in Africa.<br />
