Along with her husband, Bishop Raymond Hall, Pastor Arlene O. Hall founded the Deliverance Temple Worship Center in 1999. Built on the pillars of consistent prayer and Spirit-filled worship, Pastor Hall has innovated new ministry strategies that keep the church on the cutting edge. Her church leaders are well-versed in logic models and measurement tools for ministry. “Outcomes,” she says, “are simply the fruit of the ministry.

Cleveland, TN–The Pentecostal Theological Seminary dedicated the Niko Njotorahardjo Chair for the Restoration of the Tabernacle of David (Prayer, Praise and Worship) on Thursday, April 28, in a chapel service followed by a celebration dinner. Dr. Njotorahardjo is a pastor of Gereja Bethel Indonesia, an international Pentecostal church of over 250,000 members. His church donated $1,000,000 for the endowment to establish the chair. The chair focuses on Prayer, Praise and Worship and the title reference to the restoration of the tabernacle of David comes from Acts 14:16-18 (King James Version):

They were times to renew the covenant relationship with the Lord and return to Him in faithful love and obedience. The prescription for sacred assemblies is found in Leviticus 23 and were the appointed festivals.
