Williams Receives Global Synergize Award
During the North American Roundtable On Biblical Preaching in Melbourne, Florida last month, Mark Williams, general overseer of the Church of God, received the Global Synergize Award for 2015 from the Billion Soul Network.
Each year, the Billion Soul Network, comprising more than 2,000 Christian organizations and 475,000 churches from every nation, recognizes two synergistic leaders who have demonstrated a synergistic leadership across denominational lines toward the fulfillment of the Great Commission.
“Dr. Williams continues to demonstrate a visionary life and synergistic mindset to move past egos and logos for the finishing the Great Commission in the 21st Century,” stated Dr. James O. Davis, founder of the Billion Soul Network. “His heart brings a biblical realism that fellow leaders, from different Evangelical and Pentecostal streams, can add compounding value to one another so the entire world can experience the glorious Gospel.” Presently the Church of God consists of more than 30,000 ministers, and 7 million members in 176 nations.
