Executive Director Assemblies of God World Missions
Missionary Assemblies of God World Missions
President Continental Theological Seminary
John Easter
John Easter serves as executive director for Assemblies of God World Missions (AGWM). In this position, Easter oversees the 2,600 plus global workers serving in over 190 countries and provinces around the world. Easter wants to grow AGWM in frontier missions. He continues to believe that AGWM’s partnership with local churches is a priority in developing new missionaries. Easter also has a heart for the well-being of the missionary family. John and his wife, Cheryl, were appointed as career missionaries to Malawi in 2000. They were missionary educators for 22 years. Their passion was to train men and women for church planting efforts, to facilitate missions mobilization, and to equip missionary educators to multiply healthy church leaders. In 2011, Easter was appointed as a strategic leader with AGWM Africa and executive director of Africa’s Hope—a resource organization supporting educational initiatives in 46 African nations. Since 2021, Easter has served on AGWM’s Executive Committee as director of Partnership Development. In this position, Easter helped church leaders and ministry networks align God’s people with the mission of establishing the Church among all peoples everywhere. Prior to God calling Easter and his family to Africa, he pastored in the United States for 10 years. He earned a Ph.D. from Assemblies of God Theological Seminary in Springfield, Missouri. The Easters have three sons: Kevin, John-John, and Mitchell, a daughter-in-law (Alyssa), and four grandchildren.
Ann Marie
Ann and Stan along with their two children, Elle, and Stanley, started serving with the Assemblies of God World Missions in 2001. Stan gave his life to the field and is buried along the Euphrates River in Turkey. By invitation of the village elders, along the Dark Canyon of the Euphrates, Ann has purchased homes in the village where Stan is buried. With the Lord’s help, she is currently working to establish a house of prayer on the Euphrates. Ann continues both the work their family began in Turkey, and actively advocates for missions across Central Eurasia. By the grace of God, she is seeing people called to work in Turkey and many Turks coming to Christ!
Dr. Joseph Dimitrov
Dr. Joseph Dimitrov was born in Bulgaria and raised in a family of an Assemblies of God pastor and leader. In the 1920’s his grandparents were among the pioneers of the movement, working along with the first US AOG Pentecostal missionaries in Eastern Europe. Having felt the call of God upon his life for Christian ministry, Dr. Dimitrov began preaching the gospel in his early twenties. Since, due to political circumstances, formal theological education in his country was not available at that time, he followed secular higher education and completed his Bachelor and Master of Science degrees followed by additional postgraduate studies in Intellectual Property Law. All along his university studies, he ministered in the local Assemblies of God churches, first in his own home-city and then in Sofia, the state capital. In 1989 he and his family moved to Brussels, Belgium where he obtained his BA and MTh from Continental Theological Seminary. Later he earned his Ph.D. degree in New Testament and Historical Theology at the Evangelical Theological University in Leuven, Belgium. In 1994 Dr. Dimitrov joined the faculty at Continental Theological Seminary and a few years later served the school for nine years as Academic Dean and Vice-President of Education. Under his guidance, the seminary’s MTh degree in Evangelical and Pentecostal Studies obtained academic validation and university-level accreditation by the Dutch/Belgian accrediting agency and the Belgian Ministry of Education. In 2008, Dr. Dimitrov was elected President of the seminary. His ministry includes speaking in local churches and at various international events in Europe and occasionally in the USA. Since 2010 he also serves as Chairman of the Theological Commission of the World Assemblies of God Fellowship. Dr. Dimitrov is married to Iveta and they have three children.
After 50 years of praying, partnering, pastoring, and parenting together, Don & Jodi offer compassion and hope for a thriving marriage and ministry despite challenging church and cultural circumstances.
To have a compelling mission strategy, a church must clearly define its mission calling. This forum will explore how the power of Pentecostal missiology applied in the local church not only generously supports missionaries, but also equips and empowers our sons and daughters to identify and follow the call to bring the hope of Jesus to communities everywhere.
Alex has led over 10,000 people on mission trips and in this workshop, he will walk through how to set up a successful ministry schedule, budget, and logistics for a trip that will grow and develop your whole team. Other topics include finding and working with a host missionary, the AGWM trip approval process, and the need for the required trip insurance.
We know this generation values diversity, is comprised of digital natives, and desires to bring about positive change in the world. In this breakout, we share top tips from ministry leaders recognizing these strengths and mobilizing students on mission.
The legal landscape for churches can be challenging to stay current with. It takes time to read and research. We will cover some current topics that should be on your radar, including exempt employee thresholds, Washington State Clean Buildings Performance Standards, the importance of job descriptions, Artificial Intelligence, and other topics.
