THE UNITED COLLEGE OF BISHOPS
August 2026 Newsletter
New Beginnings
"Behold, I will do a new thing...," Isaiah 43:18-19 (KJV)
______________________________________
Grace and peace be multiplied unto each of you in the mighty name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
As we welcome the month of August, we embrace a season of NEW BEGINNINGS. Throughout Scripture, God continually demonstrates His ability to create fresh opportunities from difficult circumstances. Where people see endings, God often sees beginnings. Where others see impossibilities, God sees divine potential.
The Lord declared through Isaiah,
"Remeber ye not the former thinhs, neither consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing...," Isaiah 43:18-19 (KJV).
God is reminding His Church that we cannot experience tomorrow's blessings while remaining imprisoned by yesterday's disappoinments. Every season offers another opportunity to grow, lead, serve, and impact lives for His Kingdom.
Let August become a month of renewed vision.
We invite you to attend our upcoming Zoom meeting on Saturday, August 15 @ 8AM (CST). Bishop Alan Haskins will be giving words of encouragement. This will be an opportunity to corporate prayer, discipleship, and servant leadership. Let us continue to encourage one another, and build bridges of unity. As iron sharpens iron, so does one leader strengthen another.
In our last Zoom meeting, Presiding Bishop Anthony Williams encouraged the fellowship to trust God in His supply of every need of the ministry. God knows exactly what we have need of before we petition Him.
Subject: “God Knows What You Need"
Text: Philippians 4:19 (KJV)
Points Taken:
(1) God doesn't have to discover our needs; He already knows of them.
(2) God's supply is greater than our needs.
(3) Difficult seasons are God's opportunity to exercise His faithfulness.
(4) The same God that supplies resources also provides endurance.
Bishop Anthony Williams is currently teaching a series on "Who is the False Prophet and the Unholy Trinity", during Living Vision Ministries' Bible study on Thursday at 7:30 PM (CST). If you would like to be in attendance, logon to LVM's Bible study via Zoom, Facbook, or Youtube to following the series of teachings. The Zoom meeting can be accessed using the same link that we use for our online fellowship.
May the Lord continue to bless every bishop, pastor, church, and family represented throughout The College of Bishops. Blessings.
In His Service,
Bishop Terry Holmes
Secretary, The United College of Bishops

NEW BOOK RELEASED
Congratulations on your newly, released book, Bishop Blaze!
What do you do when God's instructions do not align with people's expectations? Not Their Vision: Walking In What God Told You is a powerful testimony of faith, obedience, loneliness, perseverance, and God's unwavering faithfulness. Through personal experiences of ministry challenges, relational loss, caregiving, grief, and spiritual growth, Bishop Marlin L. Blaze shares lessons learned while remaining faithful to the vision God placed on his life. This book will encourage every believer, leader, caregiver, husband, wife, and disciple to trust God's voice above every other voice and remain committed to the assignment He has given them.
This book is now available on Amazon.
