Dear friends and colleagues,
The Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada (PAOC) is pleased to announce the election of Dr. Jeremy Feller as the new Executive Director for Mission Global for the PAOC. Holding this position also grants him Officer status within the Fellowship. Murray Cornelius will end his term of office on August 31, 2026, and Jeremy will begin on September 1, 2026.
Jeremy and his wife, Teresa, along with their three children have served in Ethiopia since 2003. His ministry is defined by a deep commitment to reaching those with little or no access to the gospel through church planting, discipleship, and theological education. He’s played a key role in developing ministries that reach Islamic communities in Ethiopia, the Horn of Africa, North Africa, and the Middle East. In partnership with the Ethiopian church, he has been instrumental in mobilizing thousands of indigenous leaders each year to carry the gospel throughout the region. This has contributed to a dynamic Church Planting Movement that has reached millions with the message of Jesus.
He currently serves as the Mission Global Regional Director for Africa and the Middle East, collaborates with the Pentecostal Assemblies of Africa, and along with Teresa, serves on the pastoral team at Addis Christian Life Assembly. For the past 10 years he has served on the PAOC’s General Executive.
He brings a unique blend of theological training (DTh, MTh, B.Th.) and professional expertise (MBA) to his role. He is deeply committed to developing leaders, investing in discipleship, and training the next generation of missionaries and Christian workers.
Over decades of working together, we have been impressed by Jeremy’s vision “to be conformed to Christ and to walk in unity with those God has called, making disciples who reach the unreached, plant churches, equip the Church, and care for the vulnerable.”
Murray and Cindy express their gratefulness for your faithful friendship, love and support over these past 20 years. On numerous occasions they have expressed what a privilege it has been to serve the PAOC, our global workers, and our international partners as Executive Director for Mission Global. They look forward to becoming global workers once again, serving the Lord where He calls.
Let us join our minds and hearts together in prayer for Jeremy, Teresa, and their children as they begin this new season of ministry.
We leave you with Jeremy’s favourite scripture, Proverbs 3:5-6.
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.”
