A Warm National Convention Welcome from Bishop Couch!

Praise the Lord, beloved Brothers and Sisters of AIM!

I am overjoyed to welcome you to the 41st National Convention of Apostolic Independent Missions, taking place March 30–April 3, 2026We give all glory and honor to God for more than four decades of His faithfulness, grace, and mighty power working through AIM and I am pleased to announce our theme for this year’s convention is “Look What the LORD Has Done,” based upon Psalm 118:23:

This is the LORD’s doing; it is marvellous in our eyes. – Psalm 118:23

Our convention theme is dedicated to remembering and honoring all that God has done in and through AIM and with hearts full of praise, we reflect back on His goodness.

Fifteen years ago, at the request of its founder and one of my dearest friends, Elder Donald Lance, I accepted the role as General Director of Apostolic Independent Missions. It has been one of the greatest honors of my life and Apostolic ministry to help shepherd its spiritual and material growth. As we look back over these years, we can truly say, Look what the LORD has done!

The Scriptures call us to remember the works of the Lord.

Psalm 77:11–12 says, I will remember the works of the LORD: surely I will remember thy wonders of old. I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings.

Psalm 126:3 declares, The LORD hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad.

For 41 years, God has opened doors no man could open. He has sent laborers into His harvest, saved souls, filled believers with His Spirit, and kept His church moving forward. Truly, this is the LORD’s doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes.

This year, as we warmly welcome our entire AIM family, we are excited to announce that we will also host the greatest number of American visitors that we have ever had at one time, possibly reaching 16. Also joining us will be 10 brethren from Laos brought over by Bro. Perez to witness firsthand our services and the wonderful move of God.

As convention week draws near, I am also happy to announce that we have made major preparations to ensure that our national headquarters remains in good repair and worthy of the work of the Lord. Several needed updates have been completed, including a remodeled missionary house kitchen and the addition of expanded new shower facilities. These improvements are part of our desire to honor the Lord in all things and to welcome each of you into a clean, well‑kept, and prayerfully prepared environment.

But our preparations must include His Spirit as well, so we urge all AIM leadership and saints everywhere to continue in prayer and fasting for this critical meeting.

Come and be part of what God is doing. We will remember and celebrate the mighty works that God has done while looking forward with great hope to a new season of grace and power, in Jesus name!
