Philip Powell is a Welshman. He has been a preacher of the Gospel since age 14. In 1959, he pastored a church in Brisbane, Australia when he was twenty years of age. He and Kathleen met in Manchester, UK where they married in 1966. They have three sons and a daughter and six grandchildren. With Kathleen Philip pastored a church in Britain for 16 years, 2 churches in Australia for a total of ten years and pioneered and pastored a church in New Zealand for 12 months. In addition he has lectured in Bible Colleges and travelled extensively in itinerant ministry and short-term missionary work in a number of countries in both hemispheres.

From 1989 to 1992 he served as National General Secretary of Assemblies of God in Australia and was editor of the monthly Australian Evangel for most of that time.

In 1994, Philip and Kathleen launched Christian Witness Ministries (CWM) when they began to publish the bimonthly journal “Contending EANESTLY for the FAITH” (CETF) out of Hamilton, New Zealand. This is a faith venture, which has prospered under the hand of the Lord to the point that there are now clearing offices in Australia and Britain as well as in New Zealand.

Philip carries out a resident pastoral ministry and an itinerant faith ministry.

God bless you.
