A Word from Our Apostle
Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow
We thank God for what this year's Convocation holds, and we look forward to the powerful fellowship of men and women of God coming together with a shared purpose. It is our prayer that you embrace all this Convocation has to offer as we break bread and share the Word of God.
Theme
The Season of RE
Each night, a powerful lineup of gospel preachers will bring insight and revelation from the Word of God. We ask that every pastor, church, and attendee register and wear your badges proudly. Let the world know you are part of a fellowship committed to making a difference in this generation.
Local pastors, we are calling for a maximum thrust. Please inform your congregations that MCI will be our central meeting place this week. We ask that you pause your regular weekly services and bring your church families to join us in unity.
To our out-of-town pastors, we pray for safe travels as you journey to celebrate Convocation 2026. For those unable to attend in person, services will be streamed online, and you'll still be able to watch, give, and engage remotely.
New this year, we've brought back the School of Manna with both day and night classes. We have also added the Hour of Power, a dynamic gospel preaching session featuring local and fellowship pastors. Our School of Manna teaching sessions are for the entire congregation, along with a special track exclusively for pastors and their spouses. It's going to be an explosive time in the Word.
To register or give a seed offering, visit the New Vision website or use the Givelify app. Download it via Google Play or the App Store, search New Vision Fellowship, enter your info, and submit your registration or offering.

A Letter from the Coordinator
To Our Apostle, Board of Bishops, Bishops & Pastors
New Vision Worldwide Fellowship of Churches — Midwest Region
As stated in my initial letter, our Apostle has asked that this year we would come together every 5th Sunday to fellowship together. There are four 5th Sundays this year: March 29th, May 30th, August 30th, and November 29th.
I look forward to the fellowship services this year and I am excited to see everyone. We are asking for full church participation from Senior Pastors and members.
We are also asking each Bishop and Pastor for a $300 seed to help cover the cost of honorarium for our evening speakers, as well as sowing a seed into the hosting churches and a seed offering into our Apostle and Pastor. We ask that the $300 seed be turned in by the first week of March so we can have our obligations taken care of. A general offering will also be received at each fellowship service.
At our final 5th Sunday Fellowship service, we would love to have a fellowship dinner (already covered). We will also give each hosting church a seed offering, evenly distributed to the Bishop or Pastor that hosted, and present our Apostle Larry B. Aiken and Pastor Olivia C.Q. Aiken with their seed offering from the fellowship.
Each 5th Sunday service will start at 5:00 PM, allowing everyone time to rest from Sunday morning services before coming together to fellowship. Thank you all for your participation and willingness to see the New Vision Worldwide Fellowship of Churches Midwest Region grow and flow in the spirit of unity and oneness. Psalm 133.
Blessings to you all,
Bishop Jess W. Thomas III

A covered dish for fellowship dinner (final service)
Five times a year the calendar gives us a fifth Sunday, and New Vision turns it into a family reunion. Worship that lingers, tables that overflow, and saints reminded again that we belong to one another.
Why We Gather
Whenever a month carries a fifth Sunday, our fellowship family sets that day apart to break bread, lift our voices, and renew the bonds of love that make us one body.
What to Expect
A Spirit-led service followed by a shared meal. Visitors are family from the moment they walk in. Bring your appetite, bring your praise, bring a friend.
Captured Memories
Below you'll find photos from our most recent gatherings. New images are added after each fifth Sunday so the family can relive every moment.

About the Fellowship
New Vision Worldwide Fellowship of Churches
An independent fellowship of churches designed to support and enhance the overall ministries of its sister churches, a New Nation of Pastors and Church leaders walking in the holy calling of God for such a time as this.
Who We Are
NVWWFOC is a gathering of churches and church leaders ready for transformation through the revelation of God's eternal Word. We are centered around the concept of obedience and submission to God in day-to-day ministry operation. We are not a denomination, but rather a New Nation of pastors and church leaders who dare to be different.
When We Were Established
The vision for the New Vision Fellowship was birthed and founded in April 2000 under the leading and inspiration of the Holy Spirit. In June 2001, God fully established and ordained New Vision under the leadership of Pastor (now Apostle) Larry B. Aiken.
Our Mission
Equip, empower, and encourage Pastors and Church Leaders with cutting-edge information and resources that inspire their local assembly.
Provide counseling and encouragement to Pastors and assist them in establishing the vision for their local church.
Offer ministry training, instruction, technical assistance, and spiritual guidance to Pastors and lay leaders through on-site and practical training.
Offer assistance in all ceremonials, ordinations, and installation procedures.
Serve as a spiritual covering for Pastors and leaders, challenging them to walk in holiness and integrity.
Help build ministries of purpose, power, and praise, maximizing their God-given potential through partnerships with other churches in a manner that glorifies God.
Establish a yearly Convocation consisting of all churches connected with NVWWFOC.
Serve not as overseer of the local church, but as a resource and support to the local church pastor as he/she fulfills the mandate of God.
The New Vision Worldwide Fellowship of Churches is here to lift up the name of JESUS and to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ through domestic and foreign missions.
Apply for Membership
