CHAPLAINCY
Chaplain for Institutions
Ministry to people confined to various institutions has expanded since 1963 when The Pentecostal Assemblies of Newfoundland and Labrador appointed veteran pastor, Arthur S. Winsor, to the position of Chaplain for Institutions. In 1982, Pastor Graham E. Noble was appointed to succeed the retiring Winsor. Ten years later, Pastor Roy A. Burden succeeded Noble. Pastor Robert G. Parsons succeeded Burden.
On September 1st, 2011, Pastor Shawn Bowers began Chaplaincy ministry with the PAONL. Pastor Bowers is from a strong Pentecostal heritage, a graduate of Eastern Pentecostal Bible College (now Master's College & Seminary) with a Bachelors Degree in Missions and has been involved in pastoral ministry for over 24 years. He is very passionate about chaplaincy work. His calling and vision is found in Matthew 25: 31-46 "doing ministry unto Jesus." The Bowers family attend Bethesda Pentecostal Church.

David Newman, Director
If there is a word that best describes Young Adult Ministry it may be “opportunity.” At no other time in a person’s life does an individual simultaneously possess both the passion and energy of youth and the life-defining possibilities of adulthood. Our goal is to connect with young adults wherever they are – geographically and spiritually – and then encourage personal discipleship, teach them to engage their culture, and provide them with ministry opportunities in our province and around the world.
David’s ministry passions are missions, higher education and the mobilization of young adults to their calling. David, and his wife Deidra, have two children, Daniel-Caleb and Rasami. He has ministered in places as diverse as northern Labrador, Outport Newfoundland, downtown St. John’s, St. Pierre and Miquelin, Cuba, Thailand, and Malawi. The opportunities remain limitless!
