In addition to their credentials, each Bishop was clothed and decorated with symbols which represent their new status in the churches.

The ceremony took the form of procession by the bishops and pastors who blessed the congregation as they passed by.
Presiding Bishop of Winner’s Cathedral Dr. Juan Edghill delivered the sermon.
He noted that the occasion marked the official induction for several Ministers into Zadok‘s Fellowship.
He noted that several of the awardees were already functioning in the leadership capacities before the acknowledgement before the congregation of churches.
Bishop Edghill referenced biblical texts that spoke to new beginnings. Further, he noted that the conferral marked the dawning of a new era for the ministers and a shift of their work in the body of Christ.
Archbishop Babb also addressed the congregation of churches. He told the leaders that just like the biblical figure David, their appointment to office can take different phases.
He noted David was anointed three times before he was recognized as King over all Israel.
Archbishop Babb referenced Saul who in the biblical times was also appointed King with assignment to unite the scattered tribes of Israel.
He noted, “God placed men around Saul to help him pursue that goal.”
Babb said that the fellowship which aims to produce a network amongst local churches by forging unity among its people can serve as central point for training and launching leaders of the local church.
Zadok was formed as a group of Independent Ministers who believed that it was through wise counsel of Almighty God that they were inspired to form a network for Ministers who are broadly located and without a local network fellowship.
The word Zadok in its simplest form can be defined as “Kings of righteousness” or the Priesthood which Ministered to God. Therefore, as a fellowship, the ultimate aspiration is to ensure a high quality of ministry, and to be a collective voice that speaks to the nation.
The fellowship was formed in December 2018 as a place where accountability, order and impartation are manifested.
Zadok Ministers Fellowship started with 70 Ministers representing local churches and ministries.
The new organization is expected to forge unity amongst people under the theme “WE ARE BETTER TOGETHER” a fellowship to be never divisive, exclusive, sectarian, but will be embracing ministers and churches in all 10 regions of Guyana- Urban, Rural and Hinterland.
