After 12 years as Verbo’s international director, James Jankowiak resigned the post at the end of 2010. He continues his functions as a member of the International and Central American councils and as coordinator for the churches in Brazil and Spain from his home in Guatemala City. He was not replaced, but rather the nine-member International Council will work on a consensus basis with a rotating coordinator.

      James explained, “I feel that God is guiding us into new, more dynamic and relational leadership based more on apostolic and other fivefold gifts rather than on national hierarchies. God's boundaries and spheres of responsibility are different from national frontiers.”

In January, the international ministry recognized Ecuadorian Diego Espinoza as a fivefold prophet. Diego oversees the churches in Quito. John Guido, founder of Verbo Cuenca, Ecuador, was recognized as an apostle. Bob Capaldi, Verbo’s South America director, also was recognized as an apostle. In the coming months other fivefold ministers will receive official recognition in Central and North America.
