"The

possibility of death is a grim reality for Fr.

Prakash," said Epps, who has twice had the

bishop-elect in his church in Peachtree City. "He,

more than anyone else, knows the great dangers he faces.

Yet, he is committed to bringing the Gospel of Christ to

Pakistan."

Yuhanna has

personally planted over 10 churches in his home nation in

the past two years. Officials in Pakistan refused to

allow Yuhanna's family to come to the United States for

the consecration ceremony.

The

convocation also will feature a number of workshops for

clergy and laity with workshop leaders coming from across

the South.

Christ the

King Church, established as a home missions church in

1996, currently meets in Peachtree City and is in the

process of purchasing 11.5 acres of land on Ga. Hwy. 34

in Coweta County.
