From the Patriarch House of Land descended Apostle Bobby Land Jr. born to the union of Bobby and Loriece Land. The Bishop received his prophetic mantle ushering him into the Gospel and Theology of Liberation at the Age of thirteen (13). The young Bishop's call was first made public in the old Missionary Baptist Church and the Churches of God in Christ early on in his journey in the mid seventies. He officially launch his first public appearance delivering a prophetic message entitled, "There's A New World Coming", his text found in the book of Revelation, chapter 21:1-7. The prophetic word that he delivered at the historical Countyline Missionary Baptist Church of Ben wheeler, Texas was a part of his journey into Liberation Gospel/Theology and the Prophetic office.
After launching into the field of evangelism as a Priest of the Lord, he ministered everywhere made available to him in the streets, church buildings, auditoriums, nursing homes, and hospitals, laying on of hands and praying for the sick. The Elders in the city were astonished at his well versed knowledge of the scriptures and his fiery and passionate preaching. God lead the Bishop to a protestant revival meeting at the Rosedale Church of God in Christ of Tyler in 1975, where he along with many other young Christian converts received the Baptism in the Holy Spirit with tongues of fire. Soon after, his unusual prophetic mantle grew stronger. He knew from that time on God had a special calling on his life. The Bishop began to ponder in his mind who he was in priestly formation and appointment by God in Succession of Apostolic Order and Sacramental Confirmation. He later was introduced to the life and ministry of Charles Harrison Mason, chief apostle and founder of the largest African American Protestant movement in America. Land realized God was watching over him to bring him to his present place of priesthood spiritual maturity and understanding the mystical wonder of apostolic order and sacramental deliverance. He made a pilgrimage to Dallas Texas in 1977, where he was mentor in Christian faith by the chief spiritual leader Elder Edward Calloway Sr. of the Lighthouse Church of God in Christ. After gaining favor with Calloway, he was licensed by the Church in 1978 under the leadership of Calloway and later ordained in his home town Terrell, Texas under the leadership of Sidney D. Lee Sr. in 1981. The young Bishop would shut himself away for days and weeks seeking God's directions for his life. After many years of service at the Lighthouse Church and the Dallas west area, God spoke to him to relocate in East Texas. After visiting with Calloway in his personal study for several hours sharing his vision, Calloway gave him his blessings and prayed for him asking God to give him perseverance. The work was great and challenging. A mission was launched, and the Bishop went everywhere made available to him spreading the Gospel of Liberation. At that time he founded and incorporated the Word Ministry Saints Center Catholic Mission. Several other missions were established up until 1989, when he founded the Pentecostal Assembly Church of the World, Inc. at which time he was confirmed and consecrated first Bishop of the Church. He serves and continues to serve as a community leader in the East Texas area. He received an honorary Doctor of Ministry in 1996. During that time Bishop became active in many civic groups in East Texas. He was awarded that same year recognition for special achievement and excellence in 20 years in Christian Ministry through the Institutional Church by Bishop Andrew Stimpson Jr. and Reverend L.J. Johnson, November 9, 1996. He was honored with documents of recognition for Dedication in Christian Ministry and participation in The International Civitan Clergy Appreciation Week, February 4, 1998.
