Guanajuato  District Council ED 78
   DIOCESAN Bishop Leon Parkerl

In 1984, Bishop  Leon Parker’s ministry began to move to a higher level; Pastor Mary Parker turned the church leadership over to her son. With a vision of pastoring, the Lord blessed Elder Leon Parker to add two churches to his ministry; Zion Temple of Tyler, Texas in 1992 and Mount Calvary of Corsicana, Texas in 1999. During this period, he was elevated from Elder to District Elder. In July 2002, Zion purchased its present-day home, 3940 Blue Ridge Boulevard; Dallas, Texas 75233 and our pastor was elevated to Suffragan Bishop. He has served in the capacity of the chaplain of the Texas State Council, President of the Texas State Council Young People’s Auxiliary, President of Texas State Council Men’s Ministry, Assistant Treasurer, and is currently Council Chairman of the Texas State Council and currently the Assistant Treasurer of the Pentecostal Assemblies of the World, Inc.
