At the age of twenty-two John Brewer was appointed by the late Bishop Carlis L. Moody Sr. to be his Assistant Pastor of the Faith

Temple Church of God in Christ. He was the 2nd person to hold this position.  Bishop Moody became heavily involved within

the National Missions Department of the church, this resulted in me over seeing the well-being and safety of the church in his absence. Often times Bishop Moody could be gone for weeks at a time.  In his absence I managed all of the various department ministries within the church as well as any situations that would arise. While under the Late Bishop Moody, I started the first Junior Church Ministry. This resulted in me putting in place Spirit filled staff to take on the assignment of ministering to the children each Sunday.  The Junior church would start at the beginning of the regular services.  This was a way to keep the children’s attention while ministering to them at the same time.  As youth leaders we held street crusades where we went out into the community with open air services, marches and street witnessing. I serviced under the late Bishop Moody for twenty-one years.  This is when I became.
