Leadership Team

All Nations Apostolic Tabernacle, under the leadership of God and our pastor, aims  “to preach, teach and through personal involvement, propagate the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ as recorded in the Word of God.”

The Rev. Devon Dawson is the senior pastor of All Nations Apostolic Tabernacle (ANAT).  After serving for twenty-three years as missionaries to the countries  of Guyana, Trinidad and Tobago, and Suriname with his wife, Joy, they relocated to New York to continue the work in fulfilling the Great Commission (to spread the gospel to all nations). His desire to move the Kingdom of God forward has resulted in the establishment of a growing congregation situated in the heart of Jamaica, New York and additional churches located in the New York communities of Valley Stream and New Rochelle.

In addition to pastoring ANAT, he serves as the district superintendent for the New York Metro District of the United Pentecostal Church International (UPCI), serving now for a cumulative total of twelve years. He considers his wife, Joy, to be a gift from God. Together, they have been blessed with three daughters – Kesha (Gary), Shondell (Sean), and Devany – and four grandchildren – Sean, Lauren, Kyemi-Rae and Gabrel.
