Our Network
CIAN is a network of ministers and churches brought together by a common
heart and vision. Our goal is to provide a place for both ministers and
churches to be established in present-day truth and accountability.
Our Pastors
John and Sue Bowers have an impressive global history in
service to the Lord. John and Sue are Graduates of Rhema Bible Training
Center. They pastored in Ohio for over four years. In 1980, they founded
Good News International, a missions ministry which is flourishing. As
President of G. N. I., John has been establishing a retreat in Florida to
train missionaries from around and to provide much needed rest and
recuperation from the mission field.
Called to Haiti in 1985, John and Sue ran a school for missionary children
and founded a church which became part of the Foursquare denomination. After
ten years of ministry to pastors and missionaries, John was named Senior
Pastor, Sue was named Administrative Pastor of Grace Fellowship
International Church in Erie, PA.
Under their leadership, Grace is a thriving regional church prophesied to
establish the Kingdom of God in the greater Erie area. Under the covering of
Christian International Network of Churches, Pastor John most recently
completed a ministry trip to Dominican Republic. He frequently travels to
nations to encourage pastors and missionaries rundown by daily
difficulties, political unrest, and the sense of being alone. Other mission
travels include Haiti, Nunavut, Guatemala, China, India, Mexico, and Japan.
Pastor Sue is a phenomenal teacher and prophet and is dedicated to seeing
the details of ministry perfected here in Grace.
John and Sue have three children: Matthew serves as associate pastor at
Grace; Sarah works at home; and Micah works as a financial advisor.
