PASTOR WENDELL'S BIO
 

PASTOR WENDELL MCGOWAN

BIO

 

   Wendell McGowan, pastors River City Church  in Redding, California with his wife of 37 years, Lauretta.  Pastor McGowan was    born January 11, 1949 in Richmond, California and was raised in Redding, California.  He served in the U.S. Army and went to Vietnam for    1 year. When he returned home from his tour of duty, he married his wife, Lauretta, December 9, 1972.  They have 3 children, Donelle (who now resides in Heaven with Jesus). Rochelle, who lives in Henderson, Nevada. Wendell II , his wife Jenni, and their 3 sons, 8 year old, Wendell III (Trey), 5 year old Austin and 1 year old Dylan,  who also reside in Henderson.   

Pastor McGowan is a dynamic and fiery, yet compassionate preacher of the Word of God.  Wendell has the heart of a Father with an evangelistic thrust.  Although he walks in a diversity of gifts, he operates mainly in a prophetic anointing.  God has also used him in spiritual warfare, and in the laying on of hands for healing.  

Pastor Wendell has been in the forefront of the renewal being experienced in Northern California.  He has also been instrumental in bringing the body of Christ into unity in his community.  It is through his demonstration of love for his peers, regardless of denominational ties that has made this possible. Wendell  is highly regarded amongst his peers and well respected by leaders in the community.  

He consistently preaches and lives a message and lifestyle full of vision and hope through Christ.  He has a heart to see each believer take their place in ministry in the body of Christ operating to their fullest potential.  Pastor Wendell has been invited to preach throughout the United States, South America, United Kingdom and Europe.   He is well known for his “Tell it like it really is” preaching style.  The Lord uses him in dynamic ways when he ministers at home and away.  

One word that best describes Wendell is PASSION.  He has a passion about everything he does.  We believe God is using Wendell to help mend a net for the end time harvest.
