Reinstate Gilbert Todachine as Pastor of Gospel Lighthouse Church Crownpoint, New Mexico.
A careful review of Gilbert Todachine’s tithing for the year of 2019. In lieu of his termination is requested. That is to say an “appeal” on Mr. Todachine’s behalf by the assembly of Gospel Lighthouse Crownpoint.
Termination should not be determined by a one or two people in the District as to this saddening outcome. In fact, there wasn’t any hard evidence presented to Crownpoint Gospel Lighthouse Church as to the non payment of tithes. Mr. Todachine has stated that he has been faithful in giving to the work of the Lord with documentation.
Mr. McLain has come and shared his point of this matter but did not satisfy the real reason for this decision. The decision seems very very unfair. Mr Todachine wasn't allowed to attend the meeting on January 18th to speak on his behalf or present this matter before the attendees. We feel as a body, that his presence was needed at this meeting and we are very disappointed that he wasn't allowed to represent himself before the board, attendees and Mr. McClain.
A FAIR review of documentation is requested and we believe he has met the requirement within the required time frame.
In addition we the body of Crownpoint Gospel Lighthouse request full reinstatement (immediately) as Pastor of Gospel Light House Church Crownpoint, New Mexico per the board, leadership team and members.
We feel his presence here is greatly needed. God's work is flourishing in the community due to his presence and of his preaching of God's word. The Assembly will be devastated by his removal as Pastor. God has ordained this man and he has placed him here for this time. We ask for full reinstatement upon careful review of his tithing of 2019. As brothers and sisters in Christ we should help one another and not look into monetary issues as a reason for dismissal.

Why is this important?
The congregation of Gospel Lighthouse have been impacted by Gilbert and Rosita Todachine as spiritual ministers and leaders of the Gospel Lighthouse, Crownpoint, New Mexico. It would be a terrible tragedy for the congregation, that has settled in with the Todachine family's. presence, to be removed from his position. Reason being the current congregation is growing in the Lords Word tremendously and is adjusting from the past occurrence in the church from the previous Pastor. The Assembly of Gospel Lighthouse disagree with the decision made by the Assemblies of God District Office. The removal of Mr. Todachine, we feel is unjust and think that better communication and working with Mr. Todachine on this matter would have been appropriate.
Furthermore, a careful review is requested by the Gospel Lighthouse board, leadership team and congregation as to the outcome of this decision to terminate Gilbert Todachine’s Pastoral License.
His anointing and positioning of God, has been for this time in Crownpoint. He has shown his love for Gods work here in Crownpoint and has the integrity of the Lords work. He also has shown his love for the people of Crownpoint . We ask humbly to consider this appeal, by the board, leadeshipteam and congregation of Crownpoint Gospel Lighthouse Church. Thankyou.
