THE National Leadership Prayer Breakfast Committee (NLPB) has announced pending changes in its leadership following its recent annual general meeting.

The change comes as the current chairman, Reverend Sam McCook, and his team, have constitutionally completed their full term of four years.

The newly-elected committee leaders will serve from 2025-2027, effective September.

Rev McCook will be succeeded by Pastor Claudia Ferguson, executive member of the Jamaica Evangelical Alliance and director of Love 101 FM radio and television.

Pastor Ferguson has served on the NLPB Committee since 2013 and is pastor in the Seventh-day Baptist Church denomination.

The vice-chair will be Rev Dr Rohan Ambersley, executive member of the New Testament Church of God in Jamaica.

In the meantime the secretarial post will be held by Rev Dr Wayneford McFarlane, executive member of the Jamaica Council of Churches and pastor of the Saxthorpe Methodist Church, with the assistant secretary to be Bishop Courtney Golding, currently chairman of the Jamaica Pentecostal Union Apostolic and pastor of the Orangefield Pentecostal Tabernacle.

The NLPB Committee has hosted an annual prayer breakfast in Jamaica for 45 years.

The prayer breakfast is aimed at fostering unity, fellowship, and spiritual reflection among the nation’s leaders.

As part of its commitment to nation building, the NLPB 2025 outreach project has focused on supporting The Tegwyn House — a special unit at the Jamaica National Children’s Home that cares for children who have severe mental and physical disabilities and need 24-hour care.
