Neville Johnson was a UK born New Zealand Pentecostal pastor who ran the Living Word Foundation from Australia.
He was converted in the Pentecostal church Hebron Tabernacle in Sunderland at 12 years old and felt a call to ministry at the age of 14.
They then returned to New Zealand taking over the leadership of the Auckland Assembly, a church which had entered a period of significant growth.
[1][2] The church moved several times, eventually settling in the Auckland Town Hall and became known as the Queen Street Assembly of God.
This was a period of change in the Assemblies; Frank Houston resigned as Superintendent in 1977 and soon after Jim Williams was elected in his place.
