About the Pastor

Elder Evon St. Aubin Nunes was born and raised in a strict but exceptionally loving Christian home in Manchester, Jamaica, and is the first of 8 children. His mother, a strong disciplinarian and faithful Missionary at Belfield Pentecostal Church, ensured her children attended church. Pastor's early home and church life became the solid foundation for the future that God had in store for him.

After completing his early education, Pastor Nunes became a beloved teacher and served for 3 years at the Bombay Public School in Manchester, Jamaica. During this time, he also established and led the 1st female scouting group in Bombay, Manchester, and the group went on to receive several honours in the national competitions. These experiences were an indication of the strong leadership skills he would bring to his pastoral role and other areas of his life.

In May, 1967 Elder Nunes migrated to Toronto, Canada at 21 years of age and, except for a few distant cousins, he was stranger in a strange land. In the fall of the following year, Evon Nunes was baptized in Jesus' name at the Mt. Oliver Pentecostal Church in Toronto, and later received the precious infilling of the Holy Spirit. From early in his new life with Christ, he was active in the church.

He served as a Youth President for 18 years, was a faithful choir member, church administrator, and served as the General Secretary of the West Indian Canadian International Fellowship.

In November of 1969, Pastor married his sweetheart from home, the lovely Sonia Cockett. They were blessed with four children: Loraine, Andrew, Leisa and Tanya, and recently their first granddaughter, Kaylah Jordyn. He has worked long and hard to provide for his family and the schooling of his children and has been employed by the same company for almost 36 years. He is currently the Production Manager.

Pastor Nunes is a great advocate of education and a champion of the institutions of marriage and family. His dynamic teachings in these areas are life-altering and inspiring. In Ephesians 4:11, the Apostle Paul states that God, "gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers"). This loving, dedicated man of God is truly a gift to the Triumphant family in particular and to the Kingdom of God in general. We are blessed to have such a man of God as our pastor.
