Bishop Robert Gosselin

Bishop Robert is a voice for unity in the Body of Christ. His heart’s cry is the prayer of Jesus in John 17, that followers of Jesus may be one, and so proclaim the message of the Gospel in the power of His glory.

God gave Bishop Robert an interesting task one day in prayer, telling him “I am teaching you to count to one!” The lesson was to be found in a simple truth revealed in the pages of the scriptures. The Lord’s determination to see the unity of His Body restored and His desire to see the power of His glory displayed to a lost and dying world will strike you with deliberate force as you take in the message of Count To One.

Bishop Robert serves as the President & Chief Executive Officer of Count to One, a ministry which exists to promote greater unity in the Body of Christ worldwide. Christ said that our love for one another would be the way the world would know that we are His disciples. As followers of Christ forgive one another and love one another - we will be in a better position to serve Jesus and fulfill the Great Commission.

Ordained to the ministry in 1999 in the Assemblies of God, Bishop Robert was consecrated a bishop in the Communion of Evangelical Episcopal Churches (the CEEC) on June 10, 2012 at the Garden Tomb in Jerusalem. The CEEC is a conservative communion of evangelical Christians who embrace all three historic streams of worship expression in the Church – the sacramental, the evangelical and the Pentecostal.

For four years since being consecrated a bishop, he served as the assistant to the CEEC’s Presiding Bishop of the Communion of Evangelical Episcopal Churches, assisting in the global mission of the Communion. Because of his personal experience helping South Sudan as it became an independent nation in 2011, Bishop Robert was appointed as Bishop of South Sudan in January of 2013. Bishop Robert was also concurrently appointed as Bishop of the Mediterranean and Middle East and tasked with looking for evangelism and church planting opportunities in that region.
