Before he returned to the states he had established an apostolic broadcast with the Power Mix Radio station, began a cable television broadcast, planted a church in the town of Silkgrass, and implemented plans for a crusade. Over the years, Suffragan Bishop Boyd has been able to partner with various economic development groups and rehabilitation centers in order to bring aid to the Belizean people. He has always established food programs to help feed local school children, Additionally, he has hosted a number of crusades which have resulted in many Belizeans being Baptized in Jesus Name and filled with the Holy Ghost. As a result of Suffragan Bishop Boyd’s efforts, there are currently eight Belizean churches that have been brought into the Pentecostal Assemblies of the World, and several other independent apostolic churches expressing an interest in following suit.
