He served on the original slate of YPC Officers from 1954 through 1961 as Vice President, and in later years as Chaplain. In fact, our motto: "We Are Workers Together With Him In Love!" was introduced to the YPC in 1980 through the vision of (then) Elder Myles. Bishop Myles is a dynamic "Minister of the Gospel", who delivers God's Word with great conviction and in demonstration of the "Spirit and Power". He is most noted for his scriptural-based style of message delivery, so..."that your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God". Bishop Myles was the faithful husband to the late Missionary Laura E. Myles for nearly 39 years. Together, they raised four children to adulthood: Francis Jr., Anthony, Ivin and Lolita. Following the death of his first wife in February of 1993, Bishop Myles remarried in April of 1995 to Sister Janice Twitty Myles, "Our Elect Lady" of the House. God has also blessed Bishop Myles to be the grandfather of five: Ivoree, Ivin II, Anthony Jr., Addison and Allura.
