Recently, I mailed a letter to all ministers of the United Pentecostal Church International concerning goals, progress in 2010, and plans for 2011. If you would like to view it digitally, login to the UPCI ministers website, www.upciministers.com.
In January I had the opportunity to attend Because of the Times, a conference for ministers and spouses in Alexandria, LA, hosted by Pastor Anthony Mangun and the Pentecostals of Alexandria. I was asked to speak about 15 minutes to cast vision for our fellowship and movement. My message, entitled "New Paths," can be heard on the UPCI main website, www.upci.org.
Also in January, the Home Missions Division aired an interview with me on the progress of the UPCI, ways to minister effectively in the modern cultural context, and growing churches in North America. To view this interview, go to www.homemissionsdivision.com/hmlive and select "HM Live January 04, 2011."
In 2010, at the request of Pastors Tim Dugas and Scott Graham of The Sanctuary in Hazelwood, MO, I taught three lessons on the topic of holiness, covering the biblical foundation for holy living, the distinction of sexes, and modesty. These lessons are available as a three-disk set entitled The Life of Holiness. Videos of the lessons are on two DVDs, and customizable teacher's notes and PowerPoint presentations are on a CD-ROM. Many pastors have used these lessons for midweek Bible study, adult Sunday School, or discipleship classes. The set may be obtained from the Pentecostal Publishing House at www.pentecostalpublishing.com.
As a reminder, the General Conference has been changed to meet Tuesday night through Saturday night, October 11-15, 2011, in Louisville, KY. The business session will be held on Wednesday, October 12. The conference will feature preaching and training, with many seminars for ministers and lay leaders on Friday and Saturday, October 14-15. Please make plans to attend and to bring church staff members with you. Registration is now open for all ministers at www.upcigc.com.
The Executive and General Boards will meet on February 28-March 3. Please pray for God to direct our leaders as they make decisions for our fellowship. After the meetings I will update on our plans.
Sincerely in Christ,
David K. Bernard
