Today we are celebrating the Sixteenth Anniversary of our church. Our guest speaker is Stephen Drury, director of Stewardship for the United Pentecostal Church International and formerly director of Tupelo Children’s Mansion. His wife, Evelyn, is the dean of administration for Urshan Graduate School of Theology. There will be a reception after the evening service.
Next Sunday is Mother’s Day, and it is also Pentecost Sunday. We will feature Mother’s Day in our morning service and Pentecost Sunday in our evening service. Please take this opportunity to invite family members and friends to church.
My trip to Kyrgyzstan in Central Asia was a success. I taught the first seminar in this country on the Apostolic message to about 25 ministers and church leaders. At the conclusion, three pastors and one assistant pastor were baptized in Jesus’ name, and others will be baptized soon. An application has been made to register the United Pentecostal Church in this overwhelmingly Muslim nation.
Please pray for our building program. In the next couple of weeks, we expect to obtain approval for our loan as well as approval for our site plan, but we need your continued prayers for favorable answers and favorable terms. We have sent a down payment of $112,500 for our metal building, and we will finalize our purchase of the additional 1.5 acres soon, so we also need your continued financial support.
