Foreign Missions

Foreign Missions Director

The important work of coordinating and promoting Foreign Missions in our District is headed by Rev. Rodney Garner, who has a burden to see that UPCI Missionaries receive the support they need, and that our District continues in the vision of prayer and financial support for our Missionaries. He has served in this capacity since 2001. Bro. Garner is also the pastor of the First United Pentecostal Church of Security, a role he has filled since 1969.

Letter From Brother Garner

Dear Brethren,

Greetings in the precious name of Jesus! Jesus said " ...Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest." The goal of the United Pentecostal Church is to send a missionary to every country.

I believe Faith Promise is the key to helping every church get involved and increase our giving. Faith Promise is primarily a concept or plan to bring funds into the church to meet the needs of missions. Many church programs provide monies directly to a particular division and its promotion, such as Sheaves for Christ and Save Our Children. Faith Promise, on the other hand, seeks God's blessings on the funds, which come through the local church for distribution by the church and pastor to meet their own church obligations and support of missions at home and abroad.

Thank you for taking my calls and for your continued sacrifice for Foreign Missions. Paul encouraged us to not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap. When you provide an offering, hotel, meals or PIM support you are investing in souls for eternity.

Yours for souls,


R. J. Garner
Colorado District
Foreign Missions Director
