Sat, 8 May 2010 10:24:00 MST http://www.coloradodistrict.com/app/w_page.php?type=section&id=101 http://www.coloradodistrict.com/app/w_page.php?type=section&id=101&article_id=157 Foreign Missions Report May 7, 2010 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 Home Missions Report May 7th, 2010 Dear Colorado pastors and ministers, The Colorado Home Missions Department is focused on supporting each churches effort to evangelize our state with the message of salvation. We plan our year with the intent of offering the district assistance in touching the lives of the unchurched in every community. Colorado is made up of 64 counties consisting of over 4 and half million people. The opportunities are there and the task of reaching everyone in our state is overwhelming. Christmas for Christ is the sponsored fund raising effort that financially enables us to provide help to our home missionaries as they establish works across the Colorado district. Our 2009 Colorado CFC campaign provided over $20,000 towards the local and national effort of establishing churches North America. I would like to personally thank the Colorado District pastors for your generous support in giving to Christmas for Christ. We were blessed this past year to have our General Home Missions Director, Bro. Carlton Coon in Colorado for our CFC rallies. Bro. Coon's burden for Home Missions and the missionary family was obvious as he shared with us his vision for North America. Our Home Missions retreat in April was a powerful time of ministry as Brother's James Littles and Robbie Mitchell brought a very timely word to those of us who were in attendance. Let's continue to pray that God would speak to many more to join us in the task of reaching all of Colorado with the gospel. There are many communities in our district that are in need of a church to bring the hope of salvation to them. As you continue to support our home missionaries in giving to CFC, please remember to pray for them as well. It is more challenging than ever before for the home missionary family to remain in their field of labor and overcome the many obstacles they face in building a church. Thank you for allowing me the awesome opportunity to serve the Colorado District as your Home Missions director. My hope is that we can continue to grow until we have faithfully fulfilled our commission in spreading the gospel to everyone in all 64 counties of Colorado. For Him, Bro. Derwood Tate Home Missions Director, Colorado District Youth Ministry Report TONY BOHRER YOUTH PRESIDENT 774 PARK CT, CRAIG, CO 81625 970-629-5081// pastor@lighthouseofcraig.com April 17, 2010 Greetings in the precious name of the Lord! I first want to thank Jon Moran for all that he has done. I know he is not here but, he was a big part of bringing the Colorado District Youth to a new level. I want to thank the youth board for all their hard work in making a difference in the lives of young people. Last year was the toughest and most challenging year of our lives. We would like to thank you all for your prayers and support during the difficult time that we experienced. We have learned when there is opposition that there is going to be victory! Throughout last year we had the privilege to see God move mightily in the lives of young people. We started last year with "youth fun night" at family camp. We have over a 150 young people as we tried our hand at roller skating. A few weeks after family camp our youth retreat kicked off with almost 100 kids registered and 200 attending the night services. We heard some of the most anointed preaching by Rev. Jason Aguliar. As he began to preach and move into the gifts of the spirit you could begin to see God changing the lives of young people. After youth camp we finished up our Sheaves for Christ campaign. Understanding that the economy has affected every family, pastor, and local church our SFC offering was down almost $10,000.00 in comparison to 2008. Even with this down economy the youth board and I believe that SFC is still worth giving to. We are believing for a great year in 2010 for our offering for SFC. Our goal offering for 2010 is $25,000.00. We believe the Colorado District can meet this goal with 100% cooperation. Finally, we closed 2009 with youth convention that will forever be remembered as Rev. Simeon Costa challenged the kids to REVOLUTIONIZE their world! I want to personally thank every pastor and minister in this wonderful District for joining the vision that this youth department has. I would like to thank you in advance for your support of the youth department as we continue to reach for the young people of Colorado. Thank you for all of your support! Youth for the kingdom, Tony Bohrer Colorado Youth President Sunday School Report Greetings in the Name of Jesus: To the Colorado Ministers in session at the 2010 District Conference The Colorado District Sunday School Department is very close to being out of debt. For the last three years our department has operated within its budget finishing each year with more than we spent. The funds owed to the general fund should be paid off already if not before the close of this year. I am pleased to announce, Bro. Stephen Sutter and Sis. Stephanie Samora as the new Singles Ministry directors. Last year's Save Our Children Offering was again successful. The district had over a 40.88% increase in offerings from you and the churches of Colorado. Thank you for giving to help us in Sunday School. Jr. Camp was awesome. A lot of children received the Holy Ghost and many more were blessed of the Lord. Bro. Jeremy Joyce ministered to the children while the Henry's and some of the children ministered with music. There was a mighty presence of God surrounding the place and each person. From Thursday till Saturday morning the campers had a blast. Br Turpin helped me with a skit and in the setting up of the sound system. I thank all those ministers that promoted Sunday School to your churches. I would like to thank the Sunday School Board for its help in making Sunday School a great success in reaching children. I believe as I always have that we should give the most to those whom we say we love the most. That is why SOC is the place I give my best. Children are not only the church of tomorrow, but they are also the church of today. I have been the Sunday School Director now for about 6 years. I have greatly enjoyed this blessing. Working with children has always been my burden. You fellow ministers have made it possible for me to fulfill my burden every day. I am humbled by your confidence in me and I look forward to many more years in your service as the CO District Sunday School Dir. Respectfully Submitted This May 2010 District Conference. Rev. Tony Roberts Ladies Ministry Report May 7, 2010 To the Colorado District Conference in Session, Greetings to each of you. It is an honor to serve the Ladies Ministries of the United Pentecostal Church representing the Colorado District. Ladies Ministries allocates monies to many great causes across North America and around the world. Churches in Colorado sponsored 37 foreign Bible College students. Fifty percent of the monies given through Mother's Memorial stays in the district to fund Ladies Conference expenses, hospitality baskets for district events, floral arrangements and compassion service funds to ministers during illness. Thank you for giving to Mother's Memorial once again. Our 2009 Ladies Conference was a great success! Last year's conference was held in August at the Pueblo Convention Center. Special speakers included Sis. Cindy Miller, professor at Urshan Graduate School of Theology (St. Louis, Missouri), Sis. Debbie Velie, representative of New Beginnings Adoption Agency and Crisis Pregnancy Intervention (Tupelo, Mississippi), Crissy Horn, birth mom at New Beginnings, Kaye Singleton, District Superintendent's wife of South Carolina, Darlene Boyte, Music Director for the Wisconsin District, and Minerva Guerrera, Spanish ladies speaker (Detroit, Michigan). The conference was anointed from the opening service Thursday evening. Friday morning we hosted a Cancer Survivor Forum. The convention center was a very reasonable price and we were able to stay very close to budget. We asked each ladies director to schedule a ladies service within their section, as do most other departments of our district (i.e., Sunday School's CPR rallies, etc.). I would like to thank Sis. Theresa Wasserburger and Sis. Angela Pollard for hosting a Sectional Ladies' event last November at Bread of Life in Denver. The ladies of Sections 2 and 3 were blessed by the ministry of Sis. Esther Romero, National Spanish Ladies Ministries Director. It has been my privilege to serve the churches of the Colorado District. Respectfully submitted, Debra Cantu Ladies Ministries President Men's Ministry Report Dear Brethren, Greetings in the name that is above every name. It is with great pleasure that I report on the 2009 Men's Conference held in Estes Park. No doubt you remember the awesome time we had with Rev. Jerry Jones, Rev. Brian Kinsey, Rev. Erin Bryant, and Bro. Kelsey Harrel. The powerful anointed preaching, in both the English and Spanish services, was indeed life changing. From the first song of the first service, to the final altar call, the powerful anointed presence of the Holy Ghost reverberated throughout. Only eternity will be able to tell the impact these services have had on the men of the Colorado District. If you haven't had the pleasure of attending one of these winter conferences you are missing out on wonderful life impacting preaching, teaching, and worship. In the dead of winter we have found a spark of the Holy Ghost that has inspired and revived us to once again answer the call to prayer, praise, and evangelism. Thanks for supporting your Colorado Men's Department. We look forward to seeing you next February, as we once again make our way to the Rocky Mountains, for a fresh touch of the Holy Ghost. Sincerely yours for the cause of Christ, Rev. T.L. Plummer Director Fri, 7 May 2010 07:43:01 MST http://www.coloradodistrict.com/app/w_page.php?type=section&id=102 http://www.coloradodistrict.com/app/w_page.php?type=section&id=102&article_id=159 District Superintendent's Report May 7, 2010 Colorado District Conference in Session Breckenridge, Colorado Dear Fellow Ministers, I greet you all in the majestic Name of Jesus Christ. We are gathered here for the greatest work for the greatest institution on earth - the kingdom of God in the earth. Where there is a kingdom, it suggests there is a king and where there is a king, there is a government. We are called to be used in God's kingdom and to do the work of His government until He comes. Then our work will be over and our new calling will be for eternity. If you have been called and chosen of God to minister His government in the earth, then He requires one thing of us and that is to be faithful - faithful to His Gospel, faithful to His mission and faithful in righteous judgment. Since His coming is being witnessed to be very soon, may we all covenant together to unite with a common bond and a common goal to see His kingdom expand to all people. God has blessed our Colorado fellowship with hardworking leaders. 2009 has been a year of great challenge for our entire district, but we know who our Builder and Maker is and must put our confidence and trust in what He is doing. Sunday School Junior Camp and Kids Campmeeting was a great success and we are looking forward to a great 2010. It is all a grand investment into Colorado's future. Youth Camp and Youth Convention has been a great staple for the growth of our churches and for our district. May God continue to guide and anoint our Youth Team. Our Ladies and Men's Conferences have continued to add to the spiritual climate we desire to have in our district. Many of our pastors and churches have opened their arms for our deputizing missionaries and that keeps the revival fires burning in our churches. Home Missions has instituted a Home Missions seminar and is highlighting different areas for home missions churches and preaching points. May God bless all their efforts. I pray often for your families, your ministry, and your places of labor and believe our best is yet to be seen. I support what you are doing and thank you from my heart for your support and prayers for me. We have a great challenge before us, but we have the Almighty with us and we know His people are the apple of His eye. He tells us that from His Word. Thank you and God bless you for a job well done for 2009. Your grateful servant in Christ, B.E. Hale District Superintendent Colorado District District Secretary-Treasurer's Report May 7, 2010 Colorado District of the United Pentecostal Church My Precious Brothers, I count it a great privilege that last year you asked me to serve each of you and our wonderful District as your District Secretary-Treasurer. You have all made it a joyful experience already. I also appreciate the many words of encouragement. Bishop Hale has been very helpful to me as I endeavor to learn my new duties. As I am learning, I sincerely thank you for your continuing patience. I strongly believe that in the Colorado District United Pentecostal Church, we do value and need each and every congregation, pastor, and minister. We are all on the same team and are co-laborers together. The minister who may feel least successful or most struggling among us is still incredibly valuable to our cooperative fellowship and united effort to work in the Kingdom of the Lord. We all hold value in this awesome mission! Working together, we are pressing on while holding fast to Truth and Godliness, we are walking in the Spirit, seeking the Outpouring of the Holy Ghost and Fire and seeking Apostolic Pentecostal Revival! If we will work together with Unity of Purpose and a future-oriented Vision for the Cause of Revival and the Moving of His Spirit, then we will be blessed of the Lord with the answers to our fervent prayers!! I am still learning more and more about the accounting needs and "office" needs of the District. It has been a real challenge, but I believe that I am about to "get ahold" of it. I wish that I had had more current and updated data to give to each Departmental Leader throughout the year. As we "normalize" the data, we will be able to provide better and more timely information in the near future. I also wish that I had been able to provide Brother Costa the information he needed at an earlier date than I was able to do this year. However, I pledge that next year, I will know more and therefore be more capable of getting it to him sooner. And I wish to have a provide for a thorough review by each Department Leader of their "fund" well in advance of next year's District Conference. All of these goals are (of course) contingent upon the Lord's help! We are also happy to report that after many difficulties, the property in La Junta has now been sold. There were a number of obstacles especially related to the "title;" however, they have all been finally overcome, and now the deal is done. The financial implications of that sale will show up in next year's financial reports. In His Service and Yours, Pastor Kevin M.

Nona B. Freeman (1916-2009) On Saturday evening, December 26th at 10:45 PM, a treasure was called home. Sis. Nona Freeman, veteran missionary to Africa and one of the best-loved writers in Pentecost, at the age of 93, passed from this life peacefully at home with her family around her. Sister Freeman and her husband, Rev, E. L. (Bug) Freeman, began their life in missions work in 1948 in South Africa. They left the United States with their five children ranging in ages from nine years to six months, and spent the next forty-one years in Africa. Even after Brother Freeman's death in 1999, Sister Freeman continued to travel, preach and speak. She served the Lord in ministry for seventy years and has touched thousands of lives. Only eternity will truly know the far-reaching impact this great lady had. Please be in prayer for the Freeman family during this difficult time. We will all miss this great warrior for Truth, Faith, and the Moving of the Spirit of God (Stay in the Flow), Sister Nona Freeman, now promoted to "Glory!" And now Heaven is all the sweeter!!

The United Pentecostal Church International announces the election of the Reverend Doctor David K. Bernard as General Superintendent of the 3-million-member church. The ministers of the organization selected Reverend Bernard at their 85th annual General Conference held in St Louis last week. David K. Bernard is the founder and senior pastor of New Life Church in Austin, Texas. He is also District Superintendent of the South Texas District of the United Pentecostal Church International and president of Urshan Graduate School of Theology, located in St Louis. He has earned a doctor of jurisprudence with honors from the University of Texas, a master of theology from the University of South Africa, and a bachelor of arts in mathematical sciences and managerial studies with high honors from Rice University. He is currently a doctor of theology candidate in New Testament at the University of South Africa. In addition to his ministry in Austin and throughout the United States, he has ministered in forty-five countries on six continents. Bernard is also a prolific writer who has written extensively on the Bible, theology, the history of doctrine, and Christian living. To date, he has written thirty books, with a circulation of about 750,000. He has been published in thirty-six languages. In addition to his books, he has produced debates and teaching series on CD and DVD and other preaching and teaching helps on CD-ROM. David Bernard and his wife, Connie, have three children, Jonathan (married to Sara), Daniel, and Lindsey, and one grandchild, Elijah. The United Pentecostal Church International, headquartered in St Louis, has 30,000 churches in 192 nations around the world and a ministerial membership of 27,000. It was formed in 1945 from the merger of two previously established organizations. The UPCI emerged out of the Pentecostal movement that began in Topeka, Kansas, in 1901. It traces its organizational roots to October 1916, when a large group of ministers withdrew from the Assemblies of God over the doctrinal issues of the oneness of God and water baptism in the name of Jesus Christ. For the past eight years, Reverend Kenneth F. Haney has served as the General Superintendent of the church. Reverend Bernard is the 7th General Superintendent in the church's history.

We are excited for what God is going to do this year. It is simply amazing to watch these young people seek after God and get filled with His Spirit. Please be in prayer for this year's Camp. Many great things happened at the 2009 camp, including several young people receiving the baptism of the Holy Spirit. The young people thoroughly enjoyed the ministry of Bro. Joyce with every service ending with a powerful time of prayer. Seeing these young people pray is simply amazing. Many of them are very hungry for God. Many other fun activities took place at the 2009 camp. We are already looking forward to 2010 Jr. Camp and believing God for great things. Thanks to all who made the 2009 camp so successful. Praise the Lord! If you have any questions, contact Bro. Roberts or Bro. Bradley by way of email.

Pollard, Section 2 Presbyter True leadership is and has always been a selfless action. It is a way of thinking that takes other people into account even when ones own needs are pressing. Considering what is right or best in the bigger scheme of things, a leadership role must be understood as a temporary role, preserving something greater than self. It is the preservation of principles that are of an enduring and lasting value. This is a state of mind that focuses on the work at hand and not on what the individual may gain from the position. Throughout time, leaders who have chosen service over self-interest have been held in high regard. People gladly look to them for direction and guidance in times of indecision, hardship and trouble. Clearly, leadership is an issue that affects all of us. Not only are we impacted by it, but also, we are all called upon to exercise it. We are each thrust into many different leadership roles again and again, throughout our lives. When we are called upon to lead, what kind of leader we will be depends greatly on how we think about other people, and on how we determine what is right. A leader performs the task of watching over what is placed in their trust. It is a service performed for others and it is not about ownership or control. It is not a technique; it is an attitude—a state of being—a way of looking at God's creation. Leadership properly performed is not a consensus-building exercise but an exercise in outgoing concern for others including defining and setting boundaries as needed. What is critical to the leadership process and its success is where those values come from that determine those boundaries. They can't come from a single individual nor can they come from the collective whole. Our boundaries must come from something greater than ourselves. That something is God. An effective leader has an agenda designed to produce results, but is guided by a core set of values that come from outside and not from within. Perhaps it is time to apply those eternal rules of order and right to the leadership roles we have been called upon to hold. While serving the Lord, everyday activities are opportunities to demonstrate the values and beliefs, which have been placed in our care. It is in these situations that souls are won by the conversation or lifestyle of the believer. Thus, the element of servant leadership is introduced into our lives and every person becomes in some sense — a leader.

B.E. Hale, District Superintendent I constantly think about the Church of Jesus Christ and how we are definitely in the season of harvest. The technology explosion has sent to us a "tsunamis" of information that is so astronomical no one knows what to do with it all. This Information Age has isolated people, causing them to retreat into a "cyber-world" in order to cope with present day problems, but it leaves everyone with a deficit of social contact because of the high tech/little touch environment of today's electronic world. God made us to be social creatures, and in order to satisfy that need, people are looking for ways to network with other people. This is the environment in which the end-time church finds itself. This is our day for harvest! Matthew 13:39 says the time of the harvest is the end of the age (world). The process of harvest is given by Jesus: "For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear. But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately He putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come" (Mark 4:28, 29). The first thing mentioned is the blade (that comes from the earlier planting of the seed), then the ear (after the process of time), and after that the full corn in the ear (the harvest by the church). Then the sickle of judgment will come, as it is written in Revelation 14:15, and our work will be over. My vision for the Colorado District is that we stay focused on revival, on faith in God, on honoring and respecting one another as God's chosen for this hour, and on working together toward the common cause that God has given us. If we do these things, we can see the greatest revival this district has ever seen! Do you remember the principal: "One shall put a thousand to flight, and two shall put ten thousand to flight?" That speaks of the unity of purpose for the greater cause of growing God's kingdom. You can see how desperate the enemy is to divide homes, bring discord to churches, and isolate preachers into groups of discontent and disillusions. Let's lift up Jesus and make Him the central One and make His cause our very own. Every city, town, and community needs a lighthouse of truth. The Lord of the Harvest has put us on His "team" for this district. May He receive all Glory and Honor from us who are so privileged to serve in this awesome hour. Bro. Hale was elected District Superintendent in May 2006 after a two-year leave from the office. He has pastored Landmark Tabernacle in Denver the last three decades and has been married to Brenda Hale for over 35 years. They have two daughters and five grandchildren.

The 2009 Kid's Kampmeeting was a lot of fun. The services and activities were a blessing in many ways. It is awesome to see the children seeking for God, worshiping and having a great time. We are already looking forward to Kid's Kampmeeting in 2010. If you have any questions, contact Bro. Roberts or Bro. Bradley by way of email.
