Don't put a question mark where God puts a period.
~~~~~
God grades on the cross, not on the curve.
~~~~~
When praying, don't give God instructions-just report for duty.
~~~~~
God doesn't want shares of your life-he wants a controlling interest.
~~~~~
We don't change God's message-His message changes us. |

New General Superintendent of UPCI
St Louis - October 5, 2009. 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.

World Network of Prayer
30 Days of Prayer begins in early January and the new 2010 prayer guides are already available. Day 28 has been designated as a day in which we all jot the names of five people who need God and some perhaps at one time worshiped with us.
Save the date! February 21, 2010 will be a special date and has been designated as COME HOME DAY by Global Impact. We will be focusing upon those men and women and youth who for various reasons have fallen away from the church. With no questions asked, we want them to know that we love them and pray for them. Of course, we also miss them. Paul warned all of us in I Corinthians 10:12 "Wherefore let him that thinks he stands, take heed, lest he fall." How easily that could happen to any one of us without the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ.
It would be great if we began now by writing down five names of those we would hope have worship with us on February 21, 2010---COME HOME DAY.
