IPHC Churches Experience Growth
|

As the International Pentecostal Holiness Church (IPHC) seeks to accomplish the goals of
Arise 2033, churches are catching the vision, implementing new strategies, experiencing growth, and impacting their communities.
Pastor Navil Vaughan in Westville, Oklahoma, grew up as a pastor's kid in the Westville P.H. Church and assumed the pastorate in 2008. Although regular attendance hovered around 140 in a town of 1,500, he felt God wanted to do something more.
When the church celebrated its centennial in 2016, it received a prophetic word about changing its name. After much prayer, the congregation took the bold move to rename the 100-year-old church to Westville Impact Church. According to Pastor Vaughan, the new name helped bring a renewed focus and identity to the church.
During this time, the church also began to experience a powerful move of God. A wife of one of the church leaders received instantaneous healing from a rare, life-threatening disease.
This powerful testimony catapulted the church into a revival with miraculous healings and transformed lives. Another young lady received salvation and deliverance from drug addiction. She is now leading Hope for Today, a support group for people who are recovering from addiction.
With a rekindled passion, the church began to embrace its new identity and impact its community which sits in one of the poorest counties in the state. Whether through providing meals for local school children in the summer or cleaning city streets, the church is constantly looking for ways to share Christ's love. As Pastor Vaughan puts it, "When we lift Him up, He draws people."

Simon T. Bailey's presentation was part of the celebration of Presiding Bishop Charles E. Blake, Sr. and First Lady Mae L. Blake's 50th Anniversary in ministry, which West Angeles is celebrating all year long.
Bailey's dynamic presentation titled "It's Time For A Shift" focused on Jeremiah 29:11. Said the former Disney executive, "When you begin to pay attention to what God wants to do in you, it causes a shift to come about."
"I've been praying and asking God what I am to share with West Angeles, and the Lord dropped in my spirit, 'It is time for your shift... 'S.H.I.F.T.' stands for: 'See How I Fit Tomorrow Today.'"
"I've been praying and asking God what I am to share with West Angeles, and the Lord dropped in my spirit, 'It is time for your shift... 'S.H.I.F.T.' stands for: 'See How I Fit Tomorrow Today.'"
