Members Focus on Evangelism for G.O.D.GlobalOutreachDay
Our members are promoting Global Outreach Day (G.O.D.) through their web sites, email blasts and social media. Global Outreach Day is on the last Saturday of May and devoted to encouraging believers to share their faith. Ninety-three percent of church members never share the gospel.

DeWayne Hamby, Director of Communications for Church of God of Prophecy said that three pages were devoted to Global Outreach Day in the May issue of the White Wing Messenger magazine.

President Randall Bach of Open Bible Churches sent an email blast to the pastors announcing that Open Bible was participating in G.O.D. Bach opened the email blast with a short note and video about GOD followed by a series of questions and answers about evangelism.

International Pentecostal Holiness Churches sent an email blast announcing its participation for the month of May and created a web page. Demetrius Miles, director of Administration for ACTS2DAY Ministries explains, "The IPHC will extend this emphasis throughout the entire month of May, allowing our conferences and churches the opportunity to capitalize on schedules that work best for them. We are appealing to our conferences and local churches to assist us by encouraging their constituents to engage in this incredible opportunity!"

Back to the Altar: Returning to the Place of Divine Encounters
By Samuel Rodriguez
Growing up in a Pentecostal church shaped my spiritual journey from an early age.

It was a colorful world where the music was distinct, the preaching was passionate, and the testimonies sincere. But there was one thing in our church that stands out above all other memories of my spiritual upbringing: the altar. Every service began and ended at this special place. 


So many of our personal encounters with Jesus and the power of the Spirit occurred at the altar. We came to Christ there, we were baptized in water there, we were called to ministry there, and we received the baptism in the Holy Spirit there. Some of us even got married at an altar.

In 1985 I was a bi-vocational pastor (leading a house church with three other leaders) and my 'tent making' was banking. From 2007 to 2014 I served as National Director for Alpha USA.

2) What's your advice to someone starting out in the ministry and in your field?  
Let everything flow from your time with God.  Be a person of great prayer and be bold at the throne of grace, asking for all you need to do His will.

Testimony From Miracle Invasionmiracleinvasion 
On April 15, 2018, PCCNA President Jeff Farmer was asked to preach at Celebration Center, Puyallup, WA.  His sermon title was "The God Who Answers by Fire."  

During the message he shared two testimonies from the new PCCNA book,  Miracle Invasion, and at the conclusion of the service invited people forward to receive a miracle of their own.  

Sue, a middle-aged lady in the congregation had a frozen shoulder: s he had been unable to lift her arm above shoulder height for well over a year.   It was painful and restricted her mobility on the job.  Three separate medical professionals had attempted to free her arm.  During the altar prayer time Sue was praying for other people, and without thinking raised both her arms to praise the Lord.  In an instant her shoulder was set free.  

"Oh my goodness, what just happened?"  Testing to see if it was really true, she started waving her arm up, then down, then side ways, then repeated it all over again.  Reflecting after the healing, Sue said, "Everyone seated around me must have thought I looked like a wind mill.  I just kept wildly waving my arm about." President Farmer has checked with Sue each weekend following the instant and unexpected miracle.  Her arm is still FREE!
