This conference is a bit like that classic saying about personal responsibility, “If you want to feed a man for a day, give him a fish. If you want to feed him for a lifetime, teach him how to fish.” The General Youth Division of the United Pentecostal Church International instead states, “We could feed souls for a week by preaching at youth “events,” but instead we’ll feed youth for a lifetime by teaching their leaders to minister more efficiently.” With a gamut of six teaching sessions, three preaching services, two specific idea blocks, and a sprinkling of skits and crowd breakers, that’s what happened from August 3-5 at the Dallas/Fort Worth Airport Marriott South.

(Dateline: Tuxtla Gutierrrez, Mexico)  Last Saturday we were invited to meet the family of Sister Isabel Ordoñez, the friends of a Sister Maria de la Luz Zuñiga from California. Isabel has been baptized and filled with the Holy Ghost and we made initial contact with the intent of beginning church services with them in her home.

“Cry out and shout, thou inhabitant of Zion: for great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee.”  Isaiah 12:6

The tremendous blast of the ram’s horn called all to worship and with a great shout of praise and victory, “The Summons to Sacrifice 2000” had begun once again.
