United Progressive Pentecostal Church Holy Convocation 2014
Date: 7:30 p.m. June 17
Description: Now Holy Convocation 2014 and National Economic Conference June 17-21 | Atlanta, GA The United Progressive Pentecostal Church is a network of leaders, Pastors, Churches and Para-Church ministries united in the mission of Jesus Christ to spread the Gospel to all people. To date the Uppc has affirmed and welcomed a host of clergy and ministries within it's global family. Membership in the Uppc reflects a diverse group of churches and leadersengaging in a wide variety of ministry forms and methods. What's common is our commitment to Jesus Christ as Savior of the world, love for all people, passion for Pentecostal power, inclusive evangelism and our pioneering spirit. This pioneering spirit is reflected in church leaders willing to take appropriate Kingdom risks for Christ's sake. The results are prevailing churches where renewal and revitalization happen. We have begun to see evidence that God is changing the tide of ministry and clearly affirming the pioneering efforts of leaders and Churches who believe that full Gospel of Jesus Christ must be preached to All people in the world. We believe strongly that the Church — because it stewards the life-changing message of Jesus Christ — is the hope of the world. Our prayer is that those who hear this special call from God would consider linking arms with us and helping change the world — one life at a time. As a Christian community, we seek to be vibrant servants of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, by providing a sanctuary where one may be edified through the living Word of God, and to remain inclusive and unified in the love of Christ while supporting all who seek everlasting life through God's grace.

When you save and invest a portion of your income, you will begin to reap the benefits of money at work. 3. Eliminate debt in a systematic way that allows wealth to be created. 4. Earn interest ...don't pay it. Put your credit cards away, except for emergencies, and reduce your installment debt to zero. This will help you begin to pay yourself rather that your creditors. 5.
