Bro. Michael Parrett closed out the month by preaching his first full sermon at the United Pentecostals in Platte City. Bro. Michael will be in rotation with me to preach at least once a month to gain pulpit experience as he obtains his local ministerial license with United Pentecostal Church International. We are proud of his desire to be a minister of the gospel in a Oneness, Holiness, Apostolic organization!
Sis Sherii and I appreciate all that Bro. Michael and his wife, Sis. Mae Parrett do for United Pentecostals in Platte City.
From Michael filling in for me during my surgery, to both thier help with worship, for being supportive of our vision, by Mae leading our Youth Ministry with the help of Nolan Sartain...we are blessed to have them! We appreciate also thier prayers and countless other things they do with and for us. Their help is immeasurable and we ask God to bless them in ways we cannot!
I can say that this is true, too, of our children Tera Johnson and her husband Casey, Amber Jett and her husband David, all their children and all of our members. I have seen an abundance of willingness to help us out in every aspect from every member. I am overwhelmed by the excellent support and involvement from all!!
On the first Sunday in Feb., 2012, we had our second resident of Platte City to come and be our guest! The first came the week before and returned with his wife!
In Outreach this past week, we selected a neighborhood to pass out flyers. With 12 adults and 9 children, we were able to finish our goal in less than 30 minutes! Our entire church is taught that they are involved in both Outreach and in Prayer/Fasting ministry. We were excited for this turnout of committed members who have a vision to win the lost souls in our city!
We know the Lord will bless the efforts we all give continually for this mission.
February is known as the time for Valentines...and love. The MO District scheduled RENEW,a couples retreat, on Feb. 9-11. If you are not able to be at the RENEW marriage retreat, it is still worth the investment to commit to renew a spark with your own mate this month. Find some time to go on a date, or do something together you enjoy. Appreciate one another and do special things for one another.
Scripture says, Husbands love your wives as Christ loveth the church. This is read as a command. I want to take this opportunity to say that, for me, this is one of the easiest commands from Jesus that I obey! It is EASY to love my wife!
Expect YOUR Miracle! Receive Victory! Overcome Sin! Give Jesus all the PRAISE!

Our church is entering a new dimension. We feel an added surge of His Spirit. We see the Vision the Lord has cast on us for great revival in all Holy Ghost filled churches. Bro. Jason Sciscoe prophesied over our district during Vision Conference this weekend.
Personally, the Lord spoke to me about His plans for our work in Platte City, MO. We came away refreshed, but, knowing there is a battle to be won. We are in it. We are going to win it!
Our church began a committed daily fast today. We expect great things! Thank you to those who quickly signed up without prodding. This willingness in the body will meet its reward. The Lord Bless you and keep you.
We have a great church because we serve a GREAT GOD!

Our first Sunday service of the New Year, 2012 has come and gone. We were pleased to have Bro. Arthur Shilts come and speak to the congregation in Platte City, MO. Obedient to the voice of God, he shared a message that God wanted us to hear. HELL was NOT made for US! (But, if we are not right with God according to the Bible, then we will end up there).
I believe God wants us to proclaim to all whom will hear...that it is not His desire that any should perish, but, that all should come to REPENTANCE. Thank you, Bro. Shilts, for not being afraid to speak what God asked you to speak.
With the beginning of the New Year, we need to make sure that our tithing is not just financially, but, that we consider all our resources...time, energy, talents, and give the first fruits to Jesus in 2012.
I have committed to work on a project for prophecies in the news. The more I research, the more I read the Bible, the more I believe, it is TIME FOR JESUS!

2011 has quickly come and gone. A lot was accomplished
We saw the enemy try to attack with a report of cancer. The Lord changed the report to say Gil Leach is healed! We saw loved ones restored in their faith and develop deeper commitments to the Lord Jesus Christ! There were several Going Home celebrations for several great giants of Pentecost. Most dear to my heart, we were approved by the United Pentecostal Church International to begin a North American Missions work in Platte City, MO!
The Lord has sent willing vessels to our side who have been a constant source of strength and support, financially and spiritually. We averaged 25 in attendance with 34 first time guests in 7 weeks. We had one baptized in Jesus name.
We had the support of many area ministers who have helped us in so many ways. We could not succeed without them and the hand of the Lord. We have had many prayers from many people who let us know continually oftheir prayers for this first United Pentecostal Church ever established in the City of Platte City.
It is TIME FOR JESUS IN PLATTE CITY,MO!
2012 has us looking forard with great expectancy of a mighty move of the Holy Ghost throughout the whole world! We rejoice with every person who obeys Acts 2:38! The first day of the New Year two were baptized in Jesus name, one of whom received the Holy Ghost! This took place at the Refuge Church in Liberty, MO at a special CELEBRATION SERVICE with Pastor Gary Dornbach.
We give JESUS all the glory and all the praise for all that has and WILL DO! United Pentecostals in Platte City rejoice!

Pastor's Communique
The NEW YEAR is generally a time for a Pastor to look back and reflect on the year. I only have a couple of months to reflect on as being a Pastor of a new church plant. But, as I look back...I am amazed by what God can do in a short amount of time.
Sherii and I are blessed by family members and grandchildren who are supportive and involved. We are overwhelmed with gratitude for their energy, spiritual backing of prayers, tithes and offerings. Added to this, are many other people God has brought into our lives who have joined as members with us and they are the exact same way. God is giving us a firm foundation of church goers to help build His church!
The greatest thing we all have in common is a zeal to win souls. Our motto has been, "Each one, Reach one." Every one of us realize as we walk out the door of every church service, we enter a mission field.
Our New Year's Eve Service will be a time of looking forward with a continued passion to see with the eyes of the Spirit of God and recognize everyone's need for JESUS!
He is the center of our joy!
I would like to take the time to personally thank the NORTH AMERICAN MISSION, every person who contributes to Christmas for Christ,every person who has prayed for UNITED PENTECOSTALS IN PLATTE CITY, every person who believed in me, every person who supported us in any way, whether financially, spiritually, through membership, or all of the above...I THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. There would not be a UPINPC without YOU!!
With great expectancy, we approach 2012! We can't help but anticipate what Jesus Christ holds for the future.
I love United Pentecostals in Platte City!

What an Awesome presence of God at UP in PC, today! Today was our Christmas program with an all kids cast. We had Gabriel, Mary with baby Jesus, Joseph, three other angels, a Shepherd, two little lambs,and a wise man all there to tell us “What Jesus really wanted for Christmas." The answer was seen in a mirror. What he wants is US.
Then Amber and Mae did a great job bring all to tears signing “Here I am”.
Bro. Michael Parrett gave his first sermonette on the topic of Christmas. He started with laughter and took us to tears while challenging us to not save the Christmas cheer for only once a year.
To all of you that helped prepare and make it all happen, I say, "GREAT JOB!" We had 40 in attendance with 12 first time guests today! What a GREAT AND AWESSOME GOD WE SERVE! Thank you Jesus for all you have done and all you are going to do in Platte City, Mo.
We are also very much looking forward to having Rev. Arthur Shilts on January 8th.
See you at the Christmas Banquet on Tue.
Pastor Parrett
