Waupaca is seeking a new pastor…

admin — Mon, 28 Nov 2011 22:46:20 +0000

The Morey’s are moving to Alabama this winter. After ministering in Waupaca, Wisconsin for ten years as pastor of Gateway Apostolic Church, Rev. Tom Morey, his wife Cheryl and their daughter, Hannah, will be moving to the Alabama District. Bro. Morey recently accepted an offer to transfer to a new position within the Kimberly Clark Corporation.

Pastor Morey turned in his resignation to the church on November 13th, taking effect as of January 1, 2012. The actual move date is yet to be determined. The church is currently in the process of seeking qualified candidates for the vacant pastoral position.

Pastor Morey announced to the church “For my wife and I, we see another ministry for our future in the Kingdom of God. I see new opportunities to serve the Lord as I prepare to retire from Kimberly Clark in the next few years. I would love to be in a position to help in another missions work in the Mobile, Alabama area. Fresh vision, fresh anointing, new direction to do his perfect will is what we are pursuing.”

This opportunity also puts the Morey’s much closer to their children. Their son, Tim, currently lives and works about 4 hours away in Huntsville, Alabama area and their son-in-law, Rev Ryan Vanderford, their daughter Lisa, and grandchildren, Rylee and Jacelyn, have just recently taken a church in New Hebron, Mississippi, which is about three hours from where they will be settling.

Pray that the pastoral selection process will go smoothly for the Waupaca church and that the Morey’s will arrive safely in Alabama and adjust to this big change in their lives.

Alabama – Disaster Relief

admin — Mon, 02 May 2011 20:47:34 +0000

A message from Alabama District Supt. J. Stanley Davidson

Friends,

It is still impossible to tell how hard Alabama has been hit with tornadoes and storms. We know the massive storm that plowed through Tuscaloosa and Northern Birmingham was devastating, but other areas of the state have been hit hard also. Cullman is once again reeling from natural disaster. These are not the only places. In fact, they are so numerous that we cannot mention them all here.

Reports from our pastors in these hard hit areas are not good. There is still much death and devastation being found, and there are still many people missing in these areas. Two deaths and several injuries were sustained by United Pentecostal people across the state. At this point, it appears that there is no significant damage to our church buildings, but several of our members have lost homes. The tornado that hit near Redeemed Apostolic (Pastor Matt Edmonson) in Tuscaloosa skipped over the building and there appears to be no significant damage. Of course, there is still much to be discovered. Please keep praying for our people and for the people in Alabama in general.

Rev. David Hall had surgery last evening to fuse some broken vertebra in his back. He lost his wife in the storm, which, to quote one of our area pastors, was not survivable. I have seen pictures of his home and it is indeed a miracle that anyone could survive. We really need to keep praying for him and the family in Moulton who lost their 12 year old daughter. We also have some people hospitalized from injuries.

Relief efforts are under way. Two relief groups from out of state that are either UPCI or connected with us are bringing truck loads of supplies into the state. Our Disaster Relief Coordinator is Rev. Michael Markham. Office Max has agreed to work in conjunction with us and will be supplying some relief for the area. We are hoping to reach into Tuscaloosa, Birmingham, and Cullman with these goods. We will need some manpower to help in distribution. You can reach Bro. Markham at (205) 938-0182. He is working diligently to arrange delivery of these goods at this time. A special thanks to Reach Out America from Dallas, TX, a UPCI based Relief Organization, for a quick response. We will give credit to the other sources as the information comes in.

Meanwhile, if you are aware of any area disaster that may have missed our notice, please let me know. The high volume of calls may require a return call from me, but I want to be aware of any way that we can help our brothers and sisters in time of need. There are severe power outages from Birmingham north and shortages of gasoline in some areas. These power outages are expected to last from 7 to 10 days in most areas. Please let us know if we can help in any way.

The Work Week for the Campgrounds scheduled for next week is still planned. We can use as many workers as possible, but we make the disaster relief a priority. We will take care of all essential maintenance issues and tackle the other issues based on available manpower.

Thank you for your continued prayer and support. Our Disaster Relief Fund in the District is available to help purchase items needed if necessary. Keep praying and supporting, and God will bring blessing out of the rubble of ruins.

J. Stanley Davidson
