Brittany Uzzle
I have been raised in the truth all my life and I love serving the Lord. I don't guess I'm a very talkative person, but my words often flow better with a pen! I have felt for a while that writing is something I am meant to do and I sincerely hope to improve and follow that leading. I may not be very old, but I have been through tests and trials. However, I learned and grew stronger from every storm and am now grateful I went through them. No matter what you face, God is always there for you!

Danielle Hollinger
I have been interested in writing for several years now but I have struggled with what avenue to pursue. I put it in the Lord's hands and have been waiting for HIS inspiration. For the past six months the devil has been attacking my family like he never has before. I saw this writing option and it just clicked. I felt like God said that it is time to share, others are going through what you have been-they need hear your voice. I pray for God's annointing, that I may be a blessing to others.

Fred C. Worm
Fred the worm is just an "internet character" trying to convey kid's ministry and a love for children through the eyes of a young worm. .Kids view their world differently than adults and I guess worms do too—.lol. When I was a youngster I used to put worms in my pocket to play with later— I forgot about them—..oh well. If Fred the worm can capture a child's attention or get a chuckle from an adult—well Fred's face is happy. Thirty five or so years ago Jeff Arnold had Freddy the Frog Many personalities have been portrayed by Puppets of animals Animals can tell stories; God used a donkey to talk. I think on the internet a worm fits.....well sort of...LOL And I am a man having more fun than a man should! God is Great and Kids R Cool Fred the Worm Page Maintained by: Roy Elledge, Assistant Pastor since 1995 I have a patient pastor, Pastor Bart Loyd UPC Vienna, Illinois Shawnee National Forest I used to be my Pastors Youth Pastor in early 80's Fred the worm needed help to type. Besides he gets the keyboard all slimy with worm tracks. Bill Gates would have a fit.
Fred Parker
Pastor Parker felt is call to the ministry in 1974 during a revival in rural community of Laughlin, Arkansas. After several years of intense training he began pastoring in 1980. Pastor Parker married Rebecca Sue in 1971. They have a daughter Mitze and son-in-law Scott who have given them their first grandchild Kaylee. Their son Dustin Sean Parker was brutally murdered in 1998. They still miss his cheerful smile and laughter each day. Reverend and Mrs. Parker came to serve as the pastor of the First Apostolic Church in May of 1995. Since coming to Pelahatchie we have seen the Lord perform many miracles including over 100 people receiving the "New Birth" experience. Pastor and Mrs. Parker have been used mightily in impacting our community and sharing the message of repentance, baptism by immersion in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sin, and the infilling of the Holy Spirit. (See Acts 2:38; John 3:1-10) Pastor Parker is an ordained minister with the United Pentecostal Church International and currently serves as the Home Missions Secretary for the Mississippi District of the United Pentecostal Church International. He has served his community as the Chaplain of the Police Department in Pelahatchie, Mississippi for the past four years. Pastor and Mrs. Parker are both singers and musicians. He is the author of many published articles as well as the coauthor of the new book "2nd Chance" which is being used in the Juvenile Court Systems of both Mississippi and Alabama. This book is being widely accepted in developing positive character attributes in juveniles in Australia and Russia and across the United States as well.
Gary Madden
From the time we were teenagers, Donna and I felt the call to ministry and that brought us together. The years took us a few places — South Dakota to begin a new church, evangelizing, pastoring in North Carolina, another new church in Clear Lake City, TX, pastoring in Louisiana, then again in the Houston area. Having been full of health, energy and vision, in 2007 everything changed as I was forced to a wheelchair and Donna battled a serious heart problem. October of '07 we resigned from 34 years of pastoring. The Spirit is still strong and we know that ministry is not over. Returning to our home church, Life Tabernacle, we found strength and security and are beginning to be involved in ministry there. Primarily, our focus has been on the internet where we have established Net Global Ministries to minister around the globe.

Ginger R
Spiritually, I will be 4 years old on September 17th 2009. I compare myself with the Isrealites that wandered the desert for 40 years since I was about 40 before God saved me. He was my "long lost friend" and there is so much that I want to learn and so much I want to share. I pray that God can use me to feed others just as he uses and sends so many people to "feed me". I want to write, think, speak and breathe anything that will win souls for the kingdom of God.

Hope Cross
Most importantly - my life is centered around living for God! Jesus has done so much for me - I simply cannot give an account of every blessing in my life! There are many that don't believe in God - but if you had seen and experienced what I have in my life - there is no way to deny Him! I love my life! I really couldn't ask for one better. I believe in being thankful for the blessings and for the trials - something can be learned in every one of life's situations! In my career I have many opportunities to learn something - I currently teach at-risk youth at the Department of Juvenile Justice. It is amazing. My passion in life is to impact the lives of young people - to be an example and a motivation to them.

Janae Stanford
Seeing My Future Back in my childhood I have seen my parents being a pastor and wife in the Brighton church. All my life I have been through so many things. One thing I have been asked, "what would I do in the ministry," from friends and my youth pastor and others ministers from other churches. They would tell me you should be a pastor's wife and I would tell them no I could not. Then they would ask me why and I will tell them why? and also I would ask my friends the same thing and they would tell me why too. One thing that caught my attention was seeing my youth pastor and the other youth pastor from other churches I have went to. All the time we would have church service, be at the church having fun, going to youth events. There are so many things to pick from in the church ministry. Like being a choir director, a pastor, youth pastor, and others you can do. But for one thing, I can see in my life is having a boyfriend and date a long time, then get engaged and get married. After getting married and have a wonderful family loving God and being raised in church and doing the same for their kids. For one thing, I know that God knows where my life will go and how my life will end up. From my parents and their parents from the kids and their kids. And when I see my husband and my own family have done the same that our parents done in their lives serving and loving and talking about His word. That is all I can see and say about my future and still thanking God for what He has done for us. Loving God is the best thing you have in your life and do to go pray for people and reach out to them. Bringing them to church to learn about God. That is who we are today, apostolic's tongue talking in Jesus name.

The Lord pulled me out of a terrible pit when I was 26 years old. I fell at an apostolic alter and received the holy ghost.

Sharon Hebert
Praise the Lord! I am a 43 year old first generation apostolic pentecostal preachers wife who was called to intercede & travail for many souls who are lost just as I was. Being delivered along with my husband from many addictions such as alcohol, speed, nicotine & the lifestyle of sin that goes along with all of those things. . . I am a walking testimony of what the power & the grace of God can do. It wasnt until I had reached the age of 27 years old when I began to feel the drawing power of God. You see the mercy of God had let me sink all the way to the very bottom where the only option I had left was to reach up to "HIM!" I am so thankful that Jesus knows how to let us become so miserable that "HE" is our only option. Now I pray & travel with my husband who is a full time evangelist with the United Pentecostal Church International. I have been priviledged to not only witness, but also be a part of many souls receiving the revelation of Jesus Name Baptism & the delivering & liberating power of the Holy Ghost in their lives. Praise His Holy Name!
Shayna Buchan
My 21 year old heart already bears the scars of great hurt. Losing my sister in a car accident, left my young mind reeling. Yet, even through the heartache of regret, the unanswered questions, and the guilt; my Lord has seen me through. I will bless the Lord at all times and His praise shall continually be in my mouth! He is faithful and just.

Stephanie Hardesty (Steffanie H. Russ)
I love to write short devotionals that God reveals to me through everyday life and situations, through children and animals, or through nature itself. God speaks to us daily and I want to put the wonderful things He brings to my mind on paper to share with others. It might be something quite common; however, sometimes God reveals a lesson to me in a totally unique way.
Steven Adams
I'm a 26-year-old, Oneness Pentecostal, workaholic, old-fashioned, bass-playing, open-minded humanitarian. After leaving the church I was raised in in 2001, then leaving God completely in 2004, I came back to Jesus. I was randomly visiting home when God decided to try one last time to break through the wall I had built up around my heart. Despite running away from him for years, and even considering myself a borderline atheist, he broke through. That was Thursday, Sept. 18. On Sunday, Sept. 21 I repented of my sins and was refilled with the Holy Ghost.
Steven Lewis
I was born and raised in Topeka, KS and lived in a somewhat Christian home...if there is such a thing. When I received the Holy Ghost in 2007 God catapulted me into a life that I never dreamed I'd have.

I'm 22, the eldest of three brothers, and I love and live the Apostolic faith. I'm also a family man. Family is indispensable, and besides God is the very innermost core of my heart. I enjoy exercising and learning, and I love to write. This year I graduate with my B.A. from Cal State Long Beach in English Literature and Creative Writing. I love living in Southern California, and am convinced that the followers of the Apostolic message are going to take over the world. But we've got work to do.

I hope you enjoy every writing and pray that it touches you like it has me.

Trisha Jones
I came to know the Lord in the fullness of truth in 1998. I can remember the exact outfit I had on when I was filled with the Holy Ghost. (What ever happened to that outfit?) At 18 years old, I was still so young and had just enough of a child's curiosity to really seek out the truth about the Lord. And I'm so thankful that I did. I'll be 30 this year and I know I wouldn't have made it this far if it weren't for Him.
