That's great!

I have not gone that route, not yet anyway. Don't know that I will. Time will tell.

Oh, you want me to give you the place God called me to? Do you get it now? If you want to be in the pastors position, then you got to be willing to go through the hurdles, no one is going to give it to you. My dad was a home missionary, I told him that I would never become a home missionary because of the so called "hurdles". Is this really about race as much as it is about a position?

Actually I was preaching church to church for ten years before I did.We all
need confirmation sometimes.I have to say the brethren stood with me and
were awesome.

Brother I seek not position but only what God has called me to.
I don't want anything given to me.
All I seek is help.
I have helped, supported, and was a member of 3 home mission works.
I know very well what is involved.
The "hurdles" are not God made obviously but man made.

Interesting thread, seems to be more related to vocation than divine calling....

BTW may I ask ,without the fear of being excummunicated why the touchinesss brother? I responded in jest to your jest and then you went south on me, why? Did i speak out of turn or place?

Being totally honest you must admit having dad as a pastor did nothing but help you and I am sure there were little to no hurdles involved in your "calling".

Chosen I did not have a dad or anyone in the church and God has helped me.Being of the female persuasion I could say alot of things.We are a minority in the pentecostal ministry.I have never looked at anything that has happened to me but a learning process and a way God used to keep my attitude right.

Chosen I have to disagree w/ you ... although in many areas there is a lot to be desired on how the UPCI is handling the multi-cultural ministries in the fellowship and the approach used w/ Spanish ministries ... however the fasting growing segment in the UPCI is Spanish ministries. As a person who was actively involved in the promotions area of SEM ... I can tell you that there is great revival in the UPCI when it comes to Spanish ministries ... Very soon Spanish ministers will make up 10% of the fellowship's constituency.

I've seen explosive growth since my childhood in Spanish Ministries within the UPCI ... when my dad took pastorship of one of the first Spanish UPCI churches...

Your problem is more regional/local than national.
