However a full blown organization is in the works with it's own Bible Quizzing program, youth ministries, Foreign and Home missions...
... and notice that they've chosen the nomenclature that I would have chosen - instead of calling brethren outside of North America "foreign", they're in "World Missions" territory.
Anyway, whenever they approach a UPC'er to "fellowship," they are quite obviously intent upon growing their own org. That's prosyletizing.

And I know of one minister who was proselytized and specifically asked not to tell his direct leadership about the conversation.... why the intrigue and "hush-hush" if it's all on the up and up????
