Re: Most Recent UPCI Stats

While it might be considered great sport to bash and or trash the UPCI, what it really all should come down to is what are you doing for the Kingdom? Note the UPCI is not the Kingdom, folks in it might just be part of the Kingdom. I'd be careful that I don't inadvertently hurting His Kingdom, while trying to bring down man's.

Wise words from a non-pentecostal:

Act 5:38 And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought:
Act 5:39 But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God.

In 11 years, they lost 96 churches. As Hoovie stated above, how are the other demon's rates over the last 10-11 years? That would give us a "realistic" number.

Re: Most Recent UPCI Stats

The ratio is almost 3 ministers for every church.

Well, a church can have a senior pastor, a youth pastor, a pastor for seniors (older people), a music minister, a minister of education, and an outreach pastor.

Also, there could be a former or retired pastor of that assembly attending the church or a retired minister or missionary or two who are no longer in active ministry. Also, there can be young ministers being mentored by the pastor who may go out and preach once in a while or work with daughter works.

I could see how there could easily be more than three ministers in a church.
