LET US LEAVE THE FUTURE IN HIS HAND Rev. George K. Stephenson Convener I wish you all a Happy New Year and a Blessed future. Thank you all for your genuine love and support for the upcoming AGIFNA conferencein Chicago. May the Good Lord guide us in all our pursuit to glorify His Name. We all have concerns and worries about many things in life due to our past experiences and present situation. Some of us are concerned about our health issues, future of our children, progress about our minis-tries etc.Jesus mentioned, be not be anxious at the beginning of His ministry (Mathew 6:25-33) and also at the end of His ministry (Luke 12:22-31). Jesus used to express the feeling of gladness, sadness and madness but He never exhibits any feeling of fear. The main reason was that unwanted fear is a spirit. Jesus at the beginning of His ministry mentioned three things to overcome this worry in Mathew 6:2533. FIRST, Our God is a Good God.Jesus gave an example of feeding the birds. Israel is the largest bird’s migration nation in the world. They have no worry about the recession or drought. They have no Monday blues. They were relentless to look for its not “Its father” taking care about the goodness of our food yet it was worry free. of them. Look at the Father. The loving (Contd...

You are good and do well (Psalm 119:68) The Lord is good to all, and His mercies are over all His works. (Psalm 145:9). The eyes of all look to you, andyou give them their food in due time (Psalm 145:15). Our God is a good God. SECCONDLY, Our God is a faithful and bountiful God. He clothes the lilies. How much more He will take care of us. See the verses talking about our Gods faithfulness. “Know therefore that the Lord your God, He is God, the faithful God, who keeps His covenant and His loving kindness to a thousand generation with those who love Him and keep His commandments; (Deuteronomy 7:9)...And faithfulness the belt about His waist.(Isaiah 11:5b) The Lord’s loving kindnesses indeed never cease,for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness. (Lamen tations 3:22- 23). He has His glory upon lilies. Look at the provision of our God. “Things which eye has not seen and ear has not heard and which have not entered the heart of man, all that God has prepared for those who love him ((I Cor. 2:9). InJohn 3:16, His love, Jer. 31:3. Everlasting love, John 10:10, His Abundant life. Sing “Jehovah Jireh, My provider... all the days of our life. LASTLY, Our God (Our Father) is an all knowing God. Whatever may be our needs in 2015, He knows it. Daniel said before the king of Babylon “It is He who reveals the profound and hidden things; He knows what is in the darkness, and the light dwells with Him”. Psalmist said in Ps 139:3-4,“O Lord, You have searched me and known me.You know when I sit down and when I rise up; You understand my thought from afar. You scrutinize my path and my lying down and are intimately acquainted with all my ways. Even before there is a word on my tongue, Behold, O Lord, You know it all.” Look at the secret of success of Job he said in Job 23:10" But He knows the way I take; When He has tried me, I shall come forth as gold”. When we are in trouble, worried about things Jesus ask us to open your windows and look the birds and lilies in the valleys. Don’t act like extra donation towards AGIFNA along with your registration.

Ultimately, your participation, cooperation, contributions and prayers will determine the success of this conference. Let us work together for the glory of our Master. gentiles who have no father in Heaven. But we have a good, loving, faithful and an all knowing God. Jesus concluded His teaching by telling His listeners not to be anxious about tomorrow. We are to focus on only on the actual troubles that we face today rather than worrying over possibilities for the future. We can trust that seeking the Kingdom of Our Father we will be receiving continually His care. We freed to live in the present moment and let us leave the future in His Hand. So seek His Kingdom by allowing accomplishing His plan and purposes in our daily life. May God bless you all. ..............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................3........ ^nen∏v Zm\ntb¬ \mjW¬ sk{I´dn {]m¿∞\bpw {]h¿Ø-\hpw Hcp ]£nbpsS c≠p NndIpIƒt]mse GtIm]n∏n®v Nen®m¬ G-Xv BXvaoI {]h¿Ø\hpw h≥ hnPbambn amdpw. thZ]pkv-XIhpw Ncn{Xhpw AXmWv \tΩmSv km£n°p∂-Xv. 19 maXv AGIFNA \mjW¬ tIm¨^d≥kv AXpt]msebm-Ipsa∂v R߃ {]Xo£nbv°p∂p. tIm¨^d≥kns‚ apJy{]kw-KI\mbn dh.B-¬´¨ Kmcnk¨ (Assistant Superintendent of A.G., Springfield) IS∂phcp∂p.

Rev. Sunny Mathew National Prayer Coordinator PRAYER LINE As we enter into this New Year, the AG Conference is closer than ever before! There is a great excitement among the youths in the city of Chicago regarding this conference. Youth from various churches are actively participating in preparation for this conference. Igniting a passion for mission and evangelism (at school and university level) is one of the motivating factors for the youth side of the conference. Our goal is to set a stage for the servants of God come and place a vision in the hearts and minds of our youngsters. In the United States we live in a society where people from all over the world come to live and work. The mission field is next door to us! It is important, therefore, to prepare and equip our generation to reach this mission field. For the sport enthusiasts among us, we have already found a great venue for the various sporting events, which would be hosted during this conference. Teams from different states have already pledged to come in for the tournament. We look forward to a successful conference in the city of Chicago. No conference would be a success without prioritizing Prayer. We have an ongoing prayer-line dedicated for this cause, and youth from various states are participating in it. We urge you to pray for this conference and make it a priority to come to the beautiful city of Chicago with your family and friends. We are expecting great things from God! “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.” (Matthew 7:7). Prayer is essentially a relationship with God, and it is this relationship that is at the heart of the Christian faith. God who created all that we see around us in the universe wants you and me to be in regular touch with him. We are all praying for our upcoming conference in Chicago. Especially, we set a special time on every Sunday evening from 8 PM through 9 PM (Central Time) to pray for the coming conference and the conference needs. I am glad to see and hear that many people are joining our Prayer Line on Sunday. May God continue to bless each and every one of you. Those of who like to join our Prayer Line in the coming weeks, please dial (619) 326-2772 - Access Code 5534459# 6 ...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Pastor Willy Abraham Good Shepherd Fellowship, Chicago AGIFNA 2015 ANOTHER BLESSED CONFERENCE It is a matter of great joy that AGIFNA 19th National Conference is going to be held at Chicago in July 2015. On behalf of Good Shepherd Fellowship, I would like to extend our best regards and support for the success of this conference. I believe it is going to be a great blessing on the basis of four major facts: Location: It is according to God’s plan and purpose the conference is scheduled to be here in Chicago this year. Chicago is a beautiful and a wonderful City. Those who never came to Chicago should come and experience the natural beauty and the views. Leadership: It is an excellent team (National and Local) that is formed under the leadership of Pastor George K. Stephenson. Honoring our Senior Ministers “Remember those who rule over you, who have spoken the word of God to you, whose faith follow, considering the outcome of their conduct.” – Hebrews 13:7 Past History: In the history of Chicago all the previous conferences including PCNAK, IPC, Sharon and other get-together have been very successful. Back-up Support: There is a sense of good and efficient back up support from the local congregations and the youths of Chicago. Therefore, let us join our hearts and minds to pray and to support this event. Let us pray that God may reveal His glory through this conference that we may be able to witness a great breakthrough and revival in this land. I personally encourage everyone to stand together for the cause of the Gospel, regardless of denominational differences, considering this as an opportunity to serve God together. The flourishing growth of the Assemblies of God Churches in North America that we see now has been enabled by the tireless efforts of the servants of God who dedicated their lives for the expansion of God’s Kingdom. As we thank God for His goodness upon our fellowship over the past decades, it is important that we honor those ministers who have given their lives, finances, and energy to build our fellowship. As part of the Centennial celebrations of the establishment of the Assemblies of God movement, we are planning to honor our senior ministers who have served the Lord in North Americaat our upcoming 19thAGIFNA Conference in Chicago from July 16-19, 2015. Few guidelines have been set up for this special recognition as follows: 1. The minister should have faithfully served the Lord for at least 35 years in any capacity in India or North America. 2. The minister must have good testimony among men and our Lord. The ministers who are selected for this special recognition will be honored by Reverend L. Alton Garrison, the Assistant Superintendent of the Assemblies of God, along with other servants of God. Ministers may submit a brief introduction (maximum 10 sentences) to the National Representatives of the AGIFNA Conference or email it to agifna2015 @gmail.com before May 31, 2015. If you need more information or further details, please contact Mr. John C. Rajan at johncrajan@ gmail.com or 914-826-5209.

COME AND EXPERIENCE A LIFE CHANGING EVENT Ashish Jacob National Youth Coordinator As the days are nearing for the big event, we are excited and equally encouraged to host the AGIFNA 2015 conference in Chicago in the month of July. The preparations are already started and we believe that God is going to do greater things through our young people in the coming days and this conference will be a spark in the lives of many. A group of young men and women are tirelessly working behind the scenes to make this conference a great success. Their passion and commitment for this is really appreciated as all of them share the same vision and commitment to glorify the Lord. In this conference you will have a life changing experience, as we are committed to bring truly anointed servants of God to minister through word and worship and also this conference will witness a very different pattern of events for the small kids to young adults. We are preparing a theme based VBS for the young kids this year for 3 days which will be a totally different spiritual experience for the small kids and the team is all set for that. Our worship and sports coordinators are working to make this year’s conference a great success. This year we will be having separate sessions for married couples and to be married people one -to -one interaction with well-known Christian counselors. I want to once again welcome you to the city of Chicago in the month of July for truly a life changing four days of spiritual experience. Please connect with us through Facebook, twitter and other medias for more updates in the coming days. Pray, Plan and prepare ahead of time. Come and be blessed. Let’s glorify the name of the Lord together.
