THE CHURCH OF PENTECOST UK BIRMINGHAM DISTRICT ACTION PLAN FOR 2014 (incorporating the National, Area and District) THEME: ‘FANNING THE PENTECOSTAL FIRE TO IMPACT GENERATIONS’ (2 Tim. 1:5-7) District Vision The Birmingham District envisions that in the year 2014 there will be deeper experience of fulfilment as we focus on our restoration and life of righteousness through fanning the Pentecostal fire to impact generations. So, we will stress nurturing, empowerment, deepening of relationships with God and neighbour and soul winning and mentoring, until we have all grown in greater love of God and neighbour for dedicated service in God’s kingdom, community and the market place. Our Approach To achieve the vision that the saviour and master has set for us through the Executive Council and us, we intend to: 1. Help every member believe, think and feel that they are chosen vessels with the purpose of fanning the Pentecostal Fire in them so they can be capable ministers who are totally responsible in their respective services in the church, community and marketplace. 2. Intensify our pastoral care and follow-up activities at the Assemblies across the District 3. Teach and encourage members to read the bible, mediate on it and pray daily to ensure that members grow into the full stature of Christ in all aspects of their lives. Bible reading in Sunday services will be encouraged at all Assemblies 4. Increase the regularity of Holy Ghost baptism at each Assembly at least, quarterly. 5. Pursue conscientious regular evangelistic activities in the communities, institutions and the general marketplace, while exploring church planting opportunities in other towns in the West Midlands. 6. Make Altar call and acknowledge the presence of first timers and visitors at every church meeting. 7. Strengthen our Home Cell groups by re-launching the sensitisation programme. 8. Continue our weekly District Prayer Clinic at the Birmingham Prayer Centre. 9. Hold Leadership School of Excellence. 10. Bi-Monthly District All-Night Prayer Meetings in Birmingham 11. Establish a District Community Counselling Unit that is open to the general public. 12. Continue with the fund-raising towards the acquisition of church building in Birmingham. 13. Engage in holistic ministry to the communities around our churches and respond holistically to the welfare needs our members and others. 1|Page 14. Replace the chairs at St George’s and furnish the children’s Hall. 15. Acquire musical equipment for the district and to support the training of musicians and technical personnel. 16. Replace the sofas and dining set in the Mission House. 17. Hold a summer recreational activities across the district. 18. Explore opportunities for Prison Ministry in Birmingham. 19. Explore Drama and Radio Ministries. Our Targets are: 1. To work on achieving 10% increase in membership by winning at least a bi-monthly average of one soul at every Assembly. 2. To work on achieving 15% increase in tithes and offering over the present year in each Assembly. This includes the funds needed for the chairs and musical equipment. We do this through sound teaching, testimonies, prudent financial management and transparent regular feedback to the members and officers at Local and District levels. 3. To provide a congenial and user-friendly environment where membership and any visitor can experience and enjoy worship and fellowship. Issues with language, music, equipment, internal decoration and health and safety issues will be addressed.
