Earlier this month, EVUSA hosted what was dubbed the “EVUSA Leadership Gathering,” in Oklahoma City. Conference Bishops, Evangelism Directors and other IPHC leaders from all over the nation were invited to participate. It was the first major opportunity of the year to let the American church hear from EVUSA and for vision for the next few years to be cast! One part of what was shared actually turned out be a bit of a secret.<\/p>\n
You want to know what it is?<\/p>\n
Oooo, I was hoping so!<\/p>\n
Read carefully and don’t miss it:<\/p>\n
We value the harvest!<\/strong><\/p>\n Quick! Grab your IPHC Manual, if you have one, and turn to page 11, or<\/em> you can click here<\/a>\u00a0to see that this year’s core value emphasis for the IPHC is, “We Prayerfully Value All Generations.”<\/p>\n Now, you may be thinking, “whoa there, Skippy, what happened to the harvest?”<\/p>\n Glad you asked!<\/p>\n In EVUSA (and as believers) it’s our responsibility to value the harvest, to value souls, to value life, to value Jesus’ commission to us (Matt. 28:19). How? Well, a surefire way is to Value All Generations. You can’t separate the harvest from people, you can’t separate a person’s soul from eternity, you can’t separate life from the One who has given it to us, and you can’t separate your great-great-grandma or my cousin who’s in the 3rd grade, from the Truth of God.<\/p>\n Check out these verses:<\/p>\n Genesis 2:4<\/p>\n Genesis 17:7<\/p>\n Psalm 100:5<\/p>\n Psalm 33:11<\/p>\n John 3<\/p>\n Read and comprehend.<\/p>\n You can’t separate the God of Adam, from the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. You can’t separate the God that David praised from the God that sent His Son to die for me, for you, and for us! He created the very first generation all those years ago and He has created, uniquely and in His image, every generation since. In fact, He saw it fit to give us the responsibility of spreading His Word, to speak the Good News, to be His witnesses to everyone we know; from generation to generation.\u00a0<\/em>It started back then and continues, now!<\/p>\n Do you see what’s been going on, here?<\/p>\n God Values All Generations, even since the beginning. He loves All Generations<\/em>!<\/p>\n Why?<\/p>\n Because He loves people, His people, His Harvest!<\/p>\n WE MUST<\/u>, TOO!<\/strong><\/p>\n Hey, the secret’s out! We\u00a0will<\/strong>\u00a0Value All Generations as we continue to value the Harvest. There’s no other option! Bishop Garry Bryant said in an interview, “the focus…for us, will be without contradiction or hesitation, the harvest!”<\/p>\n Don’t<\/em> keep it to yourself!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n written by: Garryt Bryant<\/p>\n photo: Steffan Light<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Earlier this month, EVUSA hosted what was dubbed the “EVUSA Leadership Gathering,” in Oklahoma City.

Se invit\u00f3 a los Obispos de Conferencia, Directores de Evangelismo y otros l\u00edderes de IPHC de todo el pa\u00eds a participar. \u00a1Fue la primera gran oportunidad del a\u00f1o para dejar que la iglesia estadounidense escuche de EVUSA y para que se proyecte la visi\u00f3n para los pr\u00f3ximos a\u00f1os! Una parte de lo que se comparti\u00f3 realmente result\u00f3 ser un poco secreto. \u00bfQuieres saber de qu\u00e9 se trata? Oooo, \u00a1estaba esperando eso! Lea atentamente y no se lo pierda: \u00a1valoramos la cosecha!<\/strong> \u00a1R\u00e1pido! Tome su Manual de IPHC, si tiene uno, y vaya a la p\u00e1gina 11, o<\/em> puede hacer clic aqu\u00ed<\/a> para ver que el \u00e9nfasis del valor central de este a\u00f1o para la IPHC es: \"Valoramos con oraci\u00f3n a todas las generaciones\". Ahora, puedes estar pensando, \"Whoa, Skippy, \u00bfqu\u00e9 pas\u00f3 con la cosecha?\" \u00a1Me alegra que me lo hayas pedido En EVUSA (y como creyentes) es nuestra responsabilidad valorar la cosecha, valorar las almas, valorar la vida, valorar la comisi\u00f3n de Jes\u00fas (Mateo 28:19). \u00bfC\u00f3mo? Bueno, una forma segura es valorar todas las generaciones. No se puede separar la cosecha de las personas, no se puede separar el alma de una persona de la eternidad, no se puede separar la vida de Aquel que nos la ha dado, y no se puede separar a su tatara-tatara-abuela o mi primo que est\u00e1 en tercer grado, de la Verdad de Dios. Mira estos vers\u00edculos: G\u00e9nesis 2: 4 G\u00e9nesis 17: 7 Salmo 100: 5 Salmo 33:11 Juan 3 Lee y comprende. No puedes separar al Dios de Ad\u00e1n, del Dios de Abraham, Isaac y Jacob. \u00a1No puedes separar al Dios que David elogi\u00f3 del Dios que envi\u00f3 a su Hijo a morir por m\u00ed, por ti y por nosotros! \u00c9l cre\u00f3 la primera generaci\u00f3n todos esos a\u00f1os atr\u00e1s y ha creado, de manera \u00fanica y a su imagen, cada generaci\u00f3n desde entonces. De hecho, \u00e9l vio que era apropiado darnos la responsabilidad de difundir Su Palabra, hablar las Buenas Nuevas, ser Sus testigos ante todos los que conocemos; de generacion a generacion.<\/em> Comenz\u00f3 en ese entonces y contin\u00faa, \u00a1ahora! \u00bfVes lo que ha estado sucediendo aqu\u00ed? Dios valora a todas las generaciones, incluso desde el principio. \u00a1\u00c9l ama a todas las generaciones<\/em> ! \u00bfPor qu\u00e9? \u00a1Porque \u00c9l ama a las personas, a Su pueblo, a Su cosecha! Debemos,<\/u> tambi\u00e9n!<\/strong> Oye, el secreto est\u00e1 afuera! Se<\/strong> valorar\u00e1 todas las generaciones a medida que seguimos para valorar la cosecha. No hay otra opci\u00f3n! \"El enfoque ... para nosotros, ser\u00e1 sin contradicci\u00f3n o vacilaci\u00f3n, la cosecha!\" -Bishop Garry Bryant \u00a1 No te lo<\/em> guardes! escrito por: Garryt Bryant foto: Steffan Light","author_name":"","jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/evangelism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/01\/Generations-Image-January.jpg","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/sbhxDC-all","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/evangelism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/850","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/evangelism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/evangelism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/evangelism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/18"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/evangelism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=850"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/evangelism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/850\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/evangelism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/911"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/evangelism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=850"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/evangelism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=850"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/evangelism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=850"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
