Introduction<br />
outlined above, we are challenged to accomplish the following by<br />
the year 2020:<br />
500,000 members in the United States.<br />
5.5 million members overseas.<br />
1,000 new churches planted in the U.S.A.<br />
Ethnic congregations doubled in the U.S.A.<br />
80 percent of all existing churches moved to an annual<br />
growth mode.<br />
Our presence increased from 103 to 150 countries<br />
worldwide.<br />
We are committed to the mission of apostles, prophets,<br />
evangelists, pastors, and teachers in the church today and seek to<br />
minister in the power of these God-given anointings. Our<br />
denominational ministry must be relevant, dynamic, and<br />
demonstrative. We must be relevant in that we understand the<br />
culture of our society and how to relate to it with all the technology<br />
available to us today. We must be dynamic in that we seek to<br />
impact and change our communities and cities in meaningful<br />
ways, rather than just carry out a schedule of church services<br />
weekly. We must be demonstrative in that we are filled with the<br />
Holy Spirit and allow Him to work miraculously through us to<br />
accomplish these otherwise impossible goals.<br />
This is a kairos moment for the <strong>IPHC</strong> because God has<br />
chosen to use an old, classical Pentecostal denomination to<br />
demonstrate to the world the new thing He is doing in our<br />
generation. We know that “eye hath not seen, nor ear heard,<br />
neither hath it entered into the heart of man” what God has yet to<br />
reveal through His unfolding destiny for the International<br />
Pentecostal Holiness <strong>Church</strong>.<br />
