We have done it again! Not by ourselves but by the overwhelming power and grace of Almighty God. This, our 10th annual
convention was only attainable through hard work and faith in God. As David rightfully said, I will lift up mine eyes to the hills
from whence cometh my help, my help cometh from the Lord the maker of heaven and earth. I promise you that the Holy Ghost
will work great miracles in your life throughout this convention, once you trust our theme, “the Holy Ghost power is available to
all believers” (St. Luke 24:49).

The Holy Ghost power was very evident within our church this year, allowing us to record numerous achievements. Our greatest
accomplishment was the baptism of numerous persons for God’s Kingdom to continue His work here on earth. We also constructed a
pool at the church which will make it more convenient for our baptisms. Our journey has brought us from a “store front” church in
Brooklyn New York in 1992 to seven other ministries across the world. Our latest acquisition is a new IFCFC church located in May Pen
Jamaica. The church was purchased in June 2009 with the help of God, as we work to expand our ministry to the four corners of the
earth. We have also been very successful in spreading the gospel via the radio and internet. We have come this far by faith and the
guidance of the Holy Ghost, but you must believe in the Holy Ghost to receive your breakthrough.

When the apostle Paul met the twelve believers in Ephesus (Acts 19:2), he asked them a question: "Did you receive the Holy
Spirit...?" They answered, "No, we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit." Paul prayed together with them and "the Holy
Spirit came upon them and they spoke with tongues and prophesied." The same thing happened to the 120 people waiting on
God's promise of His Holy Spirit in Jerusalem on the day we now call Pentecost. They also spoke with tongues and prophesied.
(Acts 1,2) All this was spoken about by Jesus and should have been expected since Jesus was said to be the one who would
baptize in the Holy Spirit and fire.

WHAT IS THE BAPTISM IN THE HOLY SPIRIT?

Jesus said that we would "receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you" in Acts 1:8. Power to live holy lives, power to
witness, power to pray, to understand scripture, to minister, and to lay our lives down. (Acts 9:17-20; John 16:14; Luke 24:24;
Romans 8:26). The Holy Spirit is to be received by all believers so that they can receive, with the power, certain "gifts" from
God. Gifts of healing, power wisdom, power faith, power knowledge, power miracles, and power to speak the truth of God. In
other words, the Holy Spirit is to be received to receive power to be the active "body of Christ" ministering in the earth today.
The Apostle Paul said for us to "earnestly desire spiritual gifts" (1Corinthians 12:31; 14:1)

WHAT IS THE BAPTISM IN THE HOLY SPIRIT FOR?

Jesus said that "the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven," so the Baptism of the Holy Spirit is not for the casual
inquirer. (Matthew 12:31) It is for "born-again" Christians. It is not "dead religion"; it is a living relationship with God. And it is not
for the unbelieving. (John 14:16-17) When you are sure you are a believer and also are willing to obey God in your life, then ask for the
Holy Spirit to enter your life and to fill you and cleanse you with His fire. (Matthew 3:11) "Your heavenly father will give the Holy
Spirit to them that ask of Him." (Luke 11:13) The Baptism of the Holy Spirit is for now and has always been available for any believer
bold enough to trust God and obey Him. When the believers asked for advice of the apostles on the day of Pentecost "What should we
do?", they were told to "repent", "be baptized", and "receive the Holy Spirit". (Acts 2:38) Jesus said in His sermon on the mount,
"Blessed are they who hunger and thirst after righteousness; for they shall be filled." (Matthew 5:6)

As Bishop and Overseer of the IFCFC I want to thank all our Associate Pastors, the deacons, the evangelists, the missionaries, the
clerks/secretaries, my administrative staff, family and friends for their dedication, the many sacrifices and the overwhelming
support within the last year. To each member of our fellowship, thank you for your faithful service, as we are poised for
greatness out of the hands of God while we continue on the journey. I also want to thank God for the pastors and members of the
other IFCFC branches that help us to spread the message across the world. The IFCFC family undoubtedly exemplifies what team
work and faith in God can accomplish.

On behalf of the IFCFC family, special thanks to our distinguished guest speaker Bishop Raymond Bryan, District Overseer of the
Green Island District of Churches, Hanover, Jamaica, W. I., delegates and special friends and all the other visiting churches
which continue to provide phenomenal support for the church throughout the year. We couldn’t have done this without your help!
Welcome and let us worship together and be renewed with the power of the Holy Ghost.
