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

LET US LEAVE THE FUTURE IN HIS HAND
kindness of God endures all day
long (Psalm 52:1b). 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

I request your whole hearted
support and cooperation for the

Please take advantage of the
subsidized & discounted rates to
register early and save.
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.

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

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.
BASKETBALL, VOLLEYBALL
AND SOCCER ALL UNDER ONE ROOF
Kevin Joseph
2015 AGIFNA Sports Coordinator
It is my privilege to serve
as the Sports Coordinator for
the 19 th annual AGIFNA
conference in my hometown of
Chicago, IL. I look forward to
this challenging responsibility,
but will eagerly embrace this
opportunity and look forward
to meeting the expectations set
forth by the standards of this
tournament.
For this years tournaments
we are looking forward to
having men’s basketball, co-ed
volleyball, and for the first time teams that register, we will wait
men’s soccer. We have already to decide on the most feasible
booked the venue for the
tournament and the location will
be approximately 20 minutes
away from the conference center.
Schaumburg Park District:
Sport Center
1141 West Irving Park Road,
Schaumburg, IL 60193
The tournament and game
formats have not been posted.
Since there is usually a
fluctuation with the amount of
format once registration is near
completion.
I encourage you to visit this
site frequently for any updates
that become available. If you
have any questions or concerns,
I may be reached via email at
[email protected]. I
will respond to emails in a timely
fashion.
Keeping with that spirit and
for God’s continued blessings
upon this conference, please
support us in prayer and
financially as we look to serve
the Lord the best way we can.
We should all strive towards the
motto for our conference: “Let
the same mind be in you that
was in Christ Jesus.” We’ll see
you soon.
AGIFNA National Conference is moving forward with new vision every year. Our goal is to provide
sound, biblical teaching and fellowship in an age of compromise and confusions. This conference
offers unique opportunities to fellowship with your fellow believers from around the country. We
offer separate meetings for ministries, men, women and children, combined family service, praise &
worship by talented singers, various sports activities for our youths and evenings filled with topnotch energizing Christian speakers.
