FELIZ AÑO NUEVO es lo que escucharemos por unos días más. Muchos
toman tiempo para reflexionar sobre
los altibajos del año pasado. Retrospectivamente consideran y piensan en lo
que podría haberse evitado y hecho mejor. No creo que la mayoría comienza
el año nuevo a los gritos: ¡Queremos
más de lo mismo! Todos esperamos lo
nuevo y mejorado. El deseo más profundo es ser y hacer mejor durante el
nuevo año.
Ya entrados al 2015, quiero aprovechar
la oportunidad para agradecerles por todo
lo que hacen por Su reino, para la iglesia que pastorea, y por su dedicación a la
conferencia de colorado.
Quiero dar las gracias al pastor Bob y
Ruth Carey, pastor Linda y Lonnie Talbert, pastor Jim y Cindy Roberts, pastor
Brian y Carole Burgess, pastor José y
María Mendoza, y pastor Greg Sampier
por los pilares de la conferencia. Quiero
agradecer al pastor Rodolfo y María Sosa, pastor Frank
y Helen Hilty, pastor Mylon y Dawn Bruce, y pastor
Miguel y Linda Wence por su compromiso de promover
el evangelio con paciencia y perseverancia en pueblos
pequeños. Quiero agradecer al pastor Tyler y Laura
Clark, pastor Carl y Amy Joseph, pastor Luis y Lillian
Garcia, y pastor Adrán y Rosalba Olivas por su fidelidad
como plantadores de nuevas iglesias. Son un gran ejemplo. Quiero agradecer al pastor Saul y Gina Ochoa, pastor
Jorge y Norma Luna por su valentía al llenar los zapatos
de su pastor anterior y sus continuos esfuerzos para realizar el crecimiento de estas iglesias. Quiero agradecer
al pastor Joe y Irene Sánchez, y pastor Saúl y Evelinda
Ruano por su maravilloso ejemplo de ministerio en la comunidad y crecimiento de la iglesia. Quiero agradecer al

Value
Pentecost
I know our job as pastors is at times painful, lonely and hard but
if we remain standing and stay true to our calling our God who is
faithful will bless us. I believe 2015 will be a pivotal and relevant
year for your church and the Rocky Mountain Conference.
Romans 1:9 “For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit
in the gospel of His Son, that without ceasing I make mention of
you always in my prayers”
THANK YOU!
P l a c e of H O P E
Soy consciente de que nuestro trabajo como pastores es
a veces doloroso, solitario, y duro pero si permanecemos
de pie y fieles a nuestro llamado, nuestro Dios, que es
fiel, nos bendecirá. Creo que el 2015 será un año importantísimo y relevante para su iglesia y la conferencia de
colorado.
Rom. 1:9 – Porque Dios es mi testigo, a quien sirvo en mi
espíritu en el evangelio de su Hijo, de que sin cesar me
acuerdo de vosotros siempre en mis oraciones.
¡Muchas Gracias!

BISHOPS Message
HAPPY NEW YEAR is what we will be hearing
for a few more days. People taking time to reflect
on the ups and downs of the previous year, with
hindsight they look back and wonder what could
have been avoided and what could have been better. I don’t think most people start the New Year
by shouting, “We want more of the same!” We all
look forward to the new and improved, deep down
our desire is to be better and do better in the New
Year.

Fast Declaration
for the IPHC
Presiding Bishop A. Douglas Beacham, Jr.
With the conviction that the Holy Spirit is calling us to be a Place of Hope and a People of Promise,
the International Pentecostal Holiness Church is crying out to God for revival among the peoples of
the world! History reveals that every great spiritual awakening was preceded by a time of intense
prayer and fasting. That formula remains the same!
It is still true that “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray,
and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive
their sin, and will heal their land” (2 Chronicles 7:14).
Jesus declared that some things “can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting” (Mark 9:29).
The local church was intended to be “a house of prayer for all nations” (Mark 11:17).
We must ask the sobering questions; are we a house of sermons, a house of songs, a house of
programs, or a house of prayer? The church is never taller than when it is on its’ knees and never
stronger than when it is prostrate in prayer! We must become what we were intended to be, houses
of prayer for all nations!
As Presiding Bishop of the International Pentecostal Holiness Church,
and as we enter into a year where our attention is on the ministries
of the Holy Spirit,
I hereby declare a time of prayer and fasting for 7 days,
from January 11-17, 2015.
This call to prayer and fasting is made to all constituents of the IPHC, not just a select group known
as intercessors. Our denomination is joining many other denominations and church organizations in
periods of prayer and fasting. We are convinced that the flood of God’s miracle working power flows
mightily through the channels of prayer and fasting. The amazing results of this united prayer movement will be evident to all!

Missions...
2015 doesn’t seem possible!
I remember growing up watching the Jetsons and
thinking I can’t wait to get my own flying car. While
there have been several advances we’re not quite
there.
Pastor Tyler Clark
The same can be said about Missions. 97% of the
world has access to the gospel, largely due to the
internet. The problem is they may have access,
but there is no discipleship. The great commission
is two-fold- To go and to train. We are in all parts of
the world, now we those willing to do the training
and discipleship, the front line missionaries.
Thank you for your continued monthly support to
missions. Because of your finances and prayer
thousands respond to the gospel each day.
People to People Ministries provides a
physical connection with a child at risk of
suffering from malnutrition, disease, poverty, and spiritual separation from God.
For $25 a month, child sponsorship provides nutritious food, medical care, educational opportunities, guidance, and lifechanging skills
Remember our continued goals for our conference:
1) Every church/ministry financially support at least one missionary monthly.
2) Every church/ministry give to the GO offering.
3) Every church/ministry support at least one
people to people child monthly ($25/mo).
REMEMBER
to send your

2014 was a very fruitful year for missions, but I
think we could do better. This 2015 let’s work together to have the greatest missional impact we
ever have had as a conference.
Thank you.
Pastor Tyler Clark
In 2002, the Balla family left their home in India with
an apostolic call to take the Gospel to Bangladesh,
and now, 32 churches have been established. They
set up the Bangladesh Theological Institute in Dhaka,
founded the primary school Holiness Academy, and
opened Frances Carter Boarding for village children
with no educational opportunities. The Ballas also
give oversight to IPHC works in Nepal, Myanmar, Sri
Lanka, Bhutan, and Pakistan, and they are committed to planting many more churches in places where
there is no IPHC work. The Ballas ask your prayers
for strong national leadership in their region and for
the favor and provision of God on their work.

What a busy year 2014 has been and we look
forward to 2015 with anticipation that God has
something significant in store for all those who
will seek Him. Remember women, we need to
Connect with each other, Celebrate our Father
and His goodness to us. Cultivate relationships
and Create an environment around us where
others want what we have. We have a busy
schedule of Women’s activities. Here are a few
that are coming soon.

Proverbs 18:16 A man’s gift makes room for him,
And brings him before great men.
Certainly God is opening doors for Jon & Angie as
they speak for the unborn.
Mission: M25 exists to network those who reach out to the
Matthew 25 people groups. From biker ministries, to feeding
the homeless, to visiting those in the hospital, we invite all
those who minister to the helpless, hopeless, and hurting to
make a connection through Mission: M25. Your contributions
to Mission: M25 are vital to continuing its ministry efforts.
Our General Superintendent Bishop Doug Beacham has announced that the IPHC focus
for 2015 is “We Prayerfully Value Pentecost”.
With that in mind why not begin the year with the month of January being focused on
praying for revival? A life changing revival that brings both a personal and a church
wide “Pentecost” According to Acts 1:8 Pentecost is power. It is power to witness to a
lost
and
dying
world.
It
is
power to bring changes in lives that are broken and hurting.(Galatians 5:22-23)
Cheryl &
Jerry Milhorn Pentecost is a boldness to speak the truth in love.
As WIN directors Jerry and I are calling for the Rocky Mountain Conference to a time of personal prayer and fasting beginning
the second week of each month (7 days) in 2015 and invite you to join us. We want to begin with a call for repentance and the
seeking of God’s presence. (2 Chron. 7:14) At the beginning of each month we will send pastors a new focus of prayer for that
month so you and your churches can join us in unified prayer.(Acts 2:1) We look forward to the great things God has planned for
our conference and our denomination in 2015.
In Christ’s Service,
Jerry and Cheryl Milhorn
