TRUE CHURCH OF THE HOUSE OF PRAYER TO ALL NATIONS 74TH NATIONAL YOUNG PEOPLE’S UNION MUSIC AND ARTS CONVENTION
National Official Day Presiding Bishop Isaac W Woods Sr. Acknowledgment and Thank You I would like to acknowledge the extraordinary Men and Women of God who make up this New Young People Union Convention Staff, the new fully in charge National YPU President Elder Stewart Maurice Butler, YPU Vice President Elder Reginald Thompson, YPU Pulpit Conductor of Praise and Worship Elder Edward McClain, YPU National Chairman of Finance District Bishop Keith L. Askin Sr. and National YPU Program Director with their staff and hard work has made this 74th National YPU Convention a resounding success. TO GOD BE THE GLORY!!!!!! The National YPU Staff, under the awesome leadership of Elder Butler, has done an outstanding and amazing job envisioning, engaging, and executing an anointed convention in honor Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We have had a Holy Ghost good time in our services every night, and your Presiding Bishop and True Church Family applaud and salute you. Thank you for all the sweat and tears some have had to endure to cause this week’s service to operate in excellence, but you all pulled together and made it happen and we love and appreciate all you have achieved. Thank You, In Jesus Christ Name, National Chief Apostle and Presiding Bishop Isaac W. Woods Sr. TRUE CHURCH OF THE HOUSE OF PRAYER TO ALL NATIONS, INC.
The Statement of Faith • We believe that salvation comes only through the Lord Jesus Christ, who is the only begotten Son of the Father, conceived of the Holy Ghost, and born of the Virgin Mary. • We believe that Jesus Christ was crucified, buried and was raised from the dead as it is written in Holy Scripture. That Jesus ascended to heaven and is now at the right hand of the Father as our intercessor. • We believe that all have sinned and fallen short of God’s glory and that repentance is required by God and is necessary for the forgiveness of sins. • We believe that water baptism by immersion must be in the Name of The Father, The Son, and the Holy Ghost. • We believe that holiness is God’s standard of living for His People. • We believe that speaking with other tongues as the Spirit of God gives utterance is the initial evidence of the Baptism of the Holy Ghost. • We believe that divine Healing is provided for all in the atonement. • We believe that the Lord’s Supper should be commemorated. • We believe in the washing of the saints’ feet in love and humility. • We believe that the resurrection and rapture of the True Church is imminent. • We believe in the Blessed Hope, which is the rapture of the True Church of the House of Prayer To All Nations at His return. • We believe in the final judgment of the living and the dead and the final establishment of a new heaven and earth wherein righteousness dwelleth.

I CORINTHIANS 12:1-11, KJV 1 Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant. 2 Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led. 3 Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost. 4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. 5 And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. 6 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all. 7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. 8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; 9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; 10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: 11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.
