• Kentucky District UPCI Global Missions 2020 Schedule

  • Thank you for your incredible support of our Global Missionaries. The United Pentecostal Church exists to spread the whole Gospel, to the whole World, by the Whole Church. This means that every church in our district can help us spread the Gospel, by supporting our missionaries as they travel through Kentucky.

    Our goal is to have the twelve months of the 2020 deputation schedule for our 24 missionaries coming to Kentucky completed by January 1, 2020. In order to make this possible, we are giving you as much information as we can to help you in choosing and scheduling missionaries.

    You can have missionaries for a full service or just give them 10-15 minutes in a service. If you can’t afford to have them for a service - consider doing a hosting/offering only.

    A hosting would involve ONE or a combination of any of these three things: (1) Take the missionaries out to eat on a night you don’t have service, (2) Place them in a hotel at your expense, or (3) Give the missionaries an offering of at least $100. We are asking every church in the district to have two missionary engagements (services or hostings) in 2020 whatever is most convenient for you.

    The Kentucky District is centrally located in the the United States and we do a terrific job of hosting missionaries. In Kentucky, there are untapped resources of blessings for both our churches and missionaries. I believe that God is going to bless our churches and missionaries with great revival this year!

    For His Glory,
    Pastor A.J. Dummitt
    Kentucky Global Missions Director

  • Lonnie J. and Damarys Burton

    South America, Venezuela

     

    Lonnie James Burton, the son of Lonnie R. and Gail Burton, arrived in Venezuela as a two and a half-year-old child and was raised in Venezuela. He grew to be a youth pastor and musician in Barcelona and in other churches in eastern Venezuela where his parents ministered. He returned to the states when he was eighteen to attend Indiana Bible College, graduating in 1997. He then returned to Venezuela in the following fall as an AIMer, working in the Bible school in Valera. During that time he ministered on the weekends as an evangelist and started to open churches in the Andes Mountains. After starting a work he would pastor them until there was a graduate from the Bible school that wanted to pastor that work.

    He later married Damarys Martinez, whose father was a pastor and sectional presbyter. Together they worked as caretakers, administrators and teachers at the National Bible School. During this time they were able to start four churches, all of which all are still growing and are beautiful congregations today. Lonnie and Damarys received their missionary appointment to Venezuela in February 2004 and started deputation in September 2006. Upon their arrival in Venezuela, November 2008, they were given immediate oversight of the Bible school in the city of Valera as the directors. In the last four years working with the Bible school, the Burtons have seen over 230 students graduate. They also pastored a church during this term in the Andes Mountains called La Puerta for over two years. Also, they are involved in the Education and Missions Departments in the Venezuelan church and are still helping to establish more churches in this nation. During 2013-2015 they came back on deputation to raise more funds and special projects for the Nation of Venezuela. Upon their arrival May of 2015 they continued their work as Directors of the National Bible School in Venezuela in the City of Valera. In October they moved to another city in the east of Venezuela called Barcelona/Puerto La Cruz. In this area is where their main focus has been since 2013 for a new Bible school. In the last four years, they have seen over 462 students graduate. In forty-two years, “The Conquerors Bible School” has Graduated over 1870 of which 80% of them are pastoring in works here in Venezuela and around the world. Venezuela is having revival!

  • Michael and Danan Benson

    Missionary, Africa, Benin, Central African Republic

     

    In 2003, the Benson family began their active involvement in Global Missions as Aimers to the island of Madagascar. After experiencing the incredible revival taking place in Madagascar, the Bensons felt that the Lord was leading them to carry His Truth to Central African Republic and continue to build upon the foundation that Missionary Randy Adams, Area Coordinator of West Africa, had begun in 2002. Responding to the leading of the Spirit, they applied for an Intermediate Missionary Appointment to this nation. They were appointed by the United Pentecostal Church as global missionaries to the Central African Republic in February 2007.

    The Benson family arrived in Togo in December 2008 to begin their first 4 year term in West Africa. They immediately began studying the French Language by attending language school, as well as private tutoring. As their language progressed, they were able to further their involvement in the work in Togo through both teaching and evangelization in several capacities: Bible School, Crusades, Seminars, Sunday School, Ladies Ministry, Children’s Ministry, as well as Radio Evangelism.

    The Bensons feel that their time in Togo, as well as Madagascar, has been invaluable to the plan of God for their lives, preparing them for the work in the Central African Republic. The Bensons will be the first UPCI resident missionaries in this nation. They are scheduled to begin their second deputation in January 2013, and they hope to arrive as resident missionaries in Bangui, Central African Republic in late 2014 or early 2015.
