2014 Financial Report Indiana District, United Pentecostal Church, International MOVING MOUNTAINS N O T H I N G I S I M P O S S I B L E MATTHEW 17:20 1 2 July 7, 2015 Dear Ministers of the Indiana District, I greet you today in the lovely name of Jesus – that name that is above all names! This past year has been a very good year for the Indiana District of the United Pentecostal Church. Our camps, conferences and rallies have all enjoyed the blessings of the Lord. We thank God for the wonderful spirit of unity and cooperation that exists throughout our district. We are proud of Indiana’s preachers, churches, and saints. As we travel our state we Qind your church properties and buildings clean and well kept. Your church services are vibrant and anointed of God. Your congregations seem to be hungry for revival and very receptive to the word of God. The Scriptures declare that every house is built by some man. We all know that revival does not just happen. It comes as the result of much prayer, fasting, planning and implementation. Without a vision, people perish. Thus we thank each of you for your commitment, your vision and for your hard work. You are the ones who have made Indiana the great district that it is! Sister Stroup and I want to thank you once again for the honor you have bestowed upon us. We are truly humbled by the love and support that you have extended to us over the past thirteen years. What a pleasure and privilege it is to labor together with people of like precious faith in the greatest of all undertakings – the work of God. Once again it has been a great honor to serve with our Indiana District Board. I want to express my sincere appreciation to our good District Secretary, Brother Mark Johnson, for his faithful and dedicated service to our district. Our presbyters, Brothers James Fielder, Mark Cottrill, Harrell Wilson, Darrin Williams, Terry Long, Mark Abernathy, Larry Arrowood, and David Bayer are all honorable men who represent you well. They truly have this district at heart. We also deeply appreciate our lone honorary board member, Brother Glenn Seaman, who served us so well for nearly three decades as our District Secretary. Thank you, brethren, for all you are and for all you do. We also sincerely appreciate the dedication and commitment of all of our department heads and secretaries – both on the district and sectional levels. These individuals have given tirelessly of their time and energy to promote their programs and to do all they can to make their departments successful. Many of our departments have had record offerings over the past few years! 3 This speaks well of both the great job they are doing to facilitate their various fund raising efforts – and of the spirit of cooperation and generous giving that has played a vital part in these accomplishments. We also want to thank you for your giving to the campgrounds over the past several years. It is your generosity that has helped us to achieve the many improvements that have been made. Thank you for your buy-in! Without your help these things could never have happened. The gym is, at last, nearing completion. We are sorry for the unforeseen glitches that hindered us and kept us from completing this edi?ice as quickly as we had hoped. There were several unavoidable complexities that slowed our progress. We thank you for your patience. And now we are looking forward to using this much needed structure – dedicated to our beloved Brother F. R. Martin – for many years to come! We also owe a debt of gratitude to so many others, ministers and saints alike, who add so much to our district, often times behind the scenes, unnoticed and unrecognized. What dedicated people you are! Again, we say thank you! Furthermore we say “thank you” to all of you ministers who have faithfully cooperated with our district’s ?inancial policy during this past year. Your faithfulness has been a great blessing to our district and sections that depend upon these monies to operate. Thank you for your faithful stewardship. Sister Stroup and I count ourselves blessed to have had the opportunity to serve Indiana. And we fully believe that if we will continue to work together in the unity of the Holy Ghost – that we can and will accomplish all that the Lord has called us to do. I personally believe that we are on the very brink of Indiana’s greatest days of revival ever! God bless you all! We love you! Yours in His service, Robert L.

As we reported last year, the health department has given us a challenge to achieve over the next few years. We began last year with improvements to our water system for the RV area, along with upgrading and adding power to service more RV’s in the camper area. This has been a resounding success. Thanks to Bro. Bault and Bro. Parker, we have improved both systems, and have already see a large jump in participation with the RV lot being full most of the 2015 season, which has never happened previously. We now have effectively doubled the number of trailers we can mange both for sew- er/water and with electrical hook-ups. The Camp has seen a remarkable reversal in operating finances since the District Board raised both camp fees and cabin assessments last season. We have had a $50,000 turn around. We reported a loss of almost $40,000 in 2013, and we have a $10,000 profit for 2014, which is quite a turnaround. With a careful eye on costs and the ability to match our rates to our costs, we will strive to maintain the balance of costs and camp rates to keep the camp in the black in the years to come. We have seen several significant improvements over the past year as well. With almost all of the departments having a banner-offering year, they have been generous with their support of camp improvements. Adam Faulkner and the Sunday School team lead the effort, with the Ladies Ministry matching their support, and Sunday School purchased new mattresses for the dorms. The Youth Department and the District Board participated as well and funded the $17,000 proj- ect. The project, new mattresses in all of our camper dorms! This has resulted in a record atten- dance in 2015 so far. The Sunday School and Youth department put in a new central air and heat pump in conqueror’s hall, and the district board covered the cost of replacing their broken unit as well in the District office. Immediately, the unit in the workers dorm failed, and the camp had to replace it before the 2015 camp season started. The a/c unit in dorm 3 failed and a new heat pump was installed to replace it. The district also replaced the broken sidewalks around this District office and dorm, as well. There are upgrades to the landscaping also. Perennial flowers instead of annual cost of planting flowers to make our campground attractive. Bro. Arrowood’s church donated their labor to replace our entrance to the tabernacle with a new 6 porch roof, which cost a little over $10,000 to complete. The tech team advanced the project by including under the eave sound system, which will enable any overflow crowds to hear clearly the preached word of the Lord.
