Unfortunately, it also lists 16 ministers as deceased, and 79 ministers who have written to drop their license.

THIS LIST DOES NOT INCLUDE ANY MINISTERS WHO HAVE LET THEIR DUES LAPSE.

63 added.
95 dropped.

And this does not include those who leave quietly, by not paying their dues. Many men leave this way because they do not want their name published in the "No Longer Affiliated" section.

Is the Froward Magazine still quarterly?

Does anyone know if this guy has like a raspy quality to his voice? If so, I remember him from Jacksonville, NC-- many years ago.

Thank you!

Jermyn,

I wouldn't say his voice was raspy.

You have to listen fast when Mark Johnston talks! LOL. But my advice is, DO LISTEN FAST because you won't want to miss a word of it. I could listen to his sermons three or four times and probably pick up something I missed each time. They are so packed full!

Every other month.

Truth is, the UPC has less ministers now than it did five years ago.

I guess Leonard Westberg's "bowel movement" has become more like the runs.

... but then again, when push came to shove for me, I was silent as I got shoved around and quietly demurred to the boneheads. In the end, all that will be left of the U.P. of C. will be the boneheads. Unless, those boneheads go out and found another WWPF type thing.

Bump:thumbsup

I doubt anyone ever bullied AT... LOL.

Re: Mark Johnston Drops from UPCI, Garner Next???

I recently let my license drop.

I know of six other ministers whom I am close to in both age and ideology who have done the same.

They're sick of it.

The UPCI definitely lost two jewels when they lost AT and MJ. Also, AT's wife sings like an angel...so make that three jewels.

The Trouts are great people ... saw them from afar at the Global shindig

I would say those leaving range from 35-45

dunno about how raspy his voice is lately, however.

Thank you.

This is the man I remember. I was so impressed with the way the Lord used him in our services when he was there. My Pastor at time (Pastor Gilbert) was-- our whole church was!

I think I may have the cassette tape recordings somewhere too (in storage).

I remember thinking man this guy is not much older than me and he is such an INTELLIGENT and ANOINTED preacher!

I remember thinking that he had to be special for this young man to be preaching at our church-- Pastor Gilbert was a very special Pastor to me.

It's times like this when my reflections on my time in Jacksonville, NC are so positive. We prayed for Mark Johnston, for him to bring a word from the Lord, before he even showed up. I remember being so glad when he came and wishing that he would stay. Man, there were some really good times in Jacksonville, NC.

That UPCI church in Jacksonville, NC had some AWESOME services-- very powerful moves of God in the lives of so many people there! I'm convinced that the main reason for this is that so many of the people in our church prayed so often.

The UPCI church in Jacksonville, NC was a praying church!

I would listen to then Evangelist Mark Johnston's tapes in my car over and over again when I was stationed at Camp LeJeune.
