The last 2 nights I have sat and worshiped in the First Annual RAIN conference sponsored by the upc.. RAIN is Reaching African Immigrants in North America... its a product of a burden the UPC has for African ministries and our African daughter work was fortunate enough to have the first conference here! It was awesome and we are so excited! Seeing more and more Africans come in daily is such a blessing! We look forward to one day being there with them in their country to worship with them there but until that day we will be happy with fellowship here with them...

It was funny because they introduced my hubby as their white african brother who aint seen africa but is more African than some of them LOL... he loved that... These people are such a blessing and we love them... and I personally love the UPC! Had a wonderful time of fellowship after with the African church family and many of the officials from Missouri and I have to say... I love their burden for Africa!!!!!

AG,

Is the daughter work from your church made up of Nigerians? I am just wondering because I know there is a Nigerian Pentecostal Church in Houston. I know a lady that I use to work with that attends the one here.

We have people from every country represented. Both of our pastors are Nigerian and we have Kenyans and pretty much every country is or has at one time been represented.

This was the first conference sponsored by the UPC... the turnout from other churches was not good but our church turned up which helped a lot. We look forward to hosting it again in the future. And ohhhhh the food! I have not had a lot of African food before but it was indeed good!
